Cowher's daughter is currently a junior in high school down here in the Triangle.

My bet is he stays put until she graduates and then he is on the move again.

COULD COWHER COACH PENN STATE?

Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher is expected to get back in the football coaching game in 2009. Most likely, that would involve working for whatever NFL owner is willing to give him the best combination of multimillion-dollar salary and control over personnel decisions.

But Cowher could also decide to coach in college. And we've heard from some Penn State fans who are extremely excited about the possibility that he could return to Pennsylvania.

The Penn State football web site Laschout.com reported Monday that Cowher was on the campus at Penn State on February 24 and 25, and that he stayed overnight at the home of Athletic Director Tim Curley. And then the site reported today that this real estate listing is for Cowher's home in North Carolina. Might Cowher be putting that home on the market because he plans to be coaching elsewhere 10 months from now?

At this point, it's too early to say. Joe Paterno is 81 years old, and some observers think he's heading into his final season. Then again, "some observers" have thought that for the last decade. But taking over for Paterno would likely be seen as an attractive opportunity for Cowher, and Cowher would definitely be seen as an attractive candidate for Penn State.
