I wouldn’t mind seeing him take over for JoePa.

I doubt Cowher goes to Dallas unless he gets a GM role or isnt pressured by Jerry Jones, in other words, Jerry would have to do what Snyder is doing (now) for Shanahan for Cowher to go there, i think Dallas (if they fire Wade) look for a younger coach.

Need some feedback…Do the Steelers get compensation from the team that signs Cowher?
Cowher had one year left on his contract when he left the Steelers so does that mean that the Steelers still own his rights similar to a retired player since he did not get released?
If so, what compensation would a team need need to give the Steelers to get them to release Cowher from his contract?

Nobody in there right mind would take a coaching position with Dallas. Jerry Jones is the worst owner of all NFL teams. Im sure Bill Cowher would give the Giants a try if he does come back to coaching. As a steeler fan for 40 yrs I would love to see him back there. Then again Penn State would be just as good

As a cowboy fan for 47 years, I personally dont want crybaby Cowher as the Cowboys coach . 1 championship (with the help of refs) in 15 years.
He coached for the Looney family and coached the worst rapist in NFL history.( Rapistburger) Dallas doesn’t need this as#hole of a human being to coach them. He is strictly a JERK!!! Karma is coming back to haunt him

i see Cowher being a Carolina head coach for many reasons. One, The Panthers have a running game that Cowher likes and two, the defense in Carolina has the people that he can make into a 3-4 defense. As good as the Giants are with their pass rushers, they pass rush is best for a 4-3. i think John Fox could get a look in New York or Leslie Frazer.

Think he wants an NFC team, but would never want to be under Jones’s control. The Maras are close to the Rooneys and the closest fit to them in temperament. But they’re a bit looser with the purse strings. Talentwise, the Giants are similar to the Steelers, and they also have a similar football philosophy. Think it would be a good fit for him, and I’d like to see what he could do there.
Interesting that he picked the Giants as his sleeper team to suprise and go far this year. Maybe he didn’t want to look like the vulture circling Coughlin, so he did a little cheering instead

He’s replacing Joe Paterno after this season.

GRID says: It’s all about players baby. Sorry, you’re dead wrong. If it were all about players the Cowboys would have been to the Super Bowl last year. The Packers never would have won championship’s in the ’60s. Great coaches make great teams. Great coaches draft top prospects. Great coaches hire great assistants. Great coaches will not tolerate people like Favre. Great coaches wouldn’t take jobs where owners give all the orders. Great coaches are at the top of their game on game day during a game. Great coaches help fill stadiums. Great teams have great players, because of great coaches. No NFL players become great without a great coach somewhere along the line.

All they talk about on sports radio in Dallas is Bill Cowher.
Media there think they’re getting him.

Here’s an off the menu thought. Cower to Penn State replacing Paterno. It is rumored he has visited several times and interestingly that is where he is speaking.
Go State!!!

I can’t stop laughing at all the comments about Cowher coaching the Cowboys.
Understand this. Cowher will demand and receive total control wherever he goes. Jerry Jones will never give total control to anyone, he needs a puppet that will do what he says.
He has ties to New York and North Carolina so look for them to be the front runners if the Giants and Panthers jobs are open.

Carolina or Tampa Bay. Fox’s leash is getting shorter every day and Raheem Morris may be a good defensive coach but the way he handles his business as a head coach looks like a HS cheerleader is making the calls.

I’d love to see him take over Marvin Lewis’ job. I know, I know Lewis won coach of the year and odds of that happening are probably less than 0.5%, but Marvin is in his last year. Sometimes I just don’t think Lewis has enough to take us to that next level. We’ve yet to win a playoff game in his what 8 year tenure? With all the talent we’ve had, some of that has to fall on the coaches.

He lives in Raleigh.. about 2 hrs from Charlotte, and a makeable commute… Cowher will take over the Panthers… and personally, I think the deal is already in place.. it’s why the Panthers never approached Fox about any kind of extension….

I’m with Peester15. I always assumed that the family move to North Carolina was a holding position, waiting for Fox to be let go from the Panthers. Fox has been very non-productive with that franchise. I’d still bet that you will hear that Fox is let go at the end of the season, maybe sooner, and Cowher is replacing him.
I think Cowher has too much class to take a Dallas job with that freak of an owner. Jerry just wants a puppet and he wants to pull all of the strings. Cowher wouldn’t adapt to Jerry’s style of ownership. Especially after working for the Rooney’s who let the coaches do their jobs.
I also think Chicago and Minnesota would be out because of the climate.
Wherever he goes, if he goes, I think he’ll be successful and the city of the team will welcome him. I hated to see him leave the Steelers.

“Carolina and NYG are probably good guesses but here’s a guy who could have easily had a job the last few season if he wanted it (CLE, etc). ”
C.Bass, he wants a head coaching job with an NFL team, not a UFL team with a fan base with a collective I.Q. of 22!

He would be better off replacing LeBeau if the man ever retires from his Steeler defensive coordinator post. He could stay in the Steeler family, be the highest paid coordinator in the league, and allow his defensive innovations to run wild for a team, players, and a city that really appreciates their defensive coaches. It’s a sure-fire Hall of Fame game plan (just ask LeBeau).
Nearly any other job he takes will be filled with ridiculously high expectations and pressure – especially in New York or Dallas.

He’s a good coach but take off the rose tinted glasses a bit and remember the numerous losses in AFC championship games. It took Dick LeBeau and a franchise quarterback to put up a Superbowl victory.
————————–
Couldn’t agree more. Most remarkable about Cowher’s career was his confusing dedication to ‘Slash’ Stewart. That was a tough stretch to be a Stiller fan. I also admit I’m biased after seeing him sounding the horn in Raleigh in the playoffs against the Pens.

@tom
Giants fans barely came out to see their home opener in a new stadium. So probably not.
My theory is:
Giants fans are some of the oldest fans in the NFL and every year there are less of them.
@mmartian
Are you an idiot? Its week 3, nobody wins championships 3 weeks into the season. Rex took his team to 30 min of a Super Bowl in his 1st year….but yea…he sucks because he’s fat. Since you’re probably a dolphin fan…I take it as a good sign that you want Rex gone

Cower will wind up running the show for the Giants…a MUCH better fit for him.

People who say stupid things like “No self-respecting coach would work for Jerry Jones” and otherwise imply such a dim-witted concept are also stupid enough to forget a fellow named Bill Parcels.

Dallas? Don’t think so – BC would stomp Jerry Jones into the dust – he simply would not tolerate that kind, or any kind, of interference. Which is why he would never go to Dallas.
But whoever gets him will get a shot of nonstop, supercharged adrenaline -
