Danny has historically landed big name coaches (Shotty, Spurrier, and Gibbs). That to me suggests that they are trying to get Cowher.

The Rooney Rule definitely affects what owners & GMs say, ever since the lions got fined a couple years back.
There are a few angles to the Danny's words though; he doesn't want to reveal anything until it's final. He's tried to run redskin park this way for years but was more successful w/Gibbs at the helm - few secrets were leaked.
Also, he may want to see if GW gets some offers elsewhere to determine his market value. If GW doesn't get any offers, the Danny will offer him less or give him incentives. Just a guess of course.
PLease, say no to Cowher!
