    Francessa brought it up saying he's hearing a lot of buzz about it.

    Cowher had a great run in Pittsburgh, but I would rather have Rex back. Whats the point of firing Rex and hiring a guy with the same philosophy, defense and running the ball

    The biggest advantage is the leadership and air of professionalism that Cowher brings to the Jets organization, something it desperately needs right now. I tend to think he would flop here, but whatever I would take him over Rex.

    Executive Vice President of Football Operations? Or Head Coach?

    I know we wouldn't be clowns anymore thats for sure. However I think he wants the Giants gig since they have a QB and are less of a joke. Though, fixing our mess could be great for his legacy not that he needs it

    EVPFO might work. Cowher watched the Rooneys for 15 seasons. He understands the Steeler methods and if he brought those to the Jets in an off-the-field capacity we might see something really good come out of it.

    It'd be nice to have a front office that looked two years down the road and drafted to fill the holes coming up instead of desperately patching the ones from last year. That'd include the "year too early instead of a year too late" rhythm that's seen the Steelers talent base stay remarkably bouyant over the years.

    The other thing of course is that the Jets really need some LB's right now and I don't think there's anybody I'd trust more to go find some LB's than Cowher.

    exactly, no more patch work, no more 3 or 4 player drafts, deep drafts, good cap management and putting players in the right situation to succeed

    Cowher runs the football operations
    Rex runs the defense and is the mouthpiece(who should never talk)
    Get an offensive guru to run the O

    and move forward

    It didn't work in Cleveland with Holmgren and it won't work in New York, at the end of the day you can't "co-manage" stuff, the buck stops with someone, someone needs to be the leader. Holmgren coming in left Mangini a lame duck with no chance, same would happen to Rex it would just be a really awkward year, either stick with Rex or look elsewhere.

    Are these tweets only coming out because Craig Carton brought this idea forward this morning on WFAN? I doubt Cowher would give up his gig at CBS just to be a front office guy, he is a coach at heart, but as a coach he would want the gm duties as well, and I would gladly give them to him, but I doubt Woody will.

    I like this line of thinking and I'll add to it that he probably has a lot of people within that organization that he can run things by if he's unsure of how to handle a specific situation.

    The Giants job isn't available. There was talk about him waiting for it a few years ago, but if he wants back in he's not going to wait forever. Eli Manning isn't going to be elite (if he even is now) forever either.

    That said, I don't think there's any chance he comes to the Jets.

    Cowher isn't Holmgren and he'd be the head honcho but Rex would still be the HC and would likely learn a thing or 2 about managing his team from Cowher. Cowher can handle the draft, freen agency and personnel decisions along with helping Rex and co with whatever they need to happen.

    Holmgren went to Cleveland, when's the last time anything worked for them.

    Not unless Rex is fired. If they work together, it brings more drama, like the Tebow circus, only we would be barraged with anonymous sources wanting Cowher to take over at HC after the first loss.

    About the last time it worked for the Jets...

    If we're going to hire Cowher to essentially be a co-leader and teach Rex how to coach why bother keeping Rex at all? All it does is confuse people and make Rex look neutered to his team, same way it did Mangini. There isn't one person who read about Holmgren going to the Browns who thought "this is a good thing for Mangini".

    Instead of a QB controversy we have a coaching controversy, can't we just be a normal fucking team for one season?
