Cowher to stay at CBS Sports

Bill Cowher doesn't plan to coach in the NFL next year, and will stay with CBS Sports as a studio analyst. Cowher was recently wooed by the New York Jets, but said during "The NFL Today" on Sunday that he's taking it "year to year.

"It's a privilege and an honor to be a head coach in the National Football League," Cowher said. "And I have been flattered about the attention, but the timing right now is not right. I don't plan on coaching next year."

The Super Bowl-winning coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006, Cowher took himself out of the running as a candidate for the Jets job on Dec. 30. He also was a candidate for the vacant Cleveland job, but asked to be taken off the list. CBS Sports will broadcast the 2010 Super Bowl in Miami.

Parcells to remain with Dolphins

Bill Parcells is staying with the Miami Dolphins, owner Wayne Huizenga said.

After the team's playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Huizenga said Parcells has decided to remain for another season.

Parcells' contract allows him to leave and still receive the $9-12 million remaining on his four-year contract if the franchise is sold. That sale is expected to be completed soon.

But Huizenga said Parcells told him Friday he plans to remain as executive vice president of football operations.

Boston College stuns Tarheels

Rice scored 25 points and Rakim Sanders added 22 to help Boston College shock North Carolina 85-78 on Sunday night, likely ending the Tarheels' run atop the early season polls with a surprisingly easy one-sided road victory.
