Who do you want Emery to talk to about being the Bears HC?

The guy has it made.

Only his ego would pull him out of there. And with him, it's always a possibility.

Plus, there isn't the time investment in announcing that there is as a coach.

But if he fails, he has lots of downside and it may hurt his ESPN gig too. Better to be a legend that everyone wants than to go out and try to prove it and possibly fail.

If he really wanted to be a coach, he would. Since he apparently would rather sit in his cushy chair, I'd say he would probably have been a bad choice. People do best at what they really want to do. He would rather stay an announcer. Coaching at this point would be all downside and no upside.

Probably a good decision on his part.

Oh, I'm with ya. I'll even take it one step further and say that he's a mixture of what George Seifert and Jeff Fisher were/are. He inherited a SB ready team, then they leveled off.

I also have a feeling that Cowher will never coach again, either.

Edit: except that Fisher didn't inherit a SB team. I used him as an example of a highly esteemed guy that was just kinda there and filled a playoff spot every other year.
