Boomer Esiason floated the Cowher rumor this morning, along with a $20 million per asking price. He’d only accept if given Bill Parcells-like control. Boomer & Bill do the CBS, pregame show. Anyway, for what it’s worth and as a JETS fan, I like!

There's a new Cowher rumor every year. I'm telling you, it's a rabbit hole. And Boomer's a moron.

As a Browns fan, I can relate. Cowher was dangled out there in our rumor mill annually for about ten years. Each year he supposedly was spotted house-hunting in Mentor. Or a cab driver gave him a ride out of Cleveland-Hopkins airport. Or a cable-tv installer just got done hooking up the house he was buying.

Cowher will never coach again, but I'll bet he enjoys the attention.

It’s a terrible idea. Cowher as a coach is fine, well was fine. He’s been out of the game for 14 years. And we can see from Gruden’s struggles that the game has changed and reporting on it on TV is just not the same. And he’s never been close to being the GM. And frankly having coach and GM be the same person has a long history of failing. Except for Bill Belichick. The jobs really have contrary goals, GMs need the long view, coaches are focused on today. And they’re both 80 hour a jobs. $20 million seems like a good bozo asking price. You know “if you’re dumb enough to pay that much sure I’ll take it, but really, you’d be dumb”.
