According to Adam Gold at 850 The Buzz, Bill Cowher will remove his name from consideration for the NC State job during his weekly press conference today. I'll post the link to the press conference when it is available online.The Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette ran this on Sunday:

The interesting thing is that it only mentions NFL jobs, and does not once mention NC State. It might be a little shortsighted on their part, and a mention may have been warranted, but I am guessing they are closer to Cowher than we are right now.
My take on this is that it is going down exactly as expected. Going into this, there are two logical schools of thought on how Cowher would conduct himself. If he is not going to take the job, and it is his for the taking, then he will say so right away so that NC State can get a jump on the other candidates. If he is interested, then Chuck Neinas would begin the negotiations to bring Cowher home. This is one of the things that makes Cowher so attractive to me. He will not play any games with State, he will come right out and make his intentions known. If he does not address it in his weekly press conference, that will be a very good sign for Wolfpack Nation.
As for the other candidates out there, our friends at Red & White did a great breakdown with an NC State slant to it. Saved me a lot of time...
UPDATE
Well, the presser came and went. From what I have gathered there was no mention of NC State at all. Keep in mind that this was his weekly presser, and it is a Steeler show not a Cowher show. I still think that if we do not hear a public no from Cowher by the end of the week that things are looking good for Wolfpack Nation. Throw this gem on top of it all:

I do not know who this guy is, but he seems to have an ax to grind with Cowher.
