Bill's a couple absolute QB meltdowns from like two rings I think.

Exactly. He cant be unlucky talent wise forever, eventually it will all come together. He should be praised for keeping the Steelers competitive. He is one of the best coaches in the league along with Parcells.

Who do you suggest that is available and would be an improvement?

Cowher is at least in the top 3rd of coaches in the league, a surefire better option won't come along too often if ever. They have less to gain than they do to lose by switching.

I said he was a good coach, (reread my post), but if he was going to win a super bowl in pittsburgh it would have happened already.If you want to win a super bowl before 2020, he must go. But if your happy with just making the playoffs give him a lifetime deal.

Pro sports isn't about winning championships to the owners of the team.

Have the Steelers revenues been dropping? Are the games not selling out?

The idea is to put a competetive enough team on the field to draw fans to make the most money w/o having to pay to make it to the championship.

Calahan couldn't win a super bowl at all,but his owner spent money. Cower could win one if he was with an organization that would spend some money, unfortunately he's with a cheap operation. He's better than switzer was. Were I think cower will never win it all in pittsburgh, there is someone out there who could.

Don't confuse making the super bowl with being able to win it. Just ask dan reeves or marv levy, when pittsburgh went under Cower they were maybe the 4th best team in the league.

And what has parcells ever won without Belichick?

That's my point, it's all about money in pittsburgh? Hey plax, sorry, we can't afford you. Think this happens in dallas or new england?

Is there any reasoning that supports this statement or did it just sound good when you thought it up?

No, I'm not. It's business. The idea is to make the most money with the least investment. You don't need to win a championship to make tons of money or make the team more profitable to sell. You just have to do enough to draw fans and interest.

If the team is making consistent money, and increasing in value, there is little to gain by spending more to gain only little in return when the return on the investment is about the same. Study the Seattle Mariners last 10 years for this. Note particularly Howard Lincoln.

I could't find a coach who went 10 seasons in the same city without winnig a championship, then all of a sudden won one. I think in the right place cower could be footballs joe torre. It is an opinion though and until he leaves or wins one it's all speculation.

You didn't look very hard. Tom Landry guided Dallas to its first Superbowl title in his 12th season.
