His wife didn't die until three and a half years after he retired.

He didn't run the drafts: That was Dan Rooney, Tom Donahoe and later, Kevin Colbert.
And Pittsburgh's drafts have been poor the past ten years. They didn't draft a first round QB for 24 years.

Cowher's 55 years old and has been out of the game since December 2006. I don't think he would adapt well to the current pass-happy league.
