Re: RIP Kaye Cowher
I don't think anyone had his wife's health as the reason for retiring. Really puts it in perspective.

Re: RIP Kaye Cowher
Shocking, awful news...feel absolutely terrible for Coach and their three girls.
I am indeed glad that they got the chance to spend a great deal of time together during the last few years of her life, living in N.C. where they met and getting to see their daughters play basketball together. Unfortunately, the life of an NFL coach doesn't come with as much quality family time as you might like, so Coach stepped away at the right time.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

Re: RIP Kaye Cowher
Too sad and too young. I will always remember her at the stadium cheering Bill and the Steelers on. I especially remember her placing her hand on Bills cheek after the Super Bowl loss to the Cowgirls and trying to hold back the tears. I'm glad he retired and with hopes they spent more time together at the end. I'm glad she got to watch her girls grow to at least their current ages and I'm glad she got to experience Bill, herself and the girls winning the Super Bowl along with the Steelers.
RIP Kaye and comfort for all those that love her.Comment

It would be sweet if the Steelers somehow honored her this year, something on the Jersey or helmet....NFL prolly wouldnt allow it though.....Comment

Re: RIP Kaye Cowher
A moment of silence before a game yes. That would be it though.

Re: RIP Kaye Cowher
Really shocking and sad to hear. My heart goes out to the Cowher family.
And kudos to the Rooneys & the rest of the Steelers organization for keeping this quiet at the time of his retirement. They had to know that this played into it, and it says a lot that there wasn't even the slightest leak of this information at the time (or since, for that matter).
Really puts the whole Cowher retirement situation into perspective, I've gone from feeling a little betrayed and jaded about him retiring to realizing that there were much more important factors that played into the decision, and he made the right choice, indeed the only choice. Glad he had a few good years to spend with the family together.Comment

Re: RIP Kaye Cowher
Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher issued this statement today to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on the passing of his wife, Kaye:
"Sadly, my wife Kaye lost her battle with cancer on Friday. Kaye was such a loving and compassionate person and she was the foundation of our family. Kaye was always at my side throughout my career as a player, coach, NFL analyst and, most importantly, as a parent to our three daughters Meagan, Lauren and Lindsay. They will miss their mother dearly.
"Kaye was the rock that we could all lean on in the tough times. She was looked up to by so many people and I cannot say enough about what Kaye meant to our family. Her memory will never be forgotten. We would like to thank everyone who has kept our family in their thoughts and prayers and for those who have reached out to express their condolences. It is clear that Kaye touched a lot of lives."
For anyone interested in making a donation on Mrs. Cowher's behalf, her family has asked that they be directed to Family Resources of Pennsylvania (412)-363-1702; [url="http://www.familyresourcesofpa.org"]http://www.familyresourcesofpa.org[/url].

Re: RIP Kaye Cowher
I was gonna mention the Super Bowl loss and Kaye conforting Bill as one of my fondest memories as a Steeler fan. We all needed comforting at that moment and Kaye seemed to be there for all of us. Its so sad. RIP Kaye. And all the best to Coach Cowher and the girls as they morn her loss.Originally posted by fezziwigComment

Re: RIP Kaye Cowher
Again, only speculation on my part but it may make more sense why Cowher may have been so emotionally numb after the Super Bowl.
My fondest memory was her and the girls going nuts at the Colts championship game up in the Skybox booth.Comment
