idk if this will be locked or not... but the thread will not be received warmly

11/27/2006 6:22:44 PM

are Raleigh area schools that good, or is it the real estate and/or lifestyle that comfortable?

there are plenty of places where he can go an unwind - especially where he won't constantly be hounded about our coaching job.

i mean, he must really like it in raleigh.

11/27/2006 6:23:13 PM

or his family is down here

11/27/2006 6:25:55 PM

someone make a bill cowher alias

11/27/2006 6:32:17 PM

is the entire Cowher clan here? or did the kids just love Ravenscroft?

a house at the beach might be a better place to unwind than a place full of rabid wolves begging you to be their leader.

i don't know all the details of why he moved here either...

11/27/2006 6:32:32 PM

i think he only has one girl at ravenscroft....and i am an alum, and nobody likes ravenscroft that much

raleigh is always top 10 for places to live (outside of major metro areas) and has access to beach/mountains, etc. and he went to state, and they are both from raleigh. i am sure with his cash that cowher has a vacation house or two, but sometimes you just want a community to settle into

11/27/2006 6:36:19 PM

rtp is in the top 5 places in the country to live

11/27/2006 6:39:31 PM

sorry, it is not goin to be Cowher, we need a offensive minded coach, and he isnt, we need Chow, so what he is 60, he is the best offensive mind available that might actually want to come here.

11/27/2006 6:40:47 PM

JT3bucky has made many successful threads many months before it happens.

11/27/2006 6:44:05 PM

listen, if we get cowher, and we cant get a good OC, we fucked up royally

Cowher owns a house on Bald Head Island. My brother's wife works for their advertising firm.

Bill Cowher

11/27/2006 6:48:13 PM

I think he may one day become NCState's head coach, just not this year. Maybe once he gets bored of the beach and playing with his kids and being home all day with the wife. Until then, we'll have an interim coach who will do no worse than what Chuck Amato did this year.

11/27/2006 6:51:19 PM

Cowher aint comming

11/27/2006 7:56:46 PM

his youngest kid is almost out of high school, he is past the playing with kids days

cowher is gonna make it official...








He is laughing at NCSU

11/27/2006 10:43:42 PM

damn, and raleigh sheds a tear

11/27/2006 10:46:59 PM

anyone who thought he was actually coming here was delusional

11/27/2006 10:48:34 PM

he's DEF NOT COMING HERE TO COACH..just to relax in his mansion

according to every sports anchor

o no, a blog says no

how about in about a month when the steeler's season is over?

11/27/2006 10:55:30 PM

^ id buy that game!!

11/27/2006 10:56:44 PM

a "future" with NC State could mean a big ass donation with his name on something.. Or buying a suite to watch the home games during his retirement.. Maybe he wants to be the AD... It could mean anything really...

11/27/2006 10:57:35 PM

maybe even Volleyball coach...i hear we need a good one

11/27/2006 11:00:19 PM

if he really does want to coach here eventually, which to my understanding he has said very publicly, now is his chance. possibly his last, if you think about it. (possibly not his last too, before anyone tells me i'm an idiot)

11/27/2006 11:02:29 PM

This is not official people remember that...

Cowher is still in the mix until I see a LEGIT article saying that he said NO...

heck, espn was saying that he may come, some say that he may not

Until he says no, he's still in the game...

11/27/2006 11:11:24 PM

agree

11/27/2006 11:27:50 PM

Ok so how about this..

Lets say Cowher would've said.. Give me 2 or 3 years and I'll come back to coach. Would you guys want Amato to stay till then?


Because I can't help but think that if Cowher WERE serious this is pretty much his guaranteed shot..It's similar to when unc-ch first asked Roy(unc-ch was his dream job) and he turned them down. If Doh wouldve gone on to be an awesome coach Roy would've never gotten a second chance... Whos to say if we dont get Cowher this time we end up with a very successfull coach who would be here 20 years...

i'm more concerned about getting a mediocre coach and cowher not wanting to force him out in 5 years. if we get a great coach and it happens to not be cowher.. i'd be ok with it.

but like i said, if he really does want to coach here, this could possibly be his last chance.

[Edited on November 28, 2006 at 12:09 AM. Reason : possibly]

11/28/2006 12:08:50 AM

yeah I was just trying to make a point with the whole 20 year thing... I just think if he wants to coach but not this year then why not tell State that so they can just hang on to Chuck for 2 more years...

11/28/2006 12:11:51 AM

Uhhh

Because two years of 1-11 would guarantee that the WFC would default on a lot of loans.

11/28/2006 12:18:07 AM

Nice link by WRAL's Dave Glenn regarding Bill Cowher and State so far

11/28/2006 1:10:14 AM

the assistant AD and cowher are good friends from their college days. horning and cowher.

11/28/2006 1:12:09 AM

not this year....

11/28/2006 8:21:23 AM

although Cowher would def. be my first choice, I'd be very happy with Chow or Donnan.

11/28/2006 8:28:39 AM

Not this year


620 reporting that he'll address the coaching search today in his presser. This would be a 'No', sadly

11/28/2006 8:34:30 AM

damn, oh well

11/28/2006 8:36:37 AM

Don't want to ruin it entirely... that's just what they're reporting.

If he does address it, it will be a no. Maybe they don't know what they're talking about, but that's odd to make something like that up

11/28/2006 8:38:13 AM

damn, oh well

11/28/2006 8:51:13 AM

We can't afford him. NCSU needs to focus on other possible coach's before we have a basketball repeat. Get a good coach and be happy Sometimes if you shoot for the stars you just end up falling alot more than if you had shot for the sky.

11/28/2006 9:00:18 AM

what time is Cowher's press conference?

11/28/2006 9:00:43 AM

12 noon. Carried live on FSN-Pittsburgh for anyone who gets that channel

11/28/2006 9:01:46 AM

^^^ i'm sure that that consultant they hired is already focused on more realistic candidates...
