Steelers lucky to have Mike Tomlin as coach

[stillers4me]

Coach A had a 71-41 record and won five division titles in his first seven NFL seasons. He was 5-6 in the postseason, including 1-2 in AFC championship games. His 1995 team lost to Dallas in Super Bowl XXX.

Coach B is 71-41 with three division titles in his first seven NFL seasons. Amazing coincidence, right? He is 5-2 in the postseason, including 2-0 in AFC championship games. His 2008 team beat Arizona to win Super Bowl XLIII, making him, at 36, the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl. His 2010 team lost to Green Bay in Super Bowl XLV.

Coach A is Bill Cowher, in case you hadn’t guessed. He coached eight more seasons with the Steelers, finishing with a 149-90-1 record and eight division championships. He was 12-9 in the postseason. His 2005 team won Super Bowl XL.

And Coach B?.........

Yes, and for that matter, so was Cowher. If Cowher had been with just about any other team he probably would have been sent packing back around '99 or '00.
