Sources: Cowher didn't want to coach Favre
There will be no Cowher Power for the Jets. Bill Cowher informed the team last night he is not interested in their head-coaching job, and it could be because he doesn't want to coach Brett Favre. The former Steeler coach was the clear-cut favorite to replace Eric Mangini among Jets fans, and the team's ownership. Now, Woody Johnson must move on to Plan B. Talks between the Jets and Cowher never advanced past the preliminary stage. Sources close to Cowher said he did not want to have Favre as his quarterback, and that he also wanted to bring in people he was familiar with to handle personnel. A source familiar with Cowher's thinking said before last night's decision came down that the former Steeler boss would have to receive assurances from the Jets that the 39-year-old Favre no longer was in the picture before agreeing to take control.

Now he cost his team a coach. Farve should retire now and go back to Louisiana and start shrimping with his buddy Forest. Fans are sick of hearing about Farve thinking about retirement.

DO you think the other NFL teams will learn or someone will take a chance on him (and lose out) again??
This guy WAS an Excellent QB, but trouble is his middle name... enough of him, retire and go into oblivion...

Cowher is a man of conviction, good on him. Farve needs to quit. The only reason he wants to come back is his streak. 5 games from Marshalls record, QB'S arent supposed to be healthy for this amount of time. Take your tired act and leave.

Ahhhh, the haters come out. You guys are probably the same idiots that hate on Shaq. Apprently the leadership doesnt mean anything to you. Yes Favre throws INT's its a known fact. The Jets suck, period. If Dan Marino in his prime played for this same team they still wouldnt have made the playoffs. Their O-Line, D-Line is a joke, the WR's are worthless and have no threat. Favre didnt have crap to play with. If you think he is so horrible, check last years stats and games with GB. The exact same GB team that won 6 games this year, lacked the leadership of Favre. BUT, Favre is winding down and the only reason Cowherd doesnt want Favre is because he wants the attention. Cowherd has always been an attention **** and knows he wont get it with Favre there. If Favre stays, get rid of Coles and Cotchery they are a joke.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about Fav-re anyhow. He won ONE Superbowl and had a few really good years. But he's hurt his team as many years as he's helped 'em. I can think of at least three stupid playoff interceptions that cost his team the game.
