CribbsWalker Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4773962 Sources: Bucs may make run at Cowher Comment Email Print Share By Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen ESPN After turning down chances to return to the NFL in previous offseason, former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher is primed to get back in the game this offseason. Those who know Cowher firmly believe that he plans to coach in 2010, according to two league sources. He is laying the groundwork, making calls to piece together a coaching staff and acting like a man who will be patrolling the sidelines once again next season. Many around the league have expected Cowher's name to surface in connection to the Carolina job, and it might. But others also believe that a more likely landing spot might be the Panthers' division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Over the past year, Tampa Bay has undergone more changes than any NFL team. More are coming. At the very least, their associate head coach/special teams coach Rich Bisaccia is on his way to join the University of Tennessee coaching staff. Defensive line coach Robert Nunn and defensive backs coach Joe Baker were part of the Jim Bates package, and will not return. And now there is an increasing sentiment with the Buccaneers organization that head coach Raheem Morris will be one and done. Two weeks ago, CBS announcer Rich Gannon criticized the way Buccaneers practices are run, the latest example of the job being too big for Morris right now. If the Buccaneers decide to part ways with Morris as well, then multiple people around the league think Tampa Bay will wind up making a run at Cowher. League sources labeled as erroneous any speculation the Glazer family which owns the Bucs may be too financially strapped to pursue Cowher. One source added that Joel Glazer, one of the team's owners, recently has expressed strong admiration for Cowher to other owners. Additionally, those who know the Glazer family noted that they are always prepared to do the dramatic, citing the firing of Tony Dungy and the acquisition of then-Raiders coach Jon Gruden, Dungy's successor, in which the Bucs sent multiple draft picks, including two first rounders, and $8 million cash to Oakland.

Spunkonmyback DPOY Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 the bucs can have him. that man has wasted so much talent while he was in pittsburgh, he should of had 4 super bowl trophies. he sucks and needs the twelth man to win a super bowl (the twelth man wears zebra stripes.) It isn't like ACTUAL proof exists that Cowher was cheated out of two AFC Championship games...... EDIT: Ironic how the very next play in the Steelers games Holmes is held and pushed to the ground but the refs don't flag it so the Ravens get a pick on that play solely becuase the refs had a major screw up. Oh the irony. EDIT: Mason has possession takes 3 full steps then fumbles.....Oops the ref blows the whistle and makes this obvious fumble an unchallengeable play. Blown play. Steelers again screwed..... Truth is most often the best irony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyd900rr Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Why is it that when a Browns fan says the refs are in pissburgh's back pockets you go on the defensive and call us names but yet you think it's ok for you to sit there and claim the refs were against the squeelers in todays game? Isnt that like having your cake and eating it to? Guess what? You know that team called the Browns? Sure you do, your on a Browns messege board. Well today while you were watching the squeelers play the Ravens, the Browns won another game so I dont think anyone cares about your complaints with refs.

Well today while you were watching the squeelers play the Ravens, the Browns won another game so I dont think anyone cares about your complaints with refs. I didn't name call, I never do. I didn't get defensive. I just used fact to disprove a crazy conspiracy thoery. (a claim someone on here tries to make after every Steeler game) I did not think the refs tried to sway the game either way today with the calls they made. I am simply pointing out facts that prove the refs don't favor the Steelers. Take note that I didn't state the facts in attempt to accuse the refs of being biased. I wouldn't have brought up anything from the Steeler game if another member of this board didn't do so first. I am not trying to make a big deal, just trying to quiet to one guy's conspiracy theory. No brown fan on hear can comment on the Steeler game refs as they were watching the Browns game. Same with Steeler fans and the Browns game refs.

BrownIndian Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm just happy that Baltimore lost. I understand the hatred that comes with rivalry. But the hatred that comes with backstabbing has no parallels. Screw you Art! I would rather the Steelers go to playoffs than the ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownIndian Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Let cow-hero take over for Rahim Morris, And when he does screw Tampa (which i think he will) will the Steelers realize the truth about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkonmyback DPOY Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 cowher cant run a team without the roonies and he cant win the big one without help from bad referees so get over it, it is the truth. just look at the past 2 games and how they were handed wins, only in an attempt to get them a playoff birth. if you wear the piss color all you need is a gambling ref and a few great players from ohio. put your money on the steelers getting a playoff birth and good teams going down early in the playoffs so the steelers get another home playoff game. put your money on it!!!!!!!!! so all you steelers bitches just shut up and watch the next few weeks, because i am sure you will be on here pounding your chest like you found a new way to slice bread in the nfl or some other stupid claim. I take it you didn't read my original response to your first post on this thread. Although I think you are pruposely avoid the facts and just trying to be assinine.

Riffer X Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 When will Cowher be held accountable for all the roid abuse and blatant cheating he perpetuated in Pittsburgh? Perfect example of a decent guy while here in Cleveland and the second he got Rooneyized he became a pile of crap morally. He disgusts me, I want no part of that guy ever.

Spunkonmyback DPOY Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 put your money on it Steeler fans rarely bet on game as it believed to bring bad luck.(See my avatar)Plus I never really talked about this yearsSteeler going to the Super Bowl. I simply pointed out afew obvious facts that disproved one of your dumb conspiracies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'd think that if Bill Cowher were as big a part of the Squeelers success as people think, that they'd have tanked when he left. Nope. Same with Phil Savage. The Shitbirds fall apart without him? Pats without Crennel? WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think you mean (you wrote it backwards like the hillbilly you are), it's as ugly as your mom's face, who is a dude. And I know that makes your wife (I mean your cousin) jealous because of your "close" relationship with your mom. Now the thought of THAT makes YOU bitter, as it should.
