Bill Cowher Leaving CBS To Coach The Browns?
SPORTSbyBROOKS — ... Bill Cowher has been sitting around laughing at bad jokes for two years now in the “NFL Today” studio, which means it’s probably just about time to cut loose from Marino and Esiason and get back on the field, even if it is for the Browns, the hated rival of his former Steelers.

Given the frustration in the front office, this is not entirely a far-fetched rumor, but its not substantiated either. It should also be noted that Cowher himself played-for and then coached Browns (i.e. present-day Ravens) as an assistant from 1980-88. Cowher thinks it over.

Cleveland Browns Courting Bill Cowher?
Every Morning Quarterback — ... I don’t doubt the validity of the offer, but I question whether coach Cowher wants to return to the game. At that rate of compensation, and if he would have the control he wants (meaning Browns GM Phil Savage would probably be ousted), it would have to be pretty tempting. My guess is that he won’t say a word about it until after the season if over. At that time, look for negotiations to heat up. I believe coach Cowher will be back on NFL sidelines in 2009.

Simply put, this CAN NOT happen. Ugh...
