skinsfan4l1fe Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 He won one super bowl in 15 seasons. He has won a lot of games but in the AFC Central/North. He played the sorry Bengals, Browns, and Houston twice a year. Cowher's legacy is in Pittsburgh not in DC. I could not have imagined Gibbs coaching somewhere other than Washington? I can't go thru the season of the media saying “Redskins have the losing Cowher 2.0 not the winning one." Bettis every Sunday on CBS telling the world how this is not the same coach he played for Snyder must be holding him back. We should continue with what we have or blow it up and get a new young HUNGRY coach. One that wants to be in Washington because he loves it and they gave him his first chance not some recycled coach that will only come here if we pay him $10 million and give him full control and let him do it his way. That’s to much for an outsider to have and that’s what Cowher would be a Steelers coaching the skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedlightG20 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Agreed ^^ He is a big name and thats what sells. The Skins' value as a franchise increased by 30% since Gibbs came back. But a big name coach isn't what is best for the team right now. Hire from within (GW!)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theTruthTeller Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 There are three types of coaches available for hire: (1) HC coaches recently fired, (2) coordinators that you really know nothing about and (3) coaches who left on their own terms. Cowher is about the only successful coach in group (3), so everyone thinks he can be their savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowher is a good coach, that could be spectacular if he had a good organization that is willing to spend behind him. Take it or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm City Sports Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Greg Williams needs to be the coach. We need to hire within. Cowher would not be a good fit here. knowing Danny, he probally already made up his mind about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regularjoe Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I don't doubt Cowher is a good coach but I agree with those who say he would necessarily be the panacea for the problems the team has. Will the defense play any better with him at the helm than any other candidate? Offense? Special teams? Will players play harder under him than Gibbs? Was effort ever a concern (even if execution clearly was)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styx491 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 what makes you think GW is more fit? He's been under Gibbs (maybe Gibbs' good qualities brushed off on him), he knows the players and the players know him, he has a system in place, he knows the staff and the staff knows him, continuity, he deserves a shot with the Skins, Saunders will most likely get full control of the offense, so no more vanilla redzone, Saunders will most likely bring his own staff in, and in my opinion, we will become a defense based team with a capable and proven Saunders offense.

He was learning from Gibbs II which isn't saying much. This is a different NFL that Joe wasn't really familiar with. He has had a chance at being HC and didn't do anything with it. I'm pretty sure Belichick has more wins this season than GW has had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nostril Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have little doubt that Cowher would be a winner in D.C., however it would take him a few years to get the personel that he would need to play his type of football. However, we're a good enough team that we can be good now. We need someone who'll keep moving us in the same direction that Gibbs, Williams, and Saunders have for the past 4 years(well, saunders only 2). Hiring from within is only logical, because it keeps the group together. Cowher should only be brought to a team that needs to be completely rebuilt from the ground up, or who already has the personel to run a 3-4 defense, and a big running back for all his old school offensive leanings. I don't know that Williams is the best decision, he could easily be Norv Turner, unsuccessful with one team, unsuccessful with another team. Or he could be Bill Belicheck. But hindsight is the one that's 20-20 not foresight, and from where I'm sitting he seems like the logical choice. I guess Dan Snyder has to feel like he's rocking the world every time he hires a coach though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkalnasy Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 From what I understand, Cowher has plans for at least taking 1 more season off...give GW a chance to prove himself perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what people thinking is that Cowher doesn't want to coach again yet, but that Snyder might give him an offer he can't refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theTruthTeller Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 (4) College Coaches. Good catch - I think that the failures of Cam Cameron, Bobby Petrino and Spurrier have soured the NFL on most college coaches. Maybe Pete Carroll has a shot, although he failed in the NFL before success in college. I still think Cowher is the easy pick for Snyder. Maybe not the best pick though. Hard to criticize someone for hiring Cowher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da#1skinsfan Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 because its juicy. everyone loves to hate, and this is the riskiest and flashiest way of doing things. as much as everyone says "I hate snyder trying to buy a team" they f'ng love watching these high profile moves go down, love getting their hopes up...they love the cycle.
