ESPN reports will happen on Monday.

 

Maybe the Steelers can get Mike Martz? :D

 

 

Denny Green is available :D

 

I am certainly no fan of the Steelers, but I have a great deal of respect for Cowher. Football will not be the same without him :bash:

That's unfortunate, as Cowher's one of the best in the business. If this is true, I'll bet that he comes back after a year or two of rest (perhaps to Dallas?).

 

So, I wonder if Jim Tressel or Kirk Ferentz will be getting a phone call from Pittsburgh next week? :D

I can see some college program throwing a ton of money at him in the next year or two. He'll definitely be back.

 

 

Would love to see him bring the Minnesota Gophers to the next level.

 

I know (sigh) it'll never happen. :D

Ferentz maybe... I have heard Tressel is staying put though.

 

 

I could see Ferentz leaving. He'll have a tough time winning a championship at Iowa with their recruiting. It also helps that Belichick sings his praises.

 

I wouldn't doubt that Tressel stays. Ohio State finishes in the Top 25 nearly every season and has the recruiting to sustain it. The only reason that he might forego that is if he wants to prove that he can win in the pros.

Tressel stays at OSU. He has the job he's always wanted...

:D Cowher :D

 

Well, it was getting obvious that he was going to leave. I truly believe he is leaving because he wants to be with his family. He has two daughters (Jr. & Fr.) playing basketball at Princeton. He has a 3rd daughter in high school. My guess is that he will go away for a while to watch his daughters, and then will come back. He is young enough to do that. When he comes back, I expect the Steelers job to not be an option, as once Rooney makes his selection, I have no doubt that he will be loyal to it. Jobs that might have interest to Cowher are Carolina (location), Kansas City (Previous Ties), and Cleveland (Previous Ties).

 

I think Bill Cowher is a phenomenal coach, and will be missed a great deal. He always surrounded himself with great people, which is to his credit. He was great at motivating his team and getting the best out of them. His players respect him across the board, which says a lot.

 

As for the Steelers new coach, my $$$ is on Ken Whisenhunt, who I think will be a great head coach. Russ Grimm will also be highly considered, but, I'd be shocked if they went him. I do expect some outside interest, as the Steelers head coaching job has to be a prized one due to the Rooney's past loyalty to stay by their coach, even in rough times. Should be interesting.

I always liked Cowher's intensity. Reminded me of Iron Mike. I don't see him on the sidelines long, though for my $$$ he could replace Chris Collings"worthless".
