[Carolina Panthers News]

The Internet is full of rumors about Bill Cowher having a secret handshake agreement to coach the Panthers next season. However, just because Cowher is living in the Raleigh area doesn't mean that is going to happen. Keep in mind owner Jerry Richardson still owes Fox and Hurney a lot of money, and the franchise has had almost all of its success under this tandem. Yes, there was disappointment over last season, but Fox and Hurney can bounce back with a winning season... If they don't, they could be in trouble. Still, don't get carried away with the Cowher speculation. Richardson is smart enough to learn from his mistakes, and the last time he pulled a Super Bowl-winning coach (George Seifert) out of retirement, it ended poorly.

I don't care who coaches the Panthers as long as we have a better season than we did last year. I was so disappointed with them. There was so much hype surrounding them team and then they bite the big one.
