Also, Cowher is a Scottenheimer disciple and a close personal friend of his. After seeing what Marty went thru while he was here what makes you think he'll be in a rush to be here.
Not to mention with Cerrato's new title, Cowher is only going somewhere with total control so Snyder would have to demote/fire Vinny. Do you see that happening?

Well, Snyder stood by while Schottenheimer fired Vinny back in '01. It's not like it's never happened. There's a small part of me that believes Snyder has basically said this is put up or shut up time for Vinny. Give him the appropriate titles, let him call (almost) all the shots, and if things don't turn around, Snyder has his scapegoat.
We all have a price. So does Cowher. Snyder has enough money to lure him here with or without complete control. There just aren't too many owners who are willing to get into a bidding war with Lil' Danny. If Danny wants him, Danny gets him unless Bill Cowher is absolutely repulsed by the idea of working for him.
Certainly it's not a foregone conclusion that this is where Cowher is headed. For the record, I'm not one of his biggest fans.
