Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
So reports PFT's Mike Florio, who added it's likely Cowher’s arrival would occur only if G.M. Phil Savage were fired or significantly marginalized. Cowher would want final say over personnel, and Cowher would want to install one or more of his former Steelers colleagues into key positions. Per Florio, likely candidates, if they get out of Pittsburgh, would be director of football operations Kevin Colbert and/or director of business operations Omar Khan. Cowher played for the Browns from 1980 through 1982, and he served as special teams coach in 1985 and 1986. He was moved to defensive backs coach in 1987, and he remained in that position through 1988.
