Saw one of my buddies who I lived with in college last night and talked to him about Cowher.

He said that we'd likely be really disappointed with him. He mentioned that while he is always shown in pictures with those intense looks and poo, he is actually pretty mellow and he thought that he would be even more mellow now that he has been out of football for a couple of years.

He talked about how Cowher wasn't really even that good of a coach, took him 16 years to win a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh. Apparently Cowher didn't even want to draft Roethlisberger but wanted Shawn Andrews instead. He is a believer in the philosophy that you do not need a star quarterback to win games (sound familiar?).

Overall, said he was definitely not nearly as good of a coach as he is hyped up to be.

interesting. not sure that would be welcome around here.

funny that while they were consistently good and in the playoffs they didn't really become serious contenders until they got big ben. if it is true that cowher didn't want him then he wouldn't have had a ring right now had cowher had his way.

go ahead and bring on one of the young guys. no retreads, please.

Maybe Cowher is a big believer you need a star quarterback now. Considering he needed one.

Too bad Roethlisberger was far from a star at that time. He has since proven himself but he was horrid in the super bowl. He was 9 of 21 for 123 yards, 0 TD 2 INT, I think had the worst QB in super bowl history.

      I feel like we are running out of time on dodging this bullet.  It will be us within 5 years or less imo.

      Brother, I don't have a clue about what to watch, Ive been victim to too many "reality TV" scams. Bear Grylls was the last straw for me.... wait a second I did watch early pawn stars for about 6 full seasons. That slop 90 Day Fiance, Temptation Island, and marriage at first sight shows should be banned. Total trash that get insane ratings.  The last series I watched with GREAT joy and excitement was the first Dexter series on showtime. They do not make any TV movie slop for me in the last 20 or so years. New Dexter was a complete joke. Besides having one gem hidden each year, example I liked dune..... but Im a Syfy junkie.  Hell recently Im on the wine mom schedule with murder shows Forensic Files, dateline, any murder shows copies. My TV/movies knowledge is 20 years ago when history channel had Modern Marvels, MTV played music videos, and BET had Comic View. My gods do I miss those days... Plus Im on a terrible Habit with YouTube shorts, I need to do better...... Sucks being a old soul in this era.

      Idk maybe. Guys like Favre, Rodgers, Brees also only having 1 kinda takes the heat off the Colts only getting 1 with Manning. And none of those QBs had to deal with the Pats dynasty or Steelers/Ravens mini-dynasties (no they are not dynasties but both those teams were in the mix pretty much every year in the AFC and both won 2 SBs in Manning’s career). Honestly think if the Manning Colts were in the NFC they’d have won 2-3.   An elite QB is a big deal but you still have to build a team around them. They could’ve been like the Dolphins with Marino.
