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

[/ QUOTE ]Your kidding, right?

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.

While it may be the philosophy of some owners, it's far from the universal truth you suggest.

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.
