COWHER TO "RESIGN" INSTEAD OF "RETIRE"?
There's some speculation in league and media circles that, when/if/when Steelers coach Bill Cowher calls it quits in the 'Burgh it might be a resignation instead of a retirement.
In other words, there's a school of thought that Cowher might quickly be enticed to take a job with another NFL team, if the price is right.
But since the Steelers hold his rights through the 2007 season, any new team that would be interested in hiring him also would be required to compensate the Steelers with draft picks.
An industry source has pointed to the Giants and the Falcons as teams with which Cowher could land.
Another name we're now hearing for Atlanta is former 49ers and Lions coach Steve Mariucci. If, however, Jim Mora couldn't get Mike Vick to perform in a West Coast offense, we can't imagine Mooch pulling it off, either.

I still think Cowher will call it quits for one year and then come back to the NFL and I wonder if Mariucci will leave NFL Network because he seems to like it there.
