No, many in the media have stated that Bill Cowher would never come here.
As a matter of fact, it was reported a few weeks ago that he really wants Tom Coughlin's job.
Personally, if you are going to give a Head Coach an extension, it should be more than 1 year.
If you only have confidence in a Head Coach to only extend his contract to 1 year, then you should probably move on and find a Head Coach you feel is worth a multi year contract.
Also, at this point I would not mind seeing Jason Garrett get shown the door because I have a feeling Wade Phillips has no control over the Offense.
I would like to see him pick his own Offensive Coordinator and thus have some authority over him.
I really hate seeing a team with pretty good talent on Offense go down the drain with a guy learning on the job.
