Cowher: Will decide future after season

Steelers coach Bill Cowher is rumored to be retiring after the season. Here's what he said on a conference call with Cincinnati writers this afternoon.

"Well, like I said (Tuesday), I want to get through this week, and when the season is over, we'll address it at that time. So, I understand that everyone has to ask those questions, and I've tried to be honest with everyone. I want to make sure I have a clear mind before I make any final decision. And I can't do that objectively during the season."

Cowher is 148-90-1 in 15 seasons. He is 12-9 in the postseason in 10 appearances.

Cowher is 20-9 against the Bengals in his career, not counting the playoff victory last season.

I do believe and continue to maintain that Bill Cowher is the greatest opposing coach the Bengals have ever faced. If he leaves the Steelers after this Sunday, he will be nearly impossible to replace for the Rooneys.
Cowher belongs in the Hall of Fame(and soon).

He is one of my favorite coaches.
Similar (to me) like another fav.,
Reds manager Sparky Anderson.

As much as I dislike the Steelers, and Pittsburgh in general, I do have tremendous respect for Bill Cowher.

In this period of the NFL, it is nearly impossible to find an NFL head coach that lasts more than 10 years with the same team, let alone 15.
