I doubt Cowher leaves. He's too young, what's he gonna do?
I saw something on NFLN a while back about him missing his daughters growing up and how he wishes he had more time at home etc. IIRC One was a very good HS player and about to go onto college so she won't even be home if he was there. I think he was just reflecting on everything after finally making it to the top of the mountain.
I don't disagree that on paper he had some better teams. There was on year where I thought Barry Foster was very exciting and I doubt Parker's ever that good. Lloyd was a beast. Rod Woodson should go to the HOF and Carnell Lake was fierce as a S or CB. Their O line always seems tough and he probably had his most creative O when Kordell was playing the slash role. On paper doesn't matter, this was their best team and the Supe proves it. IMO He's been tested plenty until he finally made it losing great players and top coaches of his and.... I just think he's reflecting back on it all.
He'll coach again if he leaves. The guy is way too passionate about the game to walk away for a long time. I feel very confident stating that.

Besides, I wasn't questioning whether Cowher actually is going to retire or not, merely why a coach with a team that has the potential to win several more Super Bowl's would want to retire. Vermeil did it, and regretted it almost immediately. Cowher has the chance to go down as a Hall of Fame coach if he can win another title or two, though I can understand wanting to retire to spend time with family.
