Lavarleap56 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/bill_syken/01/11/scorecard.daily/ Here's a theory on why the Giants extended the contract of Tom Coughlin after a year in which the team clearly underperformed: they are looking ahead to the Bill Cowher sweepstakes of 2008. The Giants may be holding on to Coughlin while they wait for a shot at the horse they really want. Who wouldn't want a Super Bowl coach who lasted a decade-plus in his previous job and left everyone feeling good about him? The catch is, the Giants won't be the only suitor. Cowher will be at the top of the list next year for every team with a coaching vacancy. The other day a colleague and I were bandying about possible destinations for Cowher: New York, Dallas, Miami, New York, Carolina, and maybe Tampa Bay. Then we realized there was only one logical destination, and it was pretty obvious where Cowher will end up next year. The deal hasn't been made yet, but it is inevitable. So let's just fast forward to that press conference, which has likely has already been scheduled, and will taking place one year from now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 It would take another season like this one as well as Coach joe starting Brunell over a healthy capmbell and the defense ranked as this year with Holdman still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimster Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 something tells me Cowher will be very selective when he decides to return. - I could see him waiting a year or so rather than jumping on the first offer. - For some reason I could see him in the south - Carolina if that opportunity presented itself in the next few years or one of the Florida teams.

skinzplay Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 hilarious - i like that "assistant head coach -motivation" line. classic, and so fitting. cowher is too smart to make the mistake of ever coaching under the direction of our management. he just won't do it.

21dave Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I really think he does end up in NY. He'll go work for a family revered in the NFL as the Rooney family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinzOwnU Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 That's a great article. The redskins organization deserves every bit of hazing in there. Still, for some reason, I don't see Cowher coming here. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins247 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/bill_syken/01/11/scorecard.daily/ Here's a theory on why the Giants extended the contract of Tom Coughlin after a year in which the team clearly underperformed: they are looking ahead to the Bill Cowher sweepstakes of 2008.

So let's just fast forward to that press conference, which has likely has already been scheduled, and will taking place one year from now: The Giants I could see going after Cowher if the Giants have another mediocre season. Dallas I can also see making a run at him if Parcells doesn't stay beyond next year. Which isn't likely. Miami? I don't see him going there at all. Reason being, they will likely hire a young head coach. And obviously they wouldn't fire him after one season. At least you would think not. He's definitely not going to Carolina. Fox isn't going anywhere unless he wants to. About the only way I can see Fox not coaching the Panthers beyond next year is if they have a losing record this coming season. And I don't really see that happening. I can see where people would assume he'd coach there because he just bought a house a few hours away from Charlotte. But it aint happening. I think the Redskins, provided Joe retires after next year, will possibly throw a ton of money at the guy. Wouldn't be shocked if he ended up in Cleveland either. After all, he did play for them early in his career. After a year off he might just be up for a challenge. And, needless to say, the Browns would be that. Man, would the Steeler fans hate that, or what? Him ending up in Cleveland and them facing the Steelers a couple times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidernat Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I doubt this happens. Personally, I hope it doesn't happen. Why not at least wait until 2007 is played out before speculation about 2008 begins...have we gotten that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I love this team, but the Redskins are real easy to make fun of because of well, everything. I just let it roll of my back. I live in the past with this team; watching old Redskin games from the 80's and the 91 season. I also play Madden, the skins are undefeated on my PS2.

revallenjr Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 It is just another slap at the Redskins and Cowher and all the other out of Job Head coaches mentioned in the add. I think there needs to be some lawsuits filed for the defaming of character of great coaches and the greatest football (Personal Preference) of all time. "QUESTION: Bill, what about the size of the coaching staff here, which is already the biggest in the NFL. At the end of 2006 the Redskins had strong, highly paid coordinators in Gregg Williams and Al Saunders, plus a host of veteran assistants. Then in the '07 off-season Snyder hired Mike Ditka as a tight ends coach and Dick Vermeil as "assistant head coach -- motivation." Just about everyone in those Coors Light ads got a job. Now you're here. My question is, what do all these people do all week? How many coaches can a team hire before it realizes that maybe there is a problem somewhere else in the organization...."

Joncevensen Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Cowher will coach along the atlantic coast from DC to Miami, so he's close to his family in Carolina I think that Gibbs will in fact stay for five years unless he wins the Super Bowl next year. And I think Cowher may take an extra year off to be with his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[[ghost]] Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 No disrespect to Cowher, But I would rather see a successful Gibbs winning us a SB than Cowher. Hell, I'd rather promote Saunders or Williams, and have either one of them take us to the promised land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
