Bill Cowher has confirmed he won't return to the NFL as a head coach for the 2015 season.

"It was great this year to be on the sidelines for some of the Thursday games (for CBS) and get to be up close to it," he told SiriusXM NFL Radio, via ESPN.com. "You see the officials, you see some of the assistant coaches ... it does get your blood going. But no, I'm in a really good place. I really enjoy my job at CBS. I'm enjoying all the involvement with that and the Thursday football.

"It's good. I'm in a good place. You're not going to see me on the sidelines. I enjoy it, I miss it, but not enough to get back."

Cowher has been linked to the New York Giants for years, but they don't appear likely to move on from Tom Coughlin.
