Because Ben had already won a Super Bowl and appeared in 2 conference championship games before the reign of Popcorn.
Is this a troll post? Ben Roethlisberger was developed under Cowher and Whisenhunt. Arians continued it. Popcorn had zero to do with it.
But Popcorn says it's the best coaching job on the planet. :shrug:
Steelers missed a good opportunity to move on and adjust to the modern day NFL. Steelers are not winning another playoff game with Popcorn at HC.
I'm still pissed that Rooney didn't fire Popcorn and hire the current Bears HC after '24 season.
Steelers would have had at least 2 playoff wins from 2018-present with a HC with a background in offense like what Rams, Bears (now), 49ers,...
Who? Gailey was promoted to HC and hired by Cowboys. Gillbride? Mularkey?
I miss the Cowher days. Cowher fired people just about every year. Whatever happened to this?
I like the yellow helmets, black jersey and white pants Steelers wore when they an elite team from '05-'10. Seems like every time we wore those...
I agree with this... but Steelers need another WR for insurance in case Roman Wilson is a bust.
Marching band or Rock band? :lolol:

Steelers won a lot of playoff games and appeared in many conference championships from 1980-2004. Can't say that about the past 8 years.
I'm patient... but we've had coach Popcorn for about 7 years too long. It's time to move on.
Yep. Last game of the season in '03 vs Ravens was lost in OT. Steelers tried like hell to win that game. I remember it.
Khan deserves the praise/criticism for the Pickens trade.... however you look at it. As much as I like to rip on Popcorn... this trade wasn't on...
I don't think the Steelers are gonna tank.... they are just not gonna win many games. Steelers will compete, but lose to the better teams. I can...
Hell.... I miss the killer B days of 2014-17. Steelers underachieved and suffered some terrible injuries..... but it's way better than present day.
Steelers were bad in the '98 & '99 seasons.... but they had some damn good drafts even though Troy Edwards busted after '01. Lots of SBXL and...
2020 and 2018 were not so great either. 1983 was a disaster because of the Rivera accident and passing on Marino. Had Rivera played.... he...
