There is no question that Cowher will be the hottest coaching prospect out there. The problem is that he will want complete control over personnel decisions. That means that GMs who are entrenched like Jerry Reese in NY, he won't go so his options are limited. Plus, the Mara family believe in seperation of power b/t/w GM and HC. Parcells/Young, etc.
There was an article a year or two back about how Cowher is very close to both families (Mara and Tisch). Why that is, I am not sure.
It will all come down to how the owners feel 03 Jan. They have the SB but three years of meltdown. On NFLN, it has been noted how furious the Mara's were after 2009.
Reese has certainly brought in talent but the roster seems stacked with meatheads. Obviously, this can go anyway.
This would seem to be the first logjam on the coaching front.
