Bill Cowher recently visited a local school to speak to a class of 4th graders.
Coach Cowher asked all Steeler fans to raise their hands.
One boy did not raise his hand.
Coach asked the boy why.
The boy replied, "I'm a Ravens fan."
Coach was shocked, "You live in Pittsburgh but you're a Ravens fan. How can that be?"
The boy said, "Well, both my parents are Ravens fans, so I'm a Ravens fan."
Coach said, "That doesn't make sense. If your mother was a prostitute and your Father a drug dealer, what would that make you?"
The boy replied, "A Bengals fan."

The Rooneys have been batting a thousand. First, Chuck Noll and then Bill Cowher. It's really doubtful that his successor will join those two in the Hall.

Hope to see you in Raleighwood Bill.

Some teams have more coaches in a year than the Steelers have in my lifetime.

Anybody paying attention to this season knows he quit after last year.

Anybody paying attention to this season knows he quit after last year. Cowher didn't wreck Ben's motorbike or infect his appendix.
Cowher didn't make Polamalu's shoulder trouble all year.
Cowher didn't fumble the first Bengal game away on a punt.
Cowher did take a 2-6 team and keep their fire alive, resulting in a 6-2 second half. Had the Steelers been able to win one more game (say the turnover-laden Raider game or the OT game against Atlanta) they would be in the playoffs. And no one would be talking about how Cowher "quit."

Cowher's next coaching gig will be the Redskins, bank on it.

Cowher didn't have the fire until his last game with the Bengals. It was obvious to any who cared to pay attention.

Even though he never quite lived up to my personal view of a head coach, I've been happy and grateful to have coach Cowher. Of course, with Chuck Noll winning 4 Superbowls, Cowher would always be "less" unless he matched that mark. Not likely.
I also have a great appreciation for the Rooney family. I'm from Pittsburgh myself, and their family reminds me of my own family. They remind me of my parents and my 12 aunts and uncles, most of whom are alas, gone now..... I truly appreciate having an ownership that believes in family tradition and standing behind your people through thick and thin.

Perhaps you missed my point that you can't blame this year's performance on coaching. There were many extenuating circumstances.
Was Cowher conflicted this season? Yes. Did he "quit"? No more so than his team did.
How is Cowher showing enough emotion to satisfy you supposed to make Ricardo Colcough better suited for fielding punts? How does it stop Ben's cobwebs from throwing bad passes?

About a year ago in the Akron Beacon-Journal there was a column about why the Browns well, suck, and the gist of it was that the Cleveland mgmt lacks the Rooney attitude, that the Steeler organization is a family business that makes good, non-hasty decisions, builds loyal relationships and treats their employees to that end. It was a pretty scathing indictment against the Browns and written in Cleveland - the columnist probably got fired. :)

Don't even joke about that. He is headed for the Browns... please God, let him be headed for the Browns.
