Re: If Not Joe, Then Who?
Cowher just strikes me as the kind of typical Skins move that would be predestined to fail. The media would be all over us before he walked through the door, the expectations would be unrealistic from the outset, we'd lose a couple close ones and then the wheels would come off. Cue the media-mocking and local talk radio venom. Seen this movie before.
The problem I have with Williams is that in Buffalo, not only was he unsuccessful, but his team ended up quitting on him. He lost them. It's one thing to fail but have players sticking up for you, saying don't blame coach blame us for not making the plays (which is not that unusual on losing teams). That wasn't the case in Buffalo. That being said he seems to be pretty respected in the Skins locker room with the players so who knows.
But I voted for Grimm. That's what we haven't tried yet during the Snyder era, hiring an up and coming coordinator who is hungry and innovative and ready to put in the work. Grimm makes the most sense because of his ties to the organization but there's a lot of starving coordinators out there we could take a look at.
