		<description>@Patricktimothy1, 

A lot of truth in the above, though I can&#039;t speak for the affair rumor. I did hear he didn&#039;t want to draft a QB when Ben came out, but then again, Bill had about as much respect for the position as he did for the hair that clogged his bathroom drain. Think about that one Brownie fans.

The tough-guy Bill image overshadowed the lack of game management skill, and I&#039;d add to that the sphincter-tightening that characterized many a too-early playoff exit. Like his mentor, Bill&#039;s great at building a regular-season winner, and as lousy in the post-season. Why you&#039;d want Son of Marty after seeing the show in its first run is beyond me. But if it makes ya happy, keep on dreamin&#039;. &#039;Cause like I said, I&#039;d love nothing more than to see the Steelers get the benefit of FACING Billy Ball twice a year.</description>

		<description>@Midnight Writer, 

I don&#039;t blame you for a-bustin&#039;. The image I remember of the Purple People Eaters, which they show on ESPN sometimes, is smoke comin&#039; from the mouth in the coldest of winter. A real home advantage too. Those guys were to me the ultimate outdoor warriors. But hey, with a team called the &quot;Vikings&quot; you should be playing inside a cushy warm dome right? Kind of like if the Golden State Warriors started going out and holding flower-power peace rallies.</description>

		<description>@Allen, 

Hate to inform you, but Cowher was born and raised in Pittsburgh. As in before he ever started coaching anywhere. Might want to re-think the whole issue of &quot;who borrowed who&quot; hmmm?</description>

		<description>Hey, Viking fan, welcome to the Midwest!

Yeah, I&#039;ve been to many games at the stadium in December, when the winds swirling off Lake Erie, makes playing football on the frozen grass, a true man&#039;s game.

The weather in Minneapolis can be frigid and icy ... oh, wait! You guys have a dome, right?

Just bustin&#039; your balls, man. Thanks for the support. Browns fans showed up on Sunday with signs calling for &quot;Cowher Power.&quot;

No, Timothy, Cowher isn&#039;t God, but he may be the closest thing to Him to a Browns fan.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a Viking fan, but being close to Cleveland, I see a Cowher move to Cleveland to be the shot in the arm the Browns need.  Coach Cowher is a WINNER, a motivator, and he&#039;ll tell the slackers to go flip burgers if they don&#039;t want to go balls-out to win.</description>

		<description>Be careful what you wish for Cleveland. Cowher isnt God. He is am ego and  megolamaniac. He insists on total autonomy. He is a drafting embicile. His horrible draft picks are legendary. He didnt want Big Ben, he wanted an offensive lineman instead. The other coaches had to almost mutiny to get him to take Ben. He has lost 75% of his passion. I believe he has been on psychiatric meds for the last 3 years, he has really gotten mellow. He is no genious either. He has used timeouts to determine whether to go for one or 2 points, even though the drive took 10 minutes. It cost them a game when they ran out of timeouts late. He is not a thinker. You all remember his passion and screaming, but that is ancient history. His wife calls the shots in the family. If he comes there, its her choice, not his trust me. She spends his money like its going out of style. When he had an affair with his secretary she took the kidfs and went to Florida for 2 months. He had to crawl to get her back. Remember, Pittsburgh and Baltimore wont be impressed with this new coach. The Steelers will play extra hard to beat him. The fans will absolutely boo him for all 4 quarters every game. He was born in Pittsburgh and will be considered a vile traitor. If you think he is your Messiah, think again. He will cost you a mint and produce nothing much more than you are used to.</description>

		<description>Oh, thanks for bringing that to my attention, Jrod.

It is just that we see Cowher so many places in Cleveland, it is hard to remember where we&#039;ve seen him last! CBS, of course!

Wait. Maybe it was the Dairy Queen where he sprayed vanilla ice cream over the patrons.

No, it could have been the Home Depot where he was seen buying paint and rollers for his new home in Strongsville.

I think I saw him stroll out of Cleveland Browns Stadium, past the Science Museum and into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame where he immediately went to the Elvis display.

Bill and Elvis were both spotted at Dunkin&#039; Donuts on Snow Road in Parma.</description>

		<description>MW -- just a small correction: Bill Cowher is currently on CBS, not ESPN.  Cowher actually has a firm grasp of the English language, which precludes him from being a former-coach or former-player analyst at ESPN.</description>

		<description>Rohan,

You bring up a good point with the revenge factor.

And see his face on the other sidelines might give Pittsburgh players and fans a bit nervous. Plus, Cowher would know exactly how to play against the Steelers.

Randy Lerner has the money to burn.

And men who leave jobs to be with their families, soon discover their kids have their own lives.

Cowher also, no doubt would love the power of being a head coach opposed to being just another suit on an espn panel of talking heads.</description>

		<description>Yeah Midnigh Writer, i kinda agree with you.

In essence, what we need is a motivator and he is the guy. Also, Bill looks comfy on TV, i agtee. How much you think he makes? I&#039;d say $200,000. ok how about $300,000. ok, ok, dont jump on me, how about $2 million? 

Browns offered him $9 Million. Plus he will control the franchise. You know he left Pitts because he wanted to be the highest paid coach and they showed him the door out. revenge will be sweet, if he came here. 

and look, i have nt missed a Browns game since they came back - we have nt moved an inch abive the bottom of the barrel since then (ok last year was a exception). 

Bill all the way - is my call. we cant get any worse.
least that if you want me to stay loyal to the bowns (as i have). if they dont make a move i will give all my browns tix etc to goodwill and buy steelers gear. yup, i am sick of being fed bullshit ...time for a lil change (either way). cheers</description>

		<description>I believe you, Rohan.

There have been Cowher citings. No one in the Browns organization has actually denied a move to get Cowher.

Let&#039;s face it: After watching him spit his way through ESPN shows, Cowher does not look comfortable. He does not have the face for television -- but he does have the kind of mug that should get into Braylon Edwards&#039; face and spit a few words of advice to him.

I have no doubt Cowher could get a lucrative deal to coach in Cleveland, but what about the general manager role; coordinators? 

In the Browns only needed a head coach ...</description>

		<description>Hello are you steeler fans stupid?  Cowher came from Cleveland.  Just look at it this way, we let you borrow him for 15 years.  Now we want him back.  And if he comes to Cleveland you better bet the piss striped steelers will go down.  He is the perfect solution for the browns.  Smash mouth big chin whos not affraid of winning.  I dont care what you steeler fans say about it, all I know is that when we beat your ass on the field next year if Cowher is our coach I am going to celebrate and rub it into all the steeler fans that I see.  So if Cowher comes back all I have to say is welcome back coach, welcome back.</description>
