Former Steelers star running back Jerome Bettis wrote about his former coach, Bill Cowher, for SI.com.
Bettis thinks Cowher would replace the Giants' Tom Coughlin, who is struggling to keep his team from tuning him out. He doesn't think Cowher, who hasn't
Writes Bettis:
I expect Bill Cowher to be coaching again very soon. I can tell Coach Cowher misses the game. He did the right thing leaving three years ago to spend time with his family and should be commended for it. The situation is right for him to come back. He's a Hall of Fame coach, just 53, and could have a number of openings to choose from.
Could he enter a rebuilding situation? Yes, but with prerequisites. He needs a proven quarterback, and because of that I look at Eli Manning and the Giants. If that team keeps heading in its current direction, a coaching change is going to be imminent. Some people point to Dallas as a possibility for Cowher, but I'm not so sure. Coach Cowher is very used to a certain type of ownership. The Rooney family provided him leeway in Pittsburgh and let him handle football decisions. I don't see Coach Cowher and Jerry Jones being on the same page.
Cowher, who coached the Steelers for 15 years before retiring, recently told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "With every year, there becomes a little bit more of a void because you do miss it."
Bettis also wrote about the Cowboys: "The Cowboys are back, and so is Roy Williams . Being able to find another receiver outside of Miles Austin makes Dallas especially dangerous. Up until the last game, Williams was an afterthought. With the performance he had against the Texans (five catches, 117 yards), he totally changed that offense. Teams aren't defending Williams as a No. 1 receiver anymore, allowing the opportunity for his resurgence."
