Bill Cowher Decision Quotations

Whatever happens, and you kind of deal with the circumstances that you are dealt with. I think, at this point, that is the mindset that we have to have and we will deal with whatever decisions or other choices we have at that time. I am not going to waste any time thinking about that or talking about that.

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 thought the game slowed down for him this week. He made good decisions and looked comfortable out there. When you've been out that long, you have to get back up to game speed.

It's a legitimate question, ... As the second half unfolded, unfortunately we did not have Jerome in the game. I wish I would have gotten him in.

Our ability to create some indecision with (Carson Palmer) will be very important for us.

If that's the right situation for him, I would talk. If he wants any advice from me, I'd give it to him. Certainly the decision would be his and I'd share with him any advice that I would give to him. We'll see what happens and we'll go from there.

I haven't really made a decision at this point. That'll be a game-day decision.

On a fourth-and-one with a guy like Jerome Bettis, it's an easy call to make. Down around the goal, he's got a great feel for that. As long as the ball was on the one or inside the one, it was really an easy decision to make.

They are all very unselfish guys and that certainly will make my job easier (in choosing who plays). While it's a tough decision to make, they have recognized it, and, that position has epitomized the unselfishness on this team the last couple of years.
