But what you don’t know is that GM Bruce Allen has been calling around the league for contingency candidates just in case Mike Shanahan decides to take the money and run somewhere else.” BUFFALO BILLS GAME PLAN : “The Bills have already talked to Bill Cowher. They are hoping that he jumps up there because the options for Cowher are limited. They are going to interview Perry Fewell tomorrow and then they have a really aggressive game plan to fly around the country to interview guys like Sean McDermott from the Eagles and Leslie Frazier from the Vikings. They plan to be aggressive if they can’t get Cowher.” COWHER’S COACHING OPTIONS : “People don’t realize how strong the Kansas City Chiefs pushed for Cowher last year and at times they thought they would get him but at pretty much the 11th hour he said he needed one more year. He wants to coach this coming year. We’ve heard that Tampa Bay has interest but if they go out and hire Cowher, they have to pay him, Raheem Morris, and they have to pay Gruden.” MANGINI’S FUTURE IN CLEVELAND : “New Brown’s president Mike Holmgren is going to Cleveland tomorrow and is expected to meet with Eric Mangini on Tuesday and unless Mangini can sway Holmgren during that meeting, right now the plan is to fire him.” POSSIBLE JACKSONVILLE SALE PUTS DEL RIO’S FUTURE UP IN THE AIR : “Jack Del Rio has not been given any indication by the owner that he will be out.

  • Patriots Coach Returns Home to Inspire Crosby Students
    Patriots coach returns home to inspire Crosby students BY ROGER CLEAVELAND REPUBLICAN-AMERICAN WATERBURY CT. 17 April 2015-041715SV03-Pat Graham, a graduate of Crosby High, is greated by the football team before he spoke to students at the school in Waterbury Friday. Graham is a coach with the New England Patriots and won a Super Bowl ring this year. Steven Valenti Republican-American WATERBURY — Super Bowl champion Patrick Graham was welcomed home by his alma mater, Crosby High, on Friday, but the former Bulldogs quarterback treated the day as anything but a chance to bask in his own personal glory with the New England Patriots. While Graham, 36, graciously accepted adulation from faculty, staff and student-athletes for all he's accomplished in seven years as a Patriots assistant coach, his purpose for being there was to inspire a new generation at Crosby. Speaking for almost an hour, he told more than 100 people that chasing dreams can be exciting, but diligently working to achieve goals is much more fulfilling. That realization started for him in eighth grade at Wallace Middle School. He went through a rebellious stage in which he was trying to impress the wrong crowd, slacking off on his schoolwork and being disrespectful toward teachers. It caused his grades to drop enough that he didn't get accepted into his high school of choice, Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford. One day when he acted up too much in science class, the teacher, Nancy Hayes, called him out in front of the entire class, and he snapped back.
