Its high time the Falcons restored order to the franchise.  Its gotta start from the top, and the best way to put a stranglehold on this debacle is to hire someone with a stellar reputation as a head coach IN THE NFL.  I hate to beat a dead horse, and since I've been begging for Cowher since mid-season, I'm sure you guys knew where I was going with this, but humor me for a minute.

Cowher is 100% what this team needs.  The minute he walks in that door HE COMMANDS respect from every single person involved with the falcons franchise.  He is a proven winner who has shown that he can adapt to the circumstances that present themselves.  He is both a players coach and a disciplinarian.  HE WOULD IMMEDIATELY BECOME THE FACE OF THE FRANCHISE.  No matter what big free agent the team signed, they would not over shadow Cowher (tom brady and peyton manning excluded).  

I strongly beleive Cowhers presence and influence would help to quickly turn this team around.  I beleive the veterans who had such problems with Petrino would be ecstatic to see a proven winner with an NFL resume on board.  I also beleive that his longevity (he ain't jumping ship after 13 games, or 3 years) would allow Rich McKay to do a far better job at identifying and signing/drafting (I really can't knock McKay, our drafts have been good under his watch) the players Cowher would need to turn this team into a perenial super bowl contender.  

I wish there was some way we could force Blank and Cowher into a room together, with a contract that has 3 lines on it, the amount of money, the # of years, and a place for cowher and blank to sign.

After all we've endured this past year, we deserve a head coach and a breath of fresh air.
