Wow, I didn't even know she was sick. Perhaps that's why Bill ultimately decided to stay out another year, so he could be with her. Very sad, thoughts and prayers are with the family.

So sad for the Cowher family...and for a good life cut short.

Speaks very well of Bill Cowher that he put his family ahead of his career..

Bill Cowher confirmed his wife Kaye's death in a statement released on Saturday.

"Sadly, my wife Kaye lost her battle with cancer on Friday. Kaye was such a loving and compassionate person and she was the foundation of our family. Kaye was always at my side throughout my career as a player, coach, NFL analyst and, most importantly, as a parent to our three daughters Meagan, Lauren and Lindsay. They will miss their mother dearly.

"Kaye was the rock that we could all lean on in the tough times. She was looked up to by so many people and I cannot say enough about what Kaye meant to our family. Her memory will never be forgotten. We would like to thank everyone who has kept our family in their thoughts and prayers and for those who have reached out to express their condolences. It is clear that Kaye touched a lot of lives."

Cowher obviously has his priorities in order. He obviously lost his soulmate. I can only imagine what his loss and grief must be like. I wish he and his children all the best.

sad....now we know the real reason why he has been here.

I doubt he will leave now, though. (Which means he will be considered a candidate as the Panthers HC for years to come.)
