Scratch Bill Cowher Off the List
Obviously things could change and money could per sway anyone to reconsider, but as of right now it doesn't sound like Bill Cowher has much interest in coaching, especially next year.
The exact question posed to him was, “Are we going to see Bill Cowher patrolling the sideline again in 2009?”
And his exact answer –- transcribed by the fine young men, Brad Fancon and Jason Kleinman, at NFL.com –- was: “No, I don’t think so. I mean, I’m working on the same extension that the CBA (collective bargaining agreement) is (and that runs through 2010). So I mean, I’m on here until at least 2010 — or more.
“But, I don’t think so. You know what Adam, I’m really enjoying CBS. They’ve been very good and allowed me to come in. Last year was a lot of fun working with James Brown, and Dan (Marino), and Shannon (Sharpe), and Boomer (Esisason). I had a chance to watch more football doing what I’m doing on Sundays than I did when I was coaching, which was just focused on my team. And I really enjoyed the National Football League, all the storylines taking place. It has really filled a tremendous void that I thought was going to be there that I’ve been able to do by doing this little gig I have on Sundays.”
Even if Cowher was interested in returning it would be a long shot that he ended up in Detroit. Cowher is supposedly someone that wants complete control over everything, and I don't know if we would get that in Detroit. Regardless, it probably is a moot point anyways since it doesn't sound like Cowher will be on the sidelines for any team in the next year.

Possibility
There’s still an off chance that he may come in for Millen’s old job. Cowher always did well Pittsburgh with his teams. Plus he’d have plenty of control of the team, and a failsafe for whatever coach is bumbling his way through the sidelines. Also with Cowher’s nose (joke) for defense he’d be great for what the team needed immediately. They need to just ignore the idea of drafting offense indefinitely, unless it’s a lineman, and even still that’s a reach. This defense is so terrible that has to be addressed yesterday.

eh
There has to be a number that would make him change his mind. Hell, we paid Millen that ridiculous sum, I don’t see why we wouldn’t pay for Cowher.
