I could see myself being a Cowher fan if he came here...he reminds me of a more experienced, older, probably wiser version of Mangini anyway. I just don't get the big deal about him being a must have...he won't be as hungry as someone like Mangini or Spags (my favorite replacement candidate)....and hunger is a big deal in the sports world.
Yeah, but atleast he would be hungry enough to rip someone a new asshole after they screw up. You think he would put up with shitheads like Coles? or the complete sucking of Bryan Thomas? He's not gonna be standing on the side lines chewing gum with his arms folded and not saying a word..thats for sure.
I liked Cowher as a coach for the Steelers, the biggest difference that I see in him and Mangini is the passion. Cowher was very animated on the sidelines and showed a lot of emotion in the game. I just wish Mangini would at least flinch or blink or something.
Bill Cowher didn't smile and folded his arms too much too. He lacks passion for the game. See how easy it is to make shit up from kind-of truths. Yes, Mangini chews gum and folds in the sidelines...no, that does not mean he doesn't discipline his players. That doesn't even make sense, but it's getting fairly common to read here.
No mistake about it, Mangini is definitely playing for his job this Sunday, lose and most likely you will be shown the door
Forget the whole discipline thing. Lets just get a coach who makes adjustments. I'm sick and tired of watching this team get off to a fast start then fall flat after half time.
http://www.buffalonews.com/opinion/columns/jerrysullivan/story/532538.html compared to bellichick, both sutton and mangini are clueless. going 0-3 against the likes of SF, OAK, and Seattle was reason alone to fire both of them. miami and the pats did more with less.
Huh? Cowher was very passionate, and he did smile. If a player screwed up but made the right play, they'd expect a lecture, he'd give them one and then smile and just pat them on the back. This was caught on tape for Ward during the SB run I believe. Cowher's a great coach. No guarantee he does well here, but you can't knock the guys credentials and resume.
Mangini talks the talk about running great practice sessions, but none of it shows on the field. I'm sure Woody is as tired of this shit as we are.
Huh? Wasn't there a complaint on this site at one point that Mangini was TOO tough on his players? A lap for each penalty...and I don't even know what else but even that's more proof than what's been offered by the "he doesn't discipline" side. Cowher was famous for his no smile thing. I'm not saying he NEVER smiled on the field cause that'd be ignorant as fuck of me to assume that...but it used to be like a game when the Steelers were on TV to check on him once in a while and see if he might be smiling. Thats right...Cowher Smile Watch used to be an actual TV event during NFL games...not officially titled of course...but he was not one known to smile.
Win or go home...just like the Giants did with Coughlin a couple of years ago. If he wins, he gets a one year extension because you do not want to have a "lame duck" situation. Regardless of playoffs or not. Lets see if this team has any faith in Mangini. It's a foregone conclusion that Sutton is gone (like Tim Lewis). And they probably need to make an in house switch on the offensive side of the ball (Callahan or Daboll).
There was another coach by the name of Rich Kotite who I think may be better than Mangini even though he won only three or four games in two years. He was ahead at the start of the fourth quarter in about twenty-two of those games and yet he ended up losing all them. Mangini tanks big time at the start of the second half, at least Kotite could hold the lead into the start of the fourth quarter.
