Peter King said Cowher is not coaching in 2009 unless someone offers him more then 10 mill per season. Good ole Pete is a as bad as you get with his sources and predictions, so I am optimistic that Cowher will be our coach with a 4 yr/ 31 million contract and final say on a personnel transactions. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/peter_king/12/30/mail/index.html?eref=T1[/url] You want Bill Cowher to come coach your team? Wait 'til next year. Cowher, the hottest coach on the market in a year with multiple job openings, will stay off the sidelines in 2009, reliable NFL sources tell me. The only way Cowher will even consider one of the jobs, I'm told, is if he gets an offer he just can't refuse. What would that offer be? There probably isn't one out there, but it would have to be ridiculous money -- more than $10 million a year, almost certainly -- plus one that Cowher thinks he quickly can build a team to win. When Cowher left the Steelers after the 2006 season, he told his family he would stay out of football until his youngest daughter, Lindsay, finished her high-school years in Raleigh, N.C. Lindsay is a senior right now. And I'm told Cowher "absolutely'' has not changed his mind. I'm also told reliably that if there was a job out there Cowher would have loved to consider, it was the Browns job. The fact he turned down the Browns' job almost without thinking Saturday night in a face-to-face meeting with owner Randy Lerner tells you everything you need to know about his unwillingness to return in 2009. Cowher, a former Cleveland player and assistant coach, loves the tradition of the Browns and the passion of their fan base, but it just wasn't the right time for him. This shouldn't stop the Jets from sniffing around Cowher, certainly. If there's a 1-in-100 chance, Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum needs to check it out. But he'd better get a list of good alternatives available.
Someone said about Three hours ago, that he would write a similar column. Peter King...You Fat Bastard. If someone is going to offer Cowher 10 million this year, they would be willing to do the same next year. By the way, How Many teams would even think of spending that? Jets and Cowboys, that is it!
I've become a big Adam Schefter fan. I'll wait to hear from him. When I want to read about his latest half-caff, soy-milk, no-foam, low-heat, venti chai latte, I'll read Peter King. . . . heh. . .brings to mind an old truism - the longer it takes you to order a cup of coffee, the bigger the asshole you are.
Mark my words, Peter King is going to post another article telling the world why Cowher SHOULD WAIT until next year and not take the Jets job.
peter king is a poopy head. haven't we beat this dead horse long enough? why does anyone bother reading what he says? we all know it is going to be against the jets everytime.
I heard Tom Curran (I think) talking this morning about how he's out of favor with the Patriots. He's resented for his persistence on the Spygate thing.
Why isn't he reporting about something he actually knows about, like the sizes of Kraft and Belly's cocks?
I wonder what his article would say if Chicken was stepping down in New England and Kraft was going after Cowher?
