For depressed and desperate Bucs fans who on still clinging onto the slimmest of hopes that Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Cowher will be stalking the Bucs sidelines this fall, Bryan and Joel have a message for you:

In so many words, Bryan and Joel are saying, “Give it up.”

It appears BSPN’s Adam Schefter, via ProFootballTalk.com, reached out to a high-ranking Bucs official and got the following two-word answer to Jason La Canfora’s recent report on NFL.com that the Bucs were still in discussions with Cowher.

“Categorically false.”

Joe would feel more confident if a release was issued where Raheem the Dream’s name was used referring to him as the Bucs coach for 2010, not just a generic, transparent “plan.”
