Can we lure Bill Cowher to Dallas?

[TXCowboyVol]

If and it's a HUGE IF....we could lure Bill Cowher out of retirement, agree or disagree, that this would be the guy to turn around the comedic cowbags?? What are the odds?? Less than 5%?? He's a Jimmah type and would lure quality free agents as well...

I'll pass on Cowher...

 

[alicetooljam]

He's already said in so many words...in the last week...on air...that he could never work for Jerry, but who knows.

 

[Direwolf63]

There is no way in your know where that Bill Cowher would ever work for Jerry Jones.

If Bill Cowher would be the next Cowboys HC, I would eat my keyboard.

 

[Verdict]

No. The chin is very overrated.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

He is not a fan of Jerry's. No way he's going to work for that clown.

 

[KB1122]

To have arguments every week with a quarterback who has power over the offense written into his contract? Heh, no.

 

[Alexander]

No. He has made it very clear he would want control over personnel and even bring his own cap manager with him (Omar Khan) several times in interviews I have heard him conduct.

Why does everyone want to pull these coaches back into football? Has no one learned from Kiffin, or Parcells, or Jimmy Johnson 2: Miami Boogaloo, or Shanahan, or pretty much every single time in football history that someone has tried to recreate a coach's past success with their team?

Jimmy Johnson 2: Miami Boogaloo! - Well played sir!

ESPN should do a 30 for 30 doc on this.

I also 100% agree with your post.

 

[Tabascocat]

He has made it clear that he wants only one coaching job and that is in NY for the Giants.

I think he waited too long to get back into the game, not sure he would be effective now anyways.

 

[joseephuss]

He hasn't coached since the 2006 season. You don't get better at your profession by sitting out of it for that long a period of time. Taking a year or two off to recharge can be beneficial to a coach. Being out of coaching for 7 seasons is not.

It took Cowher how many years to win a Super Bowl?

No thanks. I'll be 80 or somesuch.

 

[erod]

Plus, Cowher is not not going to sully his Steelers persona by pulling a Benedict Arnold in Dallas. (Though I know he played for Cleveland).

If he came back, which is highly unlikely, it would be somewhere more innocuous than that for Steelers fans.

 

[CalCBFan]

No. The chin is very overrated.

I agree! In 10-15 years he made it to 2 SBs. I think Gruden is a better choice because he has worked for a wacko owner (Al Davis) before...

It worked out pretty well for Dick Vermille. Rams (SB) and KC (POs)...

I have no pony in this race. I just want Opie gone.

However, I see answers like yours over and over about this guy and have to wonder if you have a real reason or this is just a fashionable way to put down th3e OP.

I don't believe Cowher will leave a cush job of being a talking head. So this is moot.

But too many come along and toss out the I'll pass, and it makes me wonder if you can string together a cogent argument against Cowher.

I don´t think he would come here but I would love to have him.
Look at what he did with the Steelers:
15 years
10 Playoff appearances
21 playoff games
8 Division titles
4 Championship games
2 Super Bowls, winning one of them
Coach of the year
Record as a head coach is 149–90–1 (161–99–1 including playoff games).

I would sign for that in a second, heck of a HC, plus he would bring an attitude that is much needed in Dallas.
Saying that, it ain´t gonna happen.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I've always taken the stance that i'd rather get a coach in here who is new and doesn't already have a championship.

But ask yourself this. If you were Cowher, would you come here? Because I wouldn't.

I think that if you posted those stats without anybody knowing who those stats belonged to, everybody would take that type of history of success.

Cowher doesn't think the Cowboys management model leads to success. So he would never sign up for it.
