'The NFL Today' is set to undergo change next season, but one legendary coach will be returning. When the 2025 NFL season kicks off, Bill Cowher will be back on CBS' pregame show. Cowher confirmed the move in a podcast appearance with media insider Richard Deitsch earlier this week.
"We all finished out last year not knowing exactly what the next year was going to be,” Cowher said, via Awful Announcing . “I know there was a Super Bowl run that we were on and we were trying to embrace the moment, but I think all of us knew at some point that there was going to be some change, because a lot of contracts were up. We really didn’t talk about it, all you try to do is embrace it.

“I always had a metric when I was coaching, it was wins and losses. Sometimes, I would walk away, ‘Was that a good show? Was that a good year?’ I don’t know. I guess it was.
Sometimes I wish I had more feedback because I don’t know what that metric is. But I’ve been here long enough to know ..
. the metric is how did you feel about how the chemistry of the show went? Did we have flow to that show?" The Super Bowl-winning coach said he just wanted to know whether or not he's appreciated and wanted before returning to the show for next season. "Whatever it was going to be, if I was going to be the person that was going to be asked [not to return], I get it.
Like I said before, all I want to know is I want to be appreciated and wanted,” Cowher said. “And when those days come where you’re not, and you’re held just because of a contract, that will never be a problem with me. I just want to be appreciated.
And along the way, just trying to build chemistry and try to take this new team we have to another level an be as good as we can be, that’s what I’m being asked to do. That’s the role that I have being on this set." Cowher is back for at least 2025.
