Cowher to Retire?

Post by **Mad City Mike** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 3:48 pm

That's the rumor Madden is reporting. Supposedly so his daughter can go to a basketball friendly private school in North Carolina. Supposedly it's making the rounds in Fox Chapel today.

The rumor says he will move to North Carolina. then when his girl finishes high school in 3 years, he would come back to coaching, though likely not in Pittsburgh.

I don't buy it for a second myself.

Perhaps Madden "borrowed" the story from a message board parody.

The Great Mark Madden would never steal from a message board. It is below a person of his stature.

Madden is bitter. But his bitterness is nothing compared to the idiots on WIP in Philly. So what we know is Seattle got jobbed with bad calls, Big Ben was scared the whole game and the Steelers & Cowher didn't really win the Super Bowl. I would expect this from Seattle but Philly? Are they that jealous?

But getting back to the original topic, if Cowher leaves I wouldn't mind. Promote Wisenhunt and see what he can do running the show by himself.

wouldn't russ grimm be next in line and not wisenhunt?

Not necessarilly missing anything, but is Madden back with us on here yet, or is he just reading to get 'ideas' and not necessarilly enlightening us with his clean, friendly banter?

Its a load of crap that he made up from the fold of his belly.

I think both he and his wife went to college in Raliegh. I was just there a few weeks ago. I can't see the appeal.

He has won the Super Bowl, he has accomplished everything he needed to accomplish. At least there will be an NHL team in Raliegh in 2 years.

Madden is dead to me. Dead I say. Next subject.

Really? He is very much alive. Tune in to 1250 AM 3-7 weekdays!

Pens Q&A: November 15, 2002

Q: Do you think the local TV news media needs to cover the Penguins in greater depth? Since attendance is lower this year, do you think the Penguins' management should lobby for enhanced coverage on the sports section of the nightly news? After all, the Steelers get all the free PR they can handle on all three networks. If the Penguins could get more coverage, then maybe their stature and popularity -- and, ultimately, ticket sales -- would improve.

Greg Wood of Greenfield

KOVACEVIC: I almost always stay away from questions about other media, Greg, although I'm always happy to entertain comments or concerns about the Post-Gazette's coverage of the Penguins. But I'll make an exception this time, as I get a lot of this sentiment in e-mails.

My initial response is that I think four of the five Pittsburgh stations with a regular sportscast show Penguins news and highlights fairly regularly, albeit with a noticeable dip on weekends. The other station, WTAE, is obsessive about the Steelers to the extent that it isn't shy about leading its sportscasts in May and June with a "Countdown to Camp Cowher" in favor of highlights from a Pirates game attended by 30,000. I'd consider that the anomaly, though, rather than the rule.

And this has what to do with Cowher retiring?

I thought PHPBB had a delete option under 'Edit'? Admin?

Post by **netwolf** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 12:56 pm

I think the delete option disappears once someone replies to a post.

Edit: yep, it would seem you can only delete a post that has no replies.
