Bill Bidwill likes him.

Matt likes him.

Graves likes his Chicago connection in Rivera, but Graves is a party guy.

Chow gets named HC within the next 48 hours.

Consider me a Chowderhead.

Have we interviewed a minority candidate, yet? Does Rivera count?

Looks like we had something scheduled with Caldwell, but maybe I just missed the recap?

We haven't heard from the critical precinct yet. Is Anquan ok with him?

Chow is Chinese he IS a minority candidate.

I wonder if he tells the players to call him Coach and not Mr. Chow.

:D

I don't think this is an easy decision.

Rivera will be a more popular choice. He also fits the mold of the type that has been successful lately.....Payton, Mangini, Mora Jr. (well, in year one), Nolan, Lewis, etc. Young, hungry, relates well to the players.

Sherman is a more "proven" commodity. Not a sexy hire, but maybe the safest. Not a lot of "yee-has", but not a lot of "oh nos" either.

Chow will have a LOT of doubters. Even within the team. Yes, Wilson and Leinart will help a lot. But, it will take more than their words to get their full confidence. Still think he's a boom or bust choice. I don't see them stringing a bunch of mediocre seasons together with him at the helm. It'll either be horrendous or stupendous IMO. Hiring Chow will take guts, because the slings and barbs will come.

IMO, After Edges comments about doing right by Matt, if Matt is happy I think Edge will be happy as well and from there every other player will follow. At least for the first season that is.

He will also have to make good assistant hires and run the team like he knows what he's doing. I don't think there will be an outright revolt like Green had. But, if they don't buy in 100% to what he's selling he's got an uphill battle. Edge, Wilson and Leinart are a great start for him, but he has to seal the deal by his performance.

Chow has Wilson on defense and Matt/Duece on Offense in his corner.

Matt sways Edge, the entire offense is swayed (boldin will likely be on board as well because Chow will use him perfectly).

Wilson will have huge pull...get Dockett on board and the Defense comes along too. With Chow's comments on the CBs, they are probably nodding their heads as well.
