First, Bill Cowher’s name began popping up with the Bills, and then the Panthers and Bucs. Then he began to assemble his coaching staff (still without a job, mind you). Which was quickly followed by news that Cowher would be just fine not coaching in 2010, and presumably preferring to stay at his CBS job. Or maybe he’s just waiting for Tom Coughlin to leave.
Bettis: Bill Cowher Waiting For Giants Head Coaching Job
↵According to Jerome Bettis, that’s exactly what Cowher is doing, saying he’s wanted the Giants head coaching job all along.
↵↵“That’s the team that he really coveted,” Bettis said. “This is where he always wanted to be. The Mara family, he’s been very close to them. ... He’s known them very well and was on the inside track - before the Giants won the Super Bowl - for that job. And I think he’s holding out for that opportunity if it presents itself.”
↵Bettis added that he believes that Cowher “is going to be with the Giants” eventually - - possibly as soon as next year.
↵“He would have definitely gotten the job (after the 2007 season, if the Giants hadn’t gone on a run),” Bettis said. “And if Coughlin doesn’t get that team back in the right direction next year I think they’ll pull the plug.”
