Schefter: Cowher Unlikely to Coach in 2010

Recommended Posts

Adam Schefter was just interviewed on ESPNEWS (tune in they usually repeat segments) and gave his reasoning behind this. He said 2 weeks ago there was a reason Bill Cowher was thought to be coming back and that it didn't turn out the way he thought it would. He said it is now "unlikely" that he comes back but he said two weeks ago it was also unlikely that John Fox would keep his job in Carolina, he said things change and we don't know for sure whats going to happen.

Now I'm not on either side of the bandwagon or trying to make news but when you say things like that and make comparisons of John Fox and Bill Cowher it sure seems like Cowher thought this job would become available and since it didn't he doesn't want to go anywhere else. All signs seem to be pointing to Cowher definitely wanting this job and not being interested in another one, the thing we don't know is if the feelings are mutual.

:iagree: I think everyone knows that Cowher wants to be here. I became a believer when Shannon Sharpe made his little comment about "We coming to Carolina".

This whole scenario should be fun to watch, at least till next preseason when Fox is on the sidelines chewing gum and doing the good job guys clap.

Cowher, if he is indeed waiting on the Panthers job, may have to have a plan B. I'd guess the Panthers will win 10 games next year sans major injuries, so will Fox be resigned if he makes a push in the playoffs next season? Thus leaving Cowher "waiting" again.

I'm all for Cowher now.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
