Should Bill Cowher Return to Coaching in the NFL ?

Betallsports · Jan 9, 2013

[h=3]NEW YORK (AP)[/h] Bill Cowher has added a bit of intrigue to the NFL coaching carousel, telling Newsday he probably will return to the sideline at some point.

The 55-year-old Cowher coached the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1992-2006, winning a Super Bowl after the 2005 season. He is now a TV analyst for CBS.

He tells the newspaper on Tuesday the challenge of returning to coaching after a long layoff is motivation for him to come back. But he says hasn't been contacted by any of the five NFL teams hunting for a new head coach, and he isn't tempted by any of those opportunities either.

Cowher's career coaching record is 149-90-1. The Steelers went 8-8 in his final season.

I think he definitely should.. guy has a mind for coaching... with that being said I have no idea how much the analyst position pays but its probably a lot more fun and a lot less stress.. so based on pay it has to be a huge differential to become a coach again I would reckon

But where would he go?

Is every single person waiting for the Cowboys job?

Hopefully the Eagles...

He is definitely capable and I think he would still be a fantastic coach. It all depends on whether or not he wants to deal with that kind of stress again. I was watching PTI tonight and those guys seem to think there isn't much of a chance that he'll return, whatever that's worth.
