Cowher would be nice but ...
Rumors keep circling about former Pittsburgh Steelers' coach Bill Cowher interested in becoming the next head coach at Penn State.
Crazy how this stuff starts.
Cowher doesn't have a team. His house goes up for sale in North Carolina. And he's visited/talked with Penn State athletic director Tim Curley.
Oh, and Joe Paterno's contract status is uncertain beyond 2008.
So Cowher to the Nittany Lions?
We seriously doubt it.
First, it's difficult to imagine Penn State ever coming up with the kind of exclusive-rate money Cowher would command as a coach.
Second, Cowher told the Pittsburgh Post Gazette that he and his wife simply want to move a couple of blocks away in Raleigh, because they'd rather have a smaller home.
He told the Post-Gazette to put the Penn State rumor to rest: He's not going anywhere now.
