Overall, if we swapped Cowher for Shanahan and kept everything else the same, it wouldn't be much different. I'd be 10/10 happy with Cowher as a coach (as opposed to 8/10 with Shanahan), but just as skeptical about everything else, perhaps even moreso in the personnel department. While Shanahan is a proven failure as a personnel guy, there's no book on Cowher, since he's always relied on a good GM to provide him with players. He could have been great having final say, he could have been as bad as Shanahan, or he could have been worse.

We need someone to help improve the offense as well as being a respected coach, which is Shanahan. It seems that if you are getting your facts from Wilbon then you are using other opinions to form this garbage you spew. I wondered why you never made sense, and now it's very clear. please tell me what Cowher would bring that Shanny doesn't, I'll wait until you email Wilbon and get your answer.

I expressed my opinion almost 24 hours before wilbons article. I've already expressed my thoughts on why cowher is superior and there's no need to restate them. You can read them for yourself.

BHA, I've got your back on Cowher. If we were going to get a "big name," he was my preference. His previous teams were more consistently competitive than Shanny's previous squads and that appeals to me. Plus I dreamed of partnering him with Jimmy Raye, who would do Allen's job.

I don't know about the rest. BA, MS, and Snyder have been friends and spoken informally for years. Certainly Snyder, not Allen, chose Shanny weeks ago from the team's point of view. But Shanny also chose us. It was a mutual agreement among friends.

There was a day when such a transition was impossible from Snyder. Even if this transition does not live up to its promise, Snyder FINALLY showed at least some recognition of the right way to do FO things.
