Even Landry only took Dallas to the Playoffs 8 times in his first 15 years. But he probably only took his team to the playoffs 16 years out of 28.

If you want to talk about consistency go find me a coach that was in the playoffs every year of his career over 15 years.

Do not knock Cowher. While we made the playoffs, a bunch of other teams are sitting at home saying wish we could of got to at least 1 game in the playoffs.

Dont forget Schottenheimer.

Cowher is the man - I think the only knock you could put on him is his inconsistency in the playoffs - he's had a hard time in big playoff games, but to say he's inconsistent looking at his entire career - IMO, is inaccurate - he has been a great coach - how many pro sports teams can say they've had 2 head coaches since 1969 with as many wins as the Steelers?

Schot been in the league what 22 years working on 23, and has a 5 and 12 record in the playoffs. And has never coached a team in the SB. Schot is known to build a playoff team but never could get to the next level and make the SB.

Schottenheimer is consistent too - think of all the coaches in the league that have never made it into the playoffs period
