Former Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Cowher tells us he’s comfortable right where he’s at.
It’s starting to become legend much like the Loch Ness Monster is. Some people know it exists, and they’ve seen it, but it’s been so long that they can’t exactly remember it.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher is now taking that shape.
We know we’ve seen the Super Bowl winning coach on an NFL sideline before. We know he’s had major success. We also felt that once he accepted that cushy CBS job back in 2007 he’d eventually come back to the sidelines to recapture glory with another franchise.
Perhaps we should all let it go, because the idea of Cowher coming back to coach is becoming greater legend than that of the aforementioned Loch Ness Monster.
Cowher recently said this via ESPN:
“It was great this year to be on the sidelines for the some of the Thursday games (for CBS) and get to be up close to it,” he told SiriusXM NFL Radio. “You see the officials, you see some of the assistant coaches … it does get your blood going. But no, I’m in a really good place. I really enjoy my job at CBS. I’m enjoying all the involvement with that and the Thursday football.”
“It’s good. I’m in a good place. You’re not going to see me on the sidelines. I enjoy it, I miss it, but not enough to get back.”
The one organization Cowher’s always been linked to has been the New York Football Giants. He naturally fits their organizational values and their throwback style, and the transition of going from Tom Couglin to Cowher would be a seamless one. Even Jerome Bettis, who played for Cowher in Pittsburgh, has hinted that the Giants would be his destination if he did return.
The Cowher talk has become a broken record through for each of the last six or seven years. Teams with coaching vacancies and the media bring up his name only to have it shot down by the horse’s mouth himself.
The most recent rumor as a destination for Cowher was that of the Buffalo Bills due to Doug Marrone’s abrupt departure. They, like every other team in the league, can now cross the Cowher name off their list now.
Buffalo has requested interviews with offensive coordinators Darrell Bevel, Adam Gase, Josh McDaniels, and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
