The whole cowher thing is a bad idea if you want to win over the next 3 years. It will take him 2 years to get the guys he drafts (for his system) up to speed. Compound that with the fact that it will stunt our offensive chemistry (with a young QB and shaky receiving corps) for at least a year or so til they learn a new system under cowher's guy...i'm assuming saunders wont wanna stay on unless he has control over the offense. On top of that we will be losing a lot of veterans because of an imminent cap nightmare over the next two years.

I think we are in this damned if u do damned if u don't situation with our coaching staff and players. The coaches (Cowher, GW, Saunders) are all dominant egos who want complete control. The players are either too young to change a system and pick it up quickly enuff to win immediately or too old to be able to stick around for a few years while we rebuild.

B/c of all that, GW is the best candidate IF Gibbs steps down which i think he won't. He will stick around for one more year...if we do well then he will move to FO duties and let GW take over or if we do poorly, we will look outside for his replacement.
