    If they fired him tomorrow, I would root for his replacement. What I don't do is make up crap.....so ......just because I don't like someone. I have never been into that weak a$$ stuff. If I don't like someone, I don't need excuses...., or to make up excuses.....I simply say.....I don't like them.....so with that said.....
    For the millionth time, why is it so hard to answer the question???
    In the history of the NFL , name Me an HC that has been to two SBs, and that has never had a losing season , get fired.

    They are not getting fired for not winning playoff games , they are getting fired for not getting there enough. You know so dang much....name Me a HC that has been to two SB, and never had a losing season that got fired???
    You can't do it, all You can do is bring something else up. Why??? Because teams don't do it. Yet you , and a bunch other want them to. If the Steelers listened to the bright boys back in Cowhers day....he would have never won a SB here, because they preached day in, and day out to get rid of him, because he couldn't win the big game.

    And if the Steelers listened to people like how You do now, back in the day, Cowher would have never won a SB here, because like people do with Tomlin now, they were doing with Cowher then. The boards were littered with, fire Cowher, he can't win the big game, his coaching Ideals are outdated....Those people don't want to admit it, but I freaking guarantee, some of those same people are on here right now talking about how great Cowher was.

    I wanted Cowher gone until about mid way through 2004 season. :lolol:

    Amazing how a good QB can make a HC look like a genius overnight.

    See....at least You are honest about it.:thumbs_up:
    I got accused of being Cowhers brother, mother, lover and, or father:lolol:, because I believed he could do it.
    Anyone that was on the boards know that back in the day before Ben, there were just as many people calling for His head , as there are now for Tomlins, they just don't like to admit it, because he won a SB , and proved them all wrong.

    Tomlin is a different story. Apples and Oranges. At least Cowher was overachieving for much of his career in the post season with average QBs like O'Donnell, Tomczak, Stewart and Maddox. Tomlin has had ample time and opportunity to right the ship since AFC Championship loss to Patriots after '16 and failed miserably. Plus, Cowher went 3 years maximum without a playoff victory. Tomlin on the other hand.....

    I could certainly see people calling for his head before Ben. I wasn’t on message boards back then. I think a lot of Steelers fans liked his hard nosed attitude though. As James Harrison said Mike Tomlin’s best attribute is he’s a players coach. Mike Tomlin’s worst attribute is he’s a players coach.

    It will almost undoubtedly be 9 years after this season unless 42 year old Rodgers defies logic.

    At least Cowher has a coaching tree, which is more than MT can say: Lebeau, Whiz, Mularkey, BA, Gilbride, Marv Lewis. Name one successful coordinator or HC that was hired by Tomlin. You can't say BA because he didn't hire him and Todd Haley doesn't count because he was already a HC before he came here. Fact is Tomlin is a damn joke and we all know he won a SB with Cowhers players so just give this babbling garbage up.

    We didn't make the playoffs in 2019. We were 8-5 and needed to win one of the final 3 games but lost them all to miss the playoffs.

    1st round scrub at that. Rattler a 5th rounder so he's already overachieved.

    I'm sure they cheated then too Hines Ward said it seemed like the Patriots already knew what plays they were running.

    I wanted the Steelers to get Fields last year but I'm not some member of his fan club. At least Fields got paid from the Jets, Rattler will be a career scrub QB3 :lolol:.
