Great find. Shows what hypocrites the whining Steeler apologists on this thread are. So Cowher did in 2002 EXACTLY what this thread is bashing Holmgren for, complete with the skipped handshake.

Cowher upset with 'ludicrous' penalty call

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Bill Cowher didn't have time to shake hands with Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher after the game. He was too busy running after referee Ron Blum. Once again, officiating caused a ruckus at the end of an NFL playoff game. And this time, Cowher was on the wrong end. This is what set him off: Titans kicker Joe Nedney missed a 31-yard field goal early in overtime Saturday, but got another chance when cornerback Dewayne Washington was given a 5-yard penalty for running into the kicker. On the next play, with the Steelers trying to call timeout, Nedney's kick gave the Titans a 34-31 win. "For a game to be decided on that call is ludicrous,'' Cowher said. "And for me to have to explain to an official what's reviewable and what's not is wrong. Fine me if you want. That's the truth.'' (snip)

"It's the playoffs, there is a lot at stake. If anyone should be ready, then it should be them.'' Pittsburgh linebacker Joey Porter said: "He should lose his job for that.''(snip)
