Granted it's just PFT but still...I've thought all along he just needed a year or so to recharge his batteries. I don't care what all the haters on this board think. The "Chin" could work here in Dallas next season. (if the injuries keep piling on, we all know deep down Wade won't survive this: fair or not so spare me any talk of him coming back because he proved BEFORE the injuries he isn't the answer)
COACH CHIN SHOWING SOME LEG TO JERRY?

As names like Jim Haslett begin to percolate to the top of the list of names of potential head coaching candidates for the coming hiring cycle, former Steelers coach Bill Cowher could be making an effort to ensure that his name remains in circulation for any potential vacancies.
Why else would Cowher have told David Elfin of the Washington Times that Cowher was contacted by the Commanders after former coach Joe Gibbs retired in January? (At the press conference announcing Gibbs’ retirement, Commanders owner Daniel Snyder denied speaking Cowher. But it’s possible that the communications came thereafter.)
“We talked,” Cowher told Elfin. “It was a good talk. I was very flattered, but I expressed that it wasn’t the right time.”
Elfin also reports that Cowher, 51, reiterated he has no plans to return to coaching. Of course, a truck full of money might make it the “right time” to reconsider.
And the man to watch in this regard is Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
If the Cowboys fail to make the playoffs, or if they go one-and-out yet again, look for Jones to have the same kind of epiphany that prompted him to hand the keys to Bill Parcells nearly six years ago.
Jones once thought enough of Cowher to hire his offensive coordinator, Chan Gailey, to be the Cowboys’ head coach. Haslett, another member of the official Cowher coaching Chia Pet, undoubtedly got Jones’ attention nine days ago when the overmatched Rams overpowered the Cowboys.
With Cowher now available, and with Jones getting ready to christen a billion-dollar stadium, Jones’ impulsive nature could prompt him to plunk down whatever it takes to get Cowher to give it another go.
For now, it’s unknown what Jones will eventually do. From Cowher’s perspective, however, it doesn’t hurt to remind Jones and anyone else who might be looking for a new coach remembers that Cowher is still around.:starspin
