Cowher eyes three teams and none are from Charlotte

As Bill Cowher nears the fourth anniversary of his resignation from the Steelers, Chris Mortensen of ESPN has linked Cowher to a trio of teams.

Cowher’s wish list, per Mort, consists of the Dolphins, Texans, and Giants.

Former Steelers running back Jerome Bettis previously linked Cowher to the Giants job, and since Bettis knew that Cowher would call it quits after the 2006 season before the 2006 season even started, we’ve deferred to the Bus in this regard. The problem, of course, is that the Giants remain solidly in contention for a playoff berth, which would most likely ensure Tom Coughlin’s return for 2011.

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has been pushing the Cowher-to-Houston notion for a while. It all depends on whether coach Gary Kubiak gets fired. Earlier this week, owner Bob McNair didn’t sound like a guy who was thinking about making a change.

The Dolphins could be the most intriguing possibility. With Bill Parcells gone, owner Stephen Ross could clean out coach Tony Sparano and G.M. Jeff Ireland and hand the keys to Cowher, whose first order of business would be to try to lure Kevin Colbert and/or Omar Khan from the Pittsburhg front office.

I say GOOD

I say, Russ Grimm is not enough for me to renew my PSLs, not nearly enough, not even close. I suspect many other PSL holders feel the same way.

If JR wants people back in the stadium, Russ Grimm isn't going to do it.

Cowher is smart enough to bring in great assistants, one of which could replace him when he gets sick of it again.

As much as I want it, I doubt it will happen as long as Hurney is in the picture. He is just as responsible for the 3 winning seasons in 10 years as Fox is, not that anything ever gets really leveled at him in the media. Fox and the QB are more visible and easier targets.

The Chin comes with total control... And although I feel we need a change from top to bottom, I doubt Hurney is out of a job.

The funny thing is we still haven't heard of him signingan extension from when his contract was up...maybe he's been like Stephen Root's character in office space this whole year...

Like Jarrett. They found out they cut him after his first season but no one told him so he just kept getting paid :D

Grand prize winner! I think Jerry Richardson is acutely aware that he's going to have to make a splash with a coach signing to get the fans back in the building.

He cannot afford to wait and see what happens with the CBA/lockout, the free agency period, the draft, etc.

He cannot afford to sit back and let this season fester like an open wound on the fans. He needs to act, act soon and act decisively with a big-name hire. Otherwise we're likely to see a large number of PSLs become available on the open market.

Don't blame Cowher a bit. If he decides to go back into coaching, I seriously doubt he wants to be involved in a rebuilding situation. The Giants and Texans are both in good shape to be immediately competitive with established QB's.

As far as him coming here, I wouldn't be very enthused about him. He got lucky once picking Ben R, no guarantee it would happen here.

guessing is guessing, I'll wait until an announcement is made.

Of course, this is just more speculation.

I seriously doubt NY would fire GM Jerry Reese so Cowher could have his job and be the HC as well. Not something the old guard like John K Mara would be prone to do me thinks.

The Texans GM Rick Smith has a contract thru 2012.

The Dolphins might be the spot both GM and HC could be had.

This all of course assuming you're of the belief Cowher will demand total power.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
