I spoke with a retired member of the Pittsburgh media today (after reading about the stealth meeting) who covered the Steelers in Cowher's time there and actually became quite close with "the chin". He said:
"I don't know the specifics, but I can tell you that Bill will be coming back to coaching and Buffalo is the place I would peg him at."
"Speaking with some people involved, the interest is real, the situation is real, the talk is real, if the money is real, Bill Cowher will be the next head coach in Buffalo."
"I don't know what other options he has had, but the only two he has entertained are Carolina and Buffalo and Carolina really hasn't been an option."
"They talk about Tampa and how that is a good spot for Bill. But I know Bill. Bill likes the cold, Bill likes the fans up north, Bill likes the blue collar, American fan. Bill likes to win, and bring winning to those who deserve it."
"Yes, I certainly believe that Cowher would consider an offer from Buffalo and I think they are a good match."
I trust him, he is a good man and has years and years of experience and contacts made. He didn't say there was an imminent signing, but he says it is a good possibility.
I hope I helped in some way. I don't have many Buffalo contacts so I kind of had to dig and find the guy's number again, but he is pretty reliable. Not that he gave any facts really. He just thinks it is a match.
Take it for what it's worth.
