    No fool. The SB is the most important.

    O'Donnell did not win the super bowl under Noll...Same thing for the rest of the team.They make the playoffs only once in the previous 7 years under Noll.They had very little experience....Not good comparaison with the team of 2007 who had super bowl experience just 2 seasons before!

    He didn't win the SB under Cowher either.
    Again, no cherry picking, just every single game that they coached all together.

    Cowher: 161- 99- 1, and 2 SB appearances, and 1 SB win.
    Tomlin: 201- 125- 2, and 2 SB appearances, and 1 SB win.

    Only a person that chooses feelings over facts would say with those facts that one is better than the other.

    Last time I checked, a team in the AFC or NFC has to win at least 2 playoff games to get to a Super Bowl. 2 games if team is #1 seed. 3 games if team is #2-7 seed. :shrug:

    Last I checked a team has to win enough games to get to the playoffs to win those games.
    Here is a simple approach to the season.
    Preseason: Get out healthy, and pick the correct players to make the 53. Nothing else matters.
    Regular Season: Win enough games to make the playoffs, and hopefully 1st seed. Nothing else matters.
    Playoffs: Win enough games to make the SB. Nothing else matters.
    Regular

    Tomlin has a slightly higher winning percentage over Cowher .628 to .623 but Cowher has a significant higher preseason percentage .571 to .421

    One had a franchise QB for most of his career and one was without one for most of his career.

    I dont think stats tells the whole picture anyway, most of us here got to see both coach and for me, Cowher was better.

    I don't think there's any real argument to this, here on Earth One. Cowher was clearly and obviously the better coach.

    As the years go by... time and circumstances will verify this.
