Fans will rent billboard asking Bills to hire Cowher as coach

NFL.com Wire Reports
Bring on Bill Cowher.

With the Bills in the midst of a coaching search, that's the message fans intend to send team owner Ralph Wilson on a billboard to be displayed in Buffalo.


Organizer Patrick Moran said Thursday that an Internet campaign has raised more than the $1,125 needed to rent an electronic billboard for a week, starting Monday. It would feature the words, "Dear Mr. Wilson, we want this guy," superimposed over a picture of Cowher, who won a Super Bowl as the Pittsburgh Steelers' coach.

Moran also helped organize a campaign in November, when a billboard was rented demanding that Wilson clean house.

The Bills haven't commented on their coaching search since firing Dick Jauron in November, but Cowher has been widely mentioned as a candidate.

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reported that the Bills reached out to Cowher more than a month ago. But Cowher didn't want to talk to the Bills during the season.

Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was scheduled to interview with the Bills on Thursday.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
