Gailey hasn't even been canned yet but I think it's likely.
I want Cowher.
I think we had a better shot than many gave us credit for before. His wife supposedly didn't want to move. She has passed away.
After his wife died he stated he would consider coaching again (Aug 24th, 2010):
"The next step might be coaching but he is not in a rush. He enjoys the CBS job and has done well at it. “If the right situation occurred, I’d consider coaching,” he said. “But everyone asks, ‘What’s the right situation?’ I don’t know. I’m not sitting and looking at any one job."
In Oct of 2011 he said he would not coach in 2012:
He also said he could stay in TV for good:
"After other NFL studio shows Sunday buzzed about where CBS' Bill Cowher might coach next year, Cowher squashed the speculation on CBS' pregame show. "I do not plan on coaching next year.…I plan on being back in the same seat next year." The ex-Pittsburgh coach, in an interview Sunday, suggested he might stay in TV permanently: "That's a distinct possibility.""
He has ties to Whaley who may or may not survive. I could see Whaley being the GM or promoted to an equal level with Cowher and Cowher being given the top role in football op's along with the HC job.
Cowher owns a place in NY:
Not sure whether having a place in NY helps or not. He could be home in an hour from Buff.
There was a rumor that Cowher would consider the Bills (one of the 3 teams he would consider) but I can't seem to find anything on that. I'm sure it's just conjecture but given the consideration he gave us before, his wifes passing, and a better roster this time around, I could see a better chance. Anyways, If you know where that came from can please provide a link.
The biggest issues are whether he wants to coach again and his friendship with Gailey. I wonder if Gailey gets canned, the Bills show interest in Cowher and Cowher contacts Gailey to extend the olive branch about taking the job.
Yes, we have little shot at a marquee HC. But, this is the caliber of HC I want.
