Default Bettis: Cowher is waiting for Giants job

now this would suck..


Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 14, 2010 6:37 PM ET
Another spin of the coaching carousel will come and go without Bill Cowher returning to the NFL. Jerome Bettis has an idea where "The Chin" would like to jump back on.

"[The Giants are] the team that he really coveted," Bettis said on SIRIUS radio with Chris Russo Thursday. "This is where he always wanted to be. The Mara family, he's been very close to them. . . . He's known them very well and was on the inside track -- before the Giants won the Super Bowl -- for that job. And I think he's holding out for that opportunity if it presents itself."

Bettis probably annoyed a people with that quote: The Giants, Cowher, Coughlin, and NBC for not sharing that scoop back in the day. (Oh, and the Jets for knocking them off the back page Friday.)

Whether Bettis is right or not, this will only

It could make sense, but it might just be a cover for the fact that none of the teams with coaching availabilities want him right now.

Hopefully the controversy will poison the Giants for 2010.

What's so great about Cowher? He won a single get lucky super bowl and had dumb luck in the playoffs to get there.

The AFC was either an inferior conference or his team was not elite during the lion share of his tenure, what is so great about him?

Took him 14 years to win a super bowl, you think the Giants have that kind of patience?

I happen to know Steve Tische, which is to say I've met him and am friends with his secretary, and he's not patient about much of anything these days.

Who cares? Cowher has been away for the game too long and will have a Parcells, Joe Gibbs type of effect if he comes back. You can't be away from the game that long and come back and act like everything is going to be the same.

Good. I hope he takes the NY job. He had a perfect situation for years in Pittsburg and won ONE superbowl thanks in no small part to the refs. Coughlin is just as good as Cowher. The Cowher praise on this site is way way war overdone.

The rumor here is that Cowher is waiting for the Panthers job to open up since he wants to stay in NC. John Fox is a good HC though and isn't likely to go anywhere soon so Cowher may take one of the college jobs instead. He went to NC State and that would make the most sense for him IMO but I think he would rather be in the NFL if possible.

Not sure how he would be in any way close to the Giants since he has had ZERO to do with them in his career other than to coach against them at times.
Captain Nathan Brittles: "Only the man who commands can be blamed. It rests on me... mission failure!"

"Jerry Jones is a billionaire fan who bought his own team for the express purpose of buying his way into the game. He wants to hang out with the players, stand in front of the cameras, be the face of the team (yech), make personnel moves as if this were a video game, and more than anything else, be seen as the guy who made it all happen."

I'm still completely oblivious as to why people here think Cowher is some sort of multiple-Super Bowl winning coach and is the solution to all of life's football problems.

What is Cowher minus Dick Lebeau? Not much.


Dez Bryant, Receiver. A man who's season is over. Gentlemen, the Cowboy's staff can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first super human receiver.
Dez Bryant will be that man. Better than he was before. Better.... Stronger..... Faster......

i getcha , but honestly you can say this about so many coaches it could take weeks.

bottom line is i would rather he not be in our division that's all.

IMO .He's a better than coughlin .. who by the way has never won without spagnuolo. (.he he couldn't resist )...

Yeah, for the Giants.

Cowher is no better a coach than Coughlin is, and Coughlin actually won a legit championship, not one handed to them by the officials.

I wish they would hire spit face.

A new era begins
