Bill Cowher not planning a return to coaching

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher claims that he is happy to remain in his role as a television pundit than return to coaching.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher has insisted that he has no plans to return to coaching despite being linked to numerous vacancies around the NFL.

Cowher was the coach of the Steelers for 15 years and guided them to the Super Bowl title in the 2005 season, but then left his role in 2007 to become a pundit with television network CBS.

The 57-year-old has been linked with openings across the league, but has claimed that he is more than happy with his current position.

"It was great this year to be on the sidelines for some of the Thursday games and get to be up close to it," he told SiriusXM NFL Radio.

"You see the officials, you see some of the assistant coaches it does get your blood going. But no, I'm in a really good place. I really enjoy my job at CBS. I'm enjoying all the involvement with that and the Thursday football.

"It's good. I'm in a good place. You're not going to see me on the sidelines. I enjoy it, I miss it, but not enough to get back."

Cowher had a 149–99–1 record as head coach of the Steelers.
