Bill Cowher never got the chance to coach Antonio Brown, as he retired four years before the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Antonio Brown in the 2010 NFL Draft.
However, Cowher still hopes that the Steelers work things out with the disgruntled wide receiver.
“I’m hopeful that at some point, in my opinion, that coach Mike Tomlin, Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger will get in a room, shut the door and air their differences, and talk about where they are and see if there’s any way they can get aligned moving forward,” said Cowher, according to Ed Bouchette of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Cowher thinks that because Brown, Roethlisberger and Tomlin are all grown men, they will be able to reach an understanding:
“Because there’s a window of time here,” he said. “These are not 24- and 25-year olds. They’ve done too much for that organization to allow this degree of frustration, which I believe it is. I think there needs to be some separation, some time. Unfortunately in this transparent world we’re in with everything else we have in social media, things are said, things are done, things get misinterpreted that sometimes time needs to be the healer of this.”
There is definitely plenty of time.
The offseason does not really kick off until March, meaning the Steelers and Brown have over a month to talk things out and come to an agreement, which they may very well have been working on already.
Recently, momentum has been building toward Brown potentially returning to Pittsburgh in 2019.
