Not only would that number more than double what his predecessor was pulling in, it would also put him inside the top ten of the highest paid coaches in college football — in his first collegiate job at the collegiate level.

Wow...

he'll be in the NFL before too long, methinks.

what makes you think that?

if he's attracting that kind of dough already, which speaks to how highly thought of he is and how valuable, I can't help but think that he'll get a lot of attention at the pro level. Doesn't mean he'll be good in the NFL, but teams are always looking for that hot brilliant candidate. IDK, maybe he'll just stick to NCAA, but I don't see any reason why his offense wouldn't work in the NFL.

I think hes a genius, but he has zero experience in the pros so not sure how well he would translate, it would be a risk.

i agree. he's an intriguing coach though.

Cowher open to returning to coaching..

Nope. Don;t want him anyway. Respect the guy and the Steelers but I hate their football.

I feel the same way and we wouldn't have Dick LeBeau as a DC too. We need to get an Offensive coach.

He is going to have rude awakening when the next team he coaches for doesn't have the organization of Pittsburgh. He could be another coach great with one team and terrible with the next.

Exactly.

See George Seifert.

Brian Billick took his name out of the hat

I believe he likes Alex Smith

lol @ people wating Gruden as head coach and wanting McDaniels/Norv Turner as OC's. They're offensive coaching strategy is all different between the three of them. All I can do is shake my head on this one and give myself the face palm. Now we need to bring Rob Ryan as DC, Leslie Frazier as DL coach, Munasky as LB, coach, and Mike Nolan as DB coach. Lets call up Steve Tasker to be our ST's coach.

CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

(PS... Bring in Peyton Manning in Free Agency as well)

so true, it's funny seeing people concoct all the impossible and unlikely coordinator-HC pairings.

It would be interesting to see what kind of offense he brings to the NFL. The closest thing that we currently have to a spread offense in the NFL are the Patriots, Colts and maybe the Steelers. I just wonder how his system will be adapted to NFL defenses.

pretty good article on his offensive style:

Whilst it would be foolish to openly court a coach I think Jed should be getting his arse into gear and put the word out on who he would like. If we have any chance of improving under a new coach he needs time to get his house in order.

We should really make a play for Cowher, from what I've read many teams haven't really been in touch with him now as they have been in past seasons. Cowher's been out of the coaching game for a few years, but he was one of the most consistent coaches usually in the NFL and could see him doing some nice things here in SF. I agree the Steelers are one of the best run organizations in sports and have been for awhile, but am I the only one who feels like Mike Tomlin would have been a proven head coach regardless of where he went? I'm thinking Cowher as head coach, and bring Marvin Lewis to take over the D (that is if the Bengals dump him, big if)

For the amount of control and the money he will want, i think he is a huge risk when he doesn't have the Pittsburgh organization behind him.
