PITTSBURGH - Bill Cowher is walking away from the most stable coaching job in the NFL - leading the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cowher called owner Dan Rooney on Thursday to tell him of his decision, and the team announced a Friday news conference not long after that. Cowher is expected to be there to say goodbye.
Pittsburgh will immediately begin a search to replace the retiring coach, a person familiar with Cowher's status said Thursday night, speaking on condition of anonymity because the retirement had not been officially announced.
The 49-year-old Cowher, one of the NFL's most recognizable faces and most successful coaches for 15 seasons, has weighed resigning since shortly after his Steelers finally won the Super Bowl in February following numerous near misses.
