However, something public within 72 hours this time of year would have to mean a major coaching/front office change.

Gibbs for team president, parcels for gm, and Cowher for head coach? Lol

BHA:

Sorry...

The source(s) would not be safe.

By the way, I have heard exactly none of your "suggestions" on the rumor-wire at the moment.

But if you stay tuned, one or all of those rumors might come up sometime soon since there are some folks out there who are POSITIVE that Danny Boy has been in the shadows for too long and will have to do something shocking to get himself some camera time. [NOTE: I do NOT believe those folks have any basis for their rumors other than hitsory from 3 years ago - - but some folks are CERTAIN he is about to do something drastic...]

The reason I suggested "72 hours" is that the NFL really leans on owners and teams not to do anything BIG during the week that leads up to the Super Bowl. The league does not want "distractions" in the week leading up to THE GAME any more than coaches want "distractions" in the locker room.

Ergo, even if some kind of big news item is finalized sometime next week, the probability is that there will be a lid on it until sometime after the Super Bowl game buzz has died down.
