Tomlin or Cowher - Take your pick

[steelz09]

If Cowher wants to return to coaching and he wanted to coach in Pittsburgh, would you as a fan be willing to swap Tomlin for Cowher right now?

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Right now? No. Ask again in a year or two.

I would consider it but I'm torn.

Both have their pros and cons.

I think a lot depends on what kind of team they were to take over. Right now? I'd have to see after the draft and free agency to make that call. Cowher is better at getting the most out of a team as far as wins in the regular season, and beating the teams he should beat, without question. He is better at holding on to leads, without any doubt. I think Tomlin is better at getting a good team further, as Cowher tends to freeze up in the play offs. He only had two SB trips and one win in 15 years. Tomlin did the same in just four.

Bill Cowher reportedly won't coach for 4 to 5 years

By Gregg Rosenthal
Published: Jan. 9, 2013



Bill Cowher raised some eyebrows at a media event this week by saying he believes he'll coach in the NFL again someday. The 55-year-old CBS analyst has been out of the game for six years. His name no longer comes up for openings, but interest in him remains.

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Cowher was contacted by "several" NFL teams in the last few weeks, with the Cleveland Browns one likely team to contact him. But Cowher reportedly doesn't want to coach again for another "four or five years," according to Dulac's source.

Cowher is said to be in a "good place" in his life and seeking "stability" since the death of his wife, Kaye, in 2010. That makes all the sense in the world, but the four- or five-year timeline is a little surprising.

Cowher will be 60 by then. Will interest in him still be high? Even if he intends to coach again, will he feel differently after another five years of a cushy television gig?

This follow-up report sounds like Cowher's camp trying to ease any concerns of his employers at CBS. For now, Cowher doesn't want to close the door on a return to coaching. He likes his name coming up, but we'll believe he's actually coming back when he starts taking interviews and not before.

Never.

Cowher was an imbecile. A simple minded Yinzer who had no clue what it took to win championships.

If Cowher had his way Shawn Andrews was our 2004 draft pick.
