Maybe this has been said in the previous 6 pages of this thread but why would we want to trade a conservative, run oriented coach for another conservative, run oriented coach? If you are unhappy with the state of the team then you're probably a member of the "bombs away" club here on the warpath. I'm not sure what you expect of a Bill Cowher coached team that you're not already seeing? I think that all we would get out of hiring coach Cowher would be a 1-2 year setback while he puts his system, personnel, players in.

All of that said, if Gibbs decides to retire and Cowher is available I would think he would be an excellent choice because of the similarities of their coaching styles. It would most likely make for as seamless of a transition as possible.

Let's not forget the moves that we had the opportunity to make but didn't-Adalius Thomas, Courtney Brown, Simeon Rice, Antonio Bryant, among others.

And yes I realize there are potentially positive moves we didn't make either.

Also in this category - Marcus Washington & Cornelius Griffin rather than Jevon Kearse. Bet the eagles would make that trade in heartbeat.

I can understand the desire to hire a young guy and let him do his thing for the next 10 years. But at the same time you have to consider all qualified candidates regardless of age. If someone with the resume of a Bill Cowher is sitting out there when the Skins are looking for a new head coach, I don't know how you can pass him up simply because he's not a young guy.

I don't get it. What is the appeal of having a young head coach? For every Gruden, there's a Linehan. I think it's alot better to have a proven presence at head coach. It makes it that much easier for the players to respect him and buy into his system. Energy and enthusiasm only get you so far, you've got to have the knowledge and experience to be a great head coach, with a few exceptions.

It's the "grass is greener" mentality. We have to draft like the 90's Cowboys team, have a young coach like Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay, and have an explosive offense like Indy or New England.
