Despite having an expiring contract, former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher will remain on The NFL Today with a revamped cast. Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms will not return to the show, while Matt Ryan will join host James Brown, Cowher, Nate Burleson and J.J. Watt, who will remain on the show on a part-time basis. The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reported the news.
There were rumors that changes could be coming to the show after the Super Bowl, and those have come to fruition but not involving Cowher. Ryan was an analyst for select CBS games last season, and with his new gig, he’s unlikely to return to that role.
