    But in the case of Cowher if he would have stayed, the best would have been to come, a bit like Andy Reid right now in Kansas City.

    15-1 in 2004,super bowl in 2005,bad season in 2006 but he had no longer the focus and passion he had before for obvious reasons and Ben's accident didn't help with our bad season but if Cowher still had the passion and focus that he had, no doubt he would have still had a lot of success with us

    Cowher could have had a late mini dynasty if Big Ben was not recreating fast and the furious on a motorcycle because the d was the best in the league when you could still win that way. I think his wife health issues were taking a toll on him and he looked exhausted. MT is trying to win same way now and it does not work. Win a playoff game or get out should be mantra for Steelers this year.

    When did Pat coach and write the book? Was it before the modern day NFL free agency era? Cowher left of his own terms. Cowher's wife had cancer. He choose family at that point of his life.

    Do you realize that a large majority of NFL rosters have turnover every 4 to 5 seasons? The Steelers team from 4 or 5 years ago is different than the team that lined up in 2023. The team that will line up in 2024 will be different. The Steelers have 3 different players at the QB position for 2024. Let's say Riley couldn't foresee the impact of free agency or trades on the game.

    Khan doesn't control Tomlin's contract extension. Only Rooney has that type of power.

    Tomlin could have had a dynasty if Ben played like say Mahommes.

    This is hard to be one of the 3-4 best QB of all-time despite to play only 6 seasons as starter....
