Cowher has no coaching plans
 

Though Bill Cowher will likely be in high demand the next time a coaching job opens up, the Super Bowl winning coach plans to remain with CBS as an analyst for at least this year and 2008, according to a report on [I]USA Today's[/I] Web site.

"We're spending Labor Day weekend at the beach," Cowher said in the report. "I haven't been able to do that since I started coaching. ... This allows football to be a big part of my life but not an all-consuming part."

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

I'm sure he's enjoying his time away from coaching. There's really no need for him to rush back as he's still pretty young.

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

I can't see Cowher staying out more than two seasons.
I know he is enjoying the family stuff, but.......if the truth were being told, he's climbing the walls right now because its the best time of the NFL season with all the un-tested anticipation, and he's on the outside.

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

I can see him coaching the Browns, Cowboys, or Redskins in a couple few years.

I can't really say I understand what the point of this thread was

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

I'd say it's a pretty relevant thread. He's the most sought after coach who's not officially on the market right now.

With Gibbs' contract running out after the 2008 season (coincidence?) he's been mentioned as a possible heir to the head coaching throne in Washington.

I'd put Cleveland near the top of his next plausible locations.

Yeah but I mean isn't this just repeating what he's been saying for weeks, if not months now, that he has no plans to coach at the moment?

I suppose I would have thought it more relevant had he said something like "I plan on being an analyst for one year only and then I fully intend to get back to coaching" or "I've already discussed opportunties with a few NFL teams." Something along those lines.

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. He won't come back til 2009 at the earliest, when Gibbs contract is over. Thing is if we don't get the job done this year, by the time Cowher might come in a lot of the players might bolt, leaving us in a perpetual rebuilding mode, yet again.

The point of this thread is that Yahoo Sports rumor mongers have suggested that Bill "Chinny Chin Chin" Cowher could be the coach of our beloved Skins.

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

Money talks if Gibbs can't get it together this year or get us even close to the Superbowl & Snyder throws big money Cowher's way and you know he still has the passion to coach he will bite. Jordan did Jay-Z did if you have the passion you will go back............... Jay-Z did lol

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

i'd like to see UVA go after cowher.can you imagine how much better the acc would be with cowher in the mix?i'd give him more than he wanted because uva ai'nt gonna ever win with al groh as head coach!

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

It took Cowher 14 years to win a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh. Does anyone really want to wait that long? I don't understand why everyone thinks this guy is the bees knees. He can enjoy his etirement as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

Just because he didn't win a Superbowl for awhile doesn't mean he was a bad coach. The Steelers were almost always in contention during his coaching stint.

I don't see him coming here at all. He is going to want to run a 3-4 and we don't have the personel to run it. Plus he is going to want full control and he is not going to get it here. Clev. would be perfect.

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

I think if we kept Marshall we would have the personnel for a 3-4 defense.

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

You need more than just another LB for the 3-4. What we're lacking for a 3-4 right now is a true nose tackle and two sturdy DEs.

Either way, if Cowher came here and wanted to run the 3-4, he would just need to get his own personnel in here.

True but 10 of those 14 years were playoff appearances. And there is not another coach in the league who can boast that stat. And that is why he will be highy recruited.

Sure he only won one Super Bowl, but playoffs in 10 of 14 ain't bad at all.

Sure, he'd coach the team (Browns) that was his former team's biggest rival and whose fans probably said some nasty stuff about him over the years.


I'd replace Cleveland with Carolina, because didn't he retire to move to NC to be with his family? This would keep him in the same place his family lives.

Carolina's a good possibility. I wouldn't discount Tampa. Although they probably will look for the anti-Gruden next

Re: Cowher has no coaching plans
 

I personally think that Tampa Bay is going to be decent this year. Better than Carolina atleast. IMO if Cowher was going to any team in the near future it would probably be Carolina just noting on how ever since their Super Bowl appearance they have been on a decline.

I don't know. I know it's not exactly foolproof to just look at the schedule. But...looking at the schedule I can easily see the Bucs starting 0-5, 0-6 even.
