Troy watched a lot of film

Calls out Ed Reed as a model a few times. Says Ed Reed talked about watching film when he was in college, and Troy listened. Super humble as always and talks about his approach - "You've got to have a student mindset in this sport. You're not going to be original in anything. There's a lot of great players who have done great things."

I imagine he would get frustrated by players who didn't invest in film study. We'll never know. I don't recall him ever calling out anyone. I think he talked about a different culture at the Steelers when he left, but that's about it.

 

Culture changed when Cowher's players retired.

 

That culture only won one Super Bowl with Cowher

 

Tomlin was a "poor-mans" Cowher IMO.

Cowher finally got a top tier QB late in his career and quickly won a Super Bowl.

Even got to one and barely lost with second tier Neil O`dummy.

I liked the way he got the team ready to play.

Tomlin did the win one-lose one too, but he had Ben a long time.

I doubt the media looks at it that way, but I rank Cowher higher than Tomlin based on what I saw.

 

?!


So being both diligent, consistent, studious and persevering in one's studies will make one even better; doubly so if they have talent?!?!

 

Tomlin won 1 with Cowher's players.

Cowher won 1 with Noll's players.

McCarthy will win 1 with Tomlin's players.
