The Chin is running out of choices

I almost think the Chargers would dump their head coach for him.

Chargers have been ruthless in the past letting players and coaches go for more exciting ones.

Considering he wants Colbert or Khan with him in the FO, the only way this would happen is if Dean Spanos just said f**k it and dumped Norv and AJ. With the contentious relationship that AJ had with Marty when he was here (and Cowher coming from that coaching tree), I don't see Smith and Cowher coexisting.

The labor uncertainty though will preclude him from taking a job this year, since it could be a while before he gets his hands on the team if there's a lockout.

And yet, Norv manages to hang on despite struggling, even though they have one of the top QB's in the league, and the number one defense.

They fired their 14-2 head coach after losing in the playoffs....just saying..

Why wouldnt they fire someone who had all of this talent and credentials on one team and generally sucked throughout the year?

[Anybodyhome]

I find it amusing that none of the teams named in the OP were ever on Cowher's list of preferences...

He therefore has no decision to make. He simply stays on TV... so what?

[Happy Panther]

All they had to do was beat the browns, bengals, oilers, and jaguars. Hell most of the teams Fox put on the field could have done the same.

The NFL is never easy no matter what division you are in.

His record is amazing. 161-99-1.

last i heard about him was that he was going to stay with cbs

AJ Smith's ego.

Schotty and Smith didn't even talk to each other.

He wants to coach the Giants and he won't return to coaching until that job is available. If the Giants don't want him then he won't return at all.

Care to explain?

Not that I'm doubting you, I'm just wondering why he'd have such a preference for the Giants..

[Anybodyhome]

Because he said he'd prefer to coach the Giants, the Texans and Miami.

One of his requirements was the team had to have an established QB, which immediately eliminated Carolina although a lot of people simply ignored that small detail in their desperate hopes that Cowher would come to Charlotte.
