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.

How would Cowher have made it any different?Cowher is going to be lucky if any team wants him if he doesn't come back soon.

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.

Shanahan is the coach, for better or worse. My issue is with the entire hiring process (which clearly showed Snyder selected the coach, not the GM) and his title - the same one vinny used to have. To me, its very telling that neither Shanahan or Allen have a Team President Title. No matter what is said in press conferences, Snyder is reserving final say for himself and he'll be just as involved as ever.
I haven't seen a single move yet outside of the coaching hire. This isn't exactly a new thing when a team wants somebody; other than Cowher who do you think that we should have looked at?
You don't always need your number 1 want.. I'd think being a Skins fan would've taught you that by now.

I'm pretty sure when Gibbs retired he retained the Team President title but as Matty said titles are irrelevant.
So are you implying that if your favorite, Cowher, was being hired and introduced today that you'd have a different opinion of the 'process'? You're all over the place with your quarrels with the hire. First it was Shananhan was nothing without Elway, then it was his record, now it's the process.
Are you a sommelier because you sure seem to know a lot about whine.
lol great points
