I was going to say that would limit it to a very small number of coaches, but it's actually a decent sized list: Noll, Landry, Parcells, Gibbs, Lombardi, Johnson, Belicheck, Shula, Walsh, Flores, Siefert, and Shanahan.

What could hurt him I suppose if he, like Parcells, keeps coming back. Then the committe would be disinclined to vote him in only because they think he's just going to coach again. With Gibbs, everyone was certain he wasn't coming back so it was easy to vote him in.

My gut says Cowher is back coachig in 2008

It's 5 years for coaches too, right? Parcells never took more than a couple years off, so he's never been eligible, AFAIK TAFKAS. (sorry - couldn't resist the extended acroynm)
