Report: Cowher meeting with Bills again today

[Kurb]

I don't want a 3-4 defense.

Nor do I, but I don't think that would be an issue.

Oh but Peppers does

[PantherDude]

I don't want a 3-4 defense.

Me either. And I don't want to wait 13 yrs. for a SB ring. Screw how many Playoffs he won: it's the SB we're talking about. Why else fans want Fox gone? Because he haven't gotten us a SB ring. And the reason Cowher won is because they kept him around forever. That would be like doing the same with keeping Fox that long & he probably would win a SB.

[Mr. Scot]

As of now, the lion's share of coaching speculation in Buffalo seems to center not around Bill Cowher, but around Brian Billick.

Do you mean, not an issue, as in he won't switch them to a 3-4, or as in the switch will be easy? Or do you mean it won't be an issue because he's not coming here?

[Delhommey]

Even if Cowher were to come here, he probably would have no reason to switch to a 3-4.

He ran the 3-4 defenses in KC and Pitt, but in both cases the 3-4 was already in place.

I agree

I don't remember Chuck Knoll ever running a 3-4 with the Steelers. In fact, he was one of John Fox's mentors and they won those Superbowls with 4-3 defenses.

[Panthro]

I don't see the appeal of the bills Job.

The fanbase is waning.

It's f**king cold.

The owner is a tightwad (has been in the past)

The team is in a mess.

Its in Buffalo, only thing they have is wings.

sold!

Once he saw Beason in action, any question of switching to a 3-4 would go out the door IMHO. Although I am sure he would still use it on certain downs.

The Steelers have been running a 3-4 since the early 80's. They ran a 4-3 in the glory years in the 70's.

I guess I'll take your word for it. I didn't pay that much attention to them after Bradshaw left (mainly because they weren't on TV around here nearly as much). Still though, if Cowher was a 4-3 guy, there is no reason to believe he wouldn't have brought it back.

[Delhommey]

He almost did switch to the 4-3 in Pittsburgh, but he decided to stick with what was in place.

Well damn. Why have I never heard that before?
