If we are at all serious about making a run at this guy (not saying we should or shouldn't) we should definitely talk to him while he is in town.
Could someone who is a bigger player have a breakfast / lunch meeting with him without PB knowing ? Just curious.

I think PB sees the writing on the wall. So it doesn't matter if he knows or not.

Maybe Stallion could dine with him at Denny's and diagram the 'model' on a kid's menu.

Good point.
Again if we at all are thinking about him, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a visit with him while he is here.

The keeper of the star would make Bowden pick up the check. Cheap....

The saints in football heaven have given us some access to a winning coach at a pivotal time. I don't know why Bowden would consider SMU, but light more candles to make it happen.

Absolutely. Think of how much press coverage we would receive across the country. The Bowden family is coaching royalty. Even the DMN might take notice.
Orsini would certainly be able to save a little bit on his marketing campaign with the free publicity. Of course the new coach would be the centerpiece of that marketing.
I know, I know. Before anyone starts typing, nothing has heppened with this and nothing may ever. But a Bowden type coach makes sense on a variety of levels that have been discussed here ad nauseum.
At this juncture, I'm just looking for any reason to get excited.

Actually, wouldn't Steve-O have to ADD to the marketing campaign? I thought someone said all of the deals that Richard Sweet signed were three-year deals. I don't know if the content can be changed or not  I assume it can  but I would think that if a coach like Terry Bowden arrived, his face would be splashed everywhere.
