Gothamite Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I am 99% sure Bill Cowher will never come back. I am 100% certain that Tony Dungy is gone for good.Cowher was going to interview for the Jets job until he learned that the owner was on vacation in Europe and wouldn't take part in the interviews. Told him all he needed to know about the organization, and he cancelled the meeting. But if he was considering the Jets, I'd say that it's a near-lock he'll make a move back at some point.He has his ring and the legacy of being the man behind Peyton Manning. I'd say if that doesn't put him in Canton down the road, then what were they thinking?I don't think Mike Holmgren is worthy of the Hall of Fame either, and he actually had a lot to do with making Favre a great player. When Dungy came to Indianapolis, Manning was already a great veteran talent with awards, records and Pro Bowl selections under his belt. I don't see how Dungy gets any special credit for what he's accomplished. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungy is a lock for the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throwback Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 We'll miss ya Tony. I have full confidence in Jim Caldwell, he learned under one of the best of his time and one of the better coaches ever to roam the sidelines on Sundays. ~?~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
