I think the positives in Cowher's favor (right or wrong) are that when people think of him they think perennial playoff contender, overachiever (worked with a much more stingy ownership, imagine what he could do with an open checkbook), stability, no-nonsense attitude.

Daniels just interviewed on nbc4 said that it would be tough to bring anyone in and said "I don't think you should bring anyone new in. I think you should build on what you got...nobody deserves it more than greg and i would like to see him as the next head coach". I think Phillip speaks for most of the players. They want GW. He even said the offense and the special teams really respects GW. Daniels said bringing in a new head coach would be hard on the players.

i Personally want Greg Williams to be head coach with Al still in control of the offense. We saw what Jason Campbell is gonna be and what the offense looked like with Todd Collins at the controls. If Al leaves I'm afraid that Jason's development will set back from trying to learn a new offense. I wanna see the staff stay intact with Greg being promoted. We all should hope that Danny doesn't break up the band. We are closer than alot of people think. Consistency and stability is what makes teams good. I'm not ready to go through all this rebuilding crap again. Anyways does anyone or has anyone heard when they are gonna be actively looking for the next coach.

Which means that if they bring in Cowher, he'll have to ship out half the players because they won't "his guys". That means a lot of losing for the foreseeable future. I think it would be a big mistake to pass Williams over. Unfortunately its the sort of mistake I would expect from the current ownership group.

Who's really out there, anyway?
Who else is there? I'm leaving college coaches off this list, I truly hope we don't go in that direction.
If GW doesn't get the job...Ron Rivera, coaching LBs in San Diego this year. DC for Chicago 2004-2006, that was a pretty good D. Diverse defensive background (Buddy Ryan, Tampa-2, 3-4 in SD). Got shafted by Bears, probably conflict with Lovie Smith. A little young, but regarded as a very good defensive mind.

People will think whatever I tell them to think.

After hearing Snyder talk today I don't see him bringing in a new guy from the outside. It's probably GW's job to lose. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" were Snyder's words today.

GW as HC and promote the DL coach to D-Coordinator. Crap what was his name....he use to coach for the Bears and was up for a few head coaching jobs a couple of years ago....and well thats all I know about him.
