Cowher lost the Super Bowl in 1995, won it in 2005.

6 more years people.  I knew that once Cowher and Dungy won Super Bowls that we'd never get rid of Reid.

The difference is their recipe for winning football games works, Reid's does not.

I am not defending reid at all...but people here have what happened with cowher all wrong. He was despised in pittsburgh until they won the supe... 3 home AFCCG loses at home, 1 Superbowl loss (and a terrible one at that where most of the people there still believe that ODonnell threw that game)

Most were livid with ben rothlisberger pick too...

The the career of Cowher and Reid were and are pretty similar. (taken on a year by year comparison)

The thing that I dont understand is after all these horrific games,  Reid would realize that when you keep publicly   blaming yourself for having guys in the wrong position that you look even more stupid as an NFL coach than perceived

He either:
a) doesnt give care anymore and has his house on the market
b) thinks the players will like him more
c) is told to say that
d) is really that farging stupid

ice grillin you

wow you couldnt be more off he was not despised at all...sure he got criticized for the playoff losses as they were very frustrating...but no one was blaming him for the losses due to horrible coaching decisions they were just frustrated in a general sense

my college roomate and one of my best friends is the biggest steeler fan ever and he would school your silly ass for comparing reid and cowher and how their respective cities viewed them


that said they are similar in that they remained with one team for a long time and had some frustrating post season losses but really how many coaches who are in the league that long dont


the better comparison to cowher would be jeff fisher where as reid compares more favorably to marty schottenheimer

They also had 4 past Super Bowl wins to console themselves with whereas we don't have bupkiss.

Stop the excuses and just fire that lardass.

PS: Cowher's principles were twofold: Run the ball well and kill the opposing team defensively.  But sure, that wouldn't work in Philly.

All of my friends that are Steelers fans never wanted him fired, yes they were frustrated, but they loved the Chin.

They also weren't too bad at year-over-year talent re-loads - often needed as they lost their "finds" to big market teams.

I don't want marshmallows fried in pure lard, thank you very much.

MadMarchHare

You don't stick them in the lard.  You hover them over.  It'll be like smoking them.

Smoked marshmallows.....mmmmmm.
