Bill Cowher Next Quotations

We had no margin of error, just wipe the slate clean and focus on the next game. Don't worry about the playoffs. Don't worry about what's taken place.

Next year is the only future I've looked at. It's going to be starting over and trying to re-establish a group of guys that is going to be different than it was this year. But I can tell you that next week I'm going to be doing a lot of reflecting, and enjoying every moment of it.

I don't remember losing too many games coming off the bye. Of course, we've lost that next game a few times.

I think the message was real clear when he was standing next to me. You can't do that. Some things around here won't change. The one thing we've got to do is take care of the football.

Willie's starting again next week. He's our starter. I've got to keep other guys involved and I'll attempt to do that, but Willie Parker's going nowhere.

Willie's starting again next week, ... He's our starter. I've got to keep other guys involved and I'll attempt to do that, but Willie Parker's going nowhere.

Willie's starting again next week. He's our starter.

We have traveled a hard road, and grew as a football team, and individually. This is a very grounded and resilient group of guys. We've never taken anything for granted and looked beyond the next game. We have kind of had tunnel vision throughout the process.

The recovery time right now is he obviously isn't going to play this week and we'll assess next Tuesday, ... We'll see where he is from there....

Ben's 23, but when you talk to him, you realize he's a lot more mature than that. I don't talk to him a lot about what to do or say. He understands. He's got a good perspective on things. He realizes you're only judged by your next game.

Right now, we just enjoy playing. We're just going to go on to the next game and we're going to try to find a way to win this next game.

They got a chance to see that one earlier in the season, and maybe they'll get to see it next year.

I'm giving Jerome the day off; he'll come back next week, ... He's been doing great. I try to do it periodically. I think where he is in his career I have to be pretty smart about it. He looks like he's in pretty good shape right now. He's in pretty good form. He's been through a few training camps, I think he'll be fine.

I just saw him briefly after the game. It was kind of a whirlwind. I'm sure we'll talk in the next couple of days. I've never been one to stop anybody from having an opportunity to live out a dream ... If he wants any advice from me, I'd give it to him, but certainly the decision would be his.

I know it's that time of year, unfortunately. Russ is a good coach ? People think very highly of him. We're focused right now. We have to play next week, potentially on a short week. That's all we're focused on.

Gotta get the kids back to Fox Chapel by 1 o'clock. I was a head coach yesterday. I'm back to assistant coach for the next six months. My wife will tell me where to go, what to do, who to take.
