Cowher Talking to Skins about Job in '08?

FanNation | Truth&Rumors | Cowher secretly planning 2008 return (http://fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/7133)

Supposedly, we're one of three teams he or his "people" have contacted regarding potential opennings in 2008.

Ah, the infamous "league source"

He'd be stupid not to contact the Redskins. Gibbs won't be here forever (sad to say) and he'll get paid here and get whatever he wants.

That said, why does this keep being brought up every few months?

when he retired there was talk of him taking over after gibbs. I would be happy for this to happen except for the fact that we already have two cordinators that could be coaches and there is no reason to bring in another system. GW should be coach after gibbs as long as he can put up a good defense these next couple years. Saunders and GW would be pissed off. GW would get a million dollar bonus though. This is just a rumor right now. No need to take any substance out of it but the skins will be of talk when he comes back. Danny boy will beat out any offers so why wouldn't the skins be a front runner?

I don't think GW will finish his tenure here. His stock fell a little last year, and if he fields a good defense this season, teams will throw some money at him. The NFL is all about timing and striking while the iron is hot.

That being said, my gut tells me Williams won't wait for Gibbs to finish his last year, and another team makes Williams forget about the $1MM clause in his contract. Gregg Blache will eventually take over the defense.

I like the idea of Cowher as HC and Gibbs doing some GM work.

Blache could draw some serious interest as a head coach very soon.

I would also like to add that I have seen to many super star cordinators turn out to be bust aka: Norv. Cowher is a proven winner!

I would only want Cowher if Grimm and the rest of the most recent Steeler SB Champ staff came over. Because I am not convinced it was all Cowher that led to their last Super Bowl team.

The Steelers also do a great job in the draft, something we are just now getting better at.

WOW, now that one catches my a little of guard, but just a league source, which means nothing.......?

First of all Joe will still be here in 08, I hope. I like Cowler as a coach and all, but at what capacity if something like that were to happen with the SKINS in 08?

With that being said when Joe finishes up with the coaching gig, he would be a great fit. I believe he moved down South to....NC I think? Close to DC
