Little harsh for a guy that got us number 5 right?

If this really is a secret motivational ploy by Cowher(I doubt), thanks, but I think you're a season too late to coach and motivate, Bill. This isn't your team anymore. Leave us be.

Like Jerome became the 'Media Bus' in 2006, Cowher has now become the 'Media Chin'. They're one of "them" now.

Nope...Ok Cowher finally got the one for a thumb....But actually Super Bowl XL should have been the 6th or 7th or 8th Super Bowl title in Steelers history.....Look at all those AFC title games losses and it just makes you wonder what could have been?

I totally blame Neil for Super Bowl XXX....lol

Or at least 7 or 8 Super Bowl appearances instead of 6.

1994 is inexcusable. That was an awesome Steeler team.
1995 I blame Neil on.
1997...I really have no idea how that happened.
2001 was a nightmarish abortion.
2004 we just simply lost straight up.

don't forget who got us to those champ games

Theres got to be part of Cowher that wants to see the team struggle. It's human nature. If Tomlin lights it up and the Steelers go on to more success than with Cowher it will obviously take away from his legacy.

The 94 loss to the Chargers was the worst in my mind...Even worse then Super Bowl XXX....The Steelers were better then the Chargers and I really think that Blitzburgh D would have gave the 94 49ers offense some fits.....

The 97 loss to the Broncos stings since we beat the Broncos in the regular season that year....Plus Bettis would have ran through that Packer D just like Terrell Davis did.....

As for the 2001 loss to the Pats...Yes Kordell has his usual play-off stinker.......But giving up two special teams TDs is just embarrassing especially since Cowher was supposed to be special teams guru...lol I also think the Steelers would have beaten the Rams like the Pats did.....

The 2004 loss to the Pats...The Pats were better and I didn't expect the Steelers to win with a rookie QB......Even though that was magical year and it seemed the Steelers would find a way to win every week....

I'll give you that his sucsess in AFCC games is not what it could have been but at the same time name me a coach that could have done as well as he did with Kordell Stewart. Not to freakin many.

So what.........Yea its great to go to 6 AFC title games and only win 2.....Especially since 5 of those games were in the Burgh....lol

I'm glad Cowher is gone and it was long over due......I was a huge Cowher fan at onetime.....He was a very good football coach...But he sucked in big games...Thats his legacy to me.....A Super Bowl XL win doesn't erase all those other let downs...lol

Yes the players deserve blame also but I also put blame on the coaches as well.....

I'd rather be in the AFCC game on what was a pretty regular basis than be a team that comes up quick and wins it all but falls apart and fades into oblivion for 5,6, or 7 years before theur ready to compete again.
