Former NFL head coach Bill Cowher said Sunday, Dec. 26, during the CBS pregame show that he is not secretly pining for New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin's job, according to Ralph Vacchiano and Hank Gola, of the New York Daily News. Although he didn't specifically mention Coughlin or the Giants - or any "hypothetical" opening - Cowher did say he roots for no coach to be fired just so he can get a job. "For anyone to insinuate that I have a wish list of coaches to be fired at this time of the year, I have too much respect for the profession," Cowher said. "I know how hard it is. I don't wish for anybody to be fired. And for someone to insinuate that I'm doing that right now is disrespectful to them, and I'm insulted by it. I would not do that to the profession." Cowher, however, didn't specifically deny his oft-reported interest in coaching the Giants or any other team. "I'm not naive to say there won't be change at the end of the year," Cowher said. "But I will address that at the end of the year."

"I am not going to go back into coaching, just to go back into coaching," he said. "It has to be the right situation. And I don't know what the right situation consists of."

Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports former NFL RB Jerome Bettis said in his new book that he believes former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher helped Steelers' management run former NFL QB Kordell Stewart out of town because he was due a big contract after his Pro Bowl season in 2001. "You bench your Pro Bowl quarterback for a guy who had been out of football for years, who hadn't started an NFL game in 10 seasons? That just doesn't happen by accident. I think they pulled Kordell partly because they didn't want to pay him a big salary and signing bonus. It was cheaper for them if he didn't have success. If he recovered and had a huge year, then the public sentiment would be, 'Hey, you've got to re-sign him for whatever it costs.' I'm telling you, it was a monetary decision. The Steelers had no interest in paying Kordell his market value," Bettis said in his book.
