OTH Woody could have contacted Cowher & said look I am out of the country but I will be back on the 5th & w will tal then OK? Remember Cowher said he was NEVER contated by Tanny or Woody
he wanted a sitdown. other owners have drove, not flown, drove to meet coaches of lesser stature or have spent multiple days in one city during the holiday season to interview more than one coordinator, not a great coach like Cowher. Its about respect, not ego.
dude fuck cowher AND fuck woody. Fuck tanny too. i have a funny feeling tanny made sure to not give woody the message. not good when someone in the organization is more concerned with themselves than the team
Can you imagine if he were the general manager and not the owner, and he used the excuse that he was "out of the country and unavailable"?! That's obscene! This is the surest sign that Woody treats this team as a nice little hobby and not as a true business. There ARE phones everywhere in the world, and if you believe Gary Myers, he was certainly using his. This was disturbing.
The real point is not that Cowher wouldn't wait for Woody, the bigger point is why the hell would Woody not cut his vacation short to meet with Cowher. Getting a tan is obviously more important than securing the future of your investment.
Oh look, Sean Penn just married a retard. It's about the only thing that can be added to this ongoing pile of saga.
Do we know for sure it was a vacation? It could have been a business trip, you know Woody does run a business other than the Jets. Cowher is too big for his britches, F him.
The theory bantered about is Tanny wants someone he can "control" not somebody like Cowher who could undermind him which is why Shotty Jr is the leader since the way Tanny sees it he can be kept in check & not be threat to Tanny. Florio from PFW just espoused that on the Fan
I tend to belive the Jets instincts here. Consider. This is at least the fourth leaked reason for Cowher not wanting to come to NY. (Favre,Control,Hiatus,No Woody in his ear).... If you have a shot at 10 mil Per, and a chance to be in NY, near two of your Children, does not wanting to wait a WEEK, for the owner to be stateside ring a little hollow?
Remaining a Jets fan is becoming more difficult every day. Especially with the Giants in the same space. Now, it's not just that they never win but everything they do is an embarrassment that you find yourself trying to defens as peole throw it in your face. What a disgrace.
Actually, not. This was what was first reported. He wanted to meet with Woody and was told he could not.
The Jets announced that they would do 'whatever it takes' to get Bill Cowher, and then the owner wouldn't even meet with him. Total crap. Sell the team, Woody. And take Tannenbaum with you.
Right so if Cowher wanted face to face then they could have done that over the phone? If Cowher wanted to coach the Jets so bad he could have waited a darn week, sorry, thats my take on it.
You could make the argument that if Cowher was so "iffy" on coaching then, maybe it's for the best that we didn't hire him.
