Let's think about the starting QB's he's had to work with during his tenure in Pittsburgh. Neil O'Donnell, Mike Tomczak, Kordell Stewart, and Tommy Maddox. All servicable, but...c'mon, that's one heck of a job he's done without a Super Bowl calibre QB.

Of course, now he's got player control, Rothli-something is his accountability. But even with turning the ball over too much, they woulda run all over the Eagles (IMO). Sucks to be in the same conference as New England.

Give some Super Bowl winning coaches the teams Cowher has had in Pittsburgh (say a Mike Holmgren), and they don't come close to his record. Give Cowher a Farve or Elway to manage those solid playoff teams he's had, and he's got 3 rings or so by now - even if he's not the game's best tactician.
