Bill Cowher Has No Interset in Coaching Jets or Any Other Team
CBS Sports analyst Bill Cowher poured cold water all over his fellow NFL Today colleague Boomer Esaison, who a week ago claimed that Cowher would be interested in the potential head coaching vacancy with the New York Jets.
On the NFL Today Cowher announced he has zero interest in the Jets job, and in fact has no desire to coach.
"I have too much respect for the coach profession to talk about a job that isn't open. From that perspective, any job that is open, I have no interest in coaching," he said.
This is not surprising at all. Cowher, who hasn't coached a NFL game since 2006 when he abruptly retired following an 8-8 campaign in his 15th year in Pittsburgh, has been linked to jobs for years. He still hasn't taken a job once, let along interview.
Whether it be the Jets, Giants or Carolina Panthers, Cowher has been linked to those spots and I am sure others in the past, and nothing has come of it. The fact that Esaison even ran with this idea a week ago on his radio show when he should have known better, is inexplicable.
As of now Adam Gase is still the coach of the woeful 0-13 Jets. If he is fired (remember we are dealing with the Jonson brothers here) the Jets will choose among many young coordinators in the league or in college football.
