Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher agrees to meet with Jets to discuss Gang Green's coaching vacancy.

The Jets are interested in former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, and Cowher is interested in talking with the Jets about their head-coaching vacancy.

The Jets and Cowher have agreed to meet to discuss the job, a team source said. It's unclear when that meeting will take place.

A potential obstacle in a Jets-Cowher marriage could be the role of GM Mike Tannenbaum. Sources say Cowher would want to bring his own personnel guy.

Tannenbaum will step down as GM if necessary.

Scratch that....reports now say he is not interested.

Marty! Marty!
