[quote=waiting for bottom]Cowher first 3 years: 32-16, zero Super Bowls, two home playoff losses. 1-3 in playoffs overall.
Tomlin first 3 years: 28-17 with 3 left. 1 Super Bowl, one home playoff loss. 3-1 in playoffs overall.
With objective data, how can you say Cowher was better?[/quote]
Except the data aren’t objective. Tomlin took over from Cowher, who had painstakingly built/rebuilt the Steelers during his tenure. In other words, Tomlin inherited a stable, winning organization from Cowher.
Speaking objectively, it could/can be argued that Tomlin’s first two seasons were largely continuations of the Cowher program.
I’m not trying to bash Tomlin, although it may appear so, but I’d ask you this, as a Steelers fan: Is this the same team to you? I’m not a Steelers fan, but I respect that organization tremendously, especially going back to my days as a kid in the 1970s and watching the Raiders and Steelers duke it out (my Raiders would have at least another two Superbowl rings, if not for the Steelers of the ’70s).
Gradkowski and the Raiders had no business whatsoever beating the Steelers, and in Pittsburgh to boot! Mangini is a stupid clown and Pittsburgh should have handily wiped the floor with the Brownies. This is a team in disarray and removing objectivity and just talking as a fan, don’t you see that?
