Cowher wanted/wants the Carolina Job, but after last season, Fox saved his job so Cowher sits. Being surrounded by Steelers fans on all Three sides of my house, I can tell you that he didnt win a damn thing for a long time, and they, after last year, are still fine WITHOUT him. He was a product of that organization, and I am glad we got Rex instead. The Head Coach being the GM thing is of the past, look at Seattle and how that worked out. :sad:
i think mostly the rooneys justr know how to run a team very well. i also believe credit needs to be given to mike tomlin. he came off the dungy tree of tampa 2 defeners and went into that situation and said you know what Lebeau do your damn thing. left that defense in place. further more he seems like a no bullshit guy who at the same time treats his players like peers and not employees, while at the same time knowing how to get a good gameplan together. of course the roster is well rounded and loaded with talent. but i think norv turner is also an example of teams laden with talent that just cant get it done. so that would be my counterpoint. as far as cowher goes me and vickblows had the conversation and right off the bat i said cowher or rex ryan. after cowher bowed out, i remember telling him during the ravens/phins game. I want Rex Ryan, and he needs to bring bart scott and brian leonhard with him. my dreams came true. and furthermore the plenty of "enough of the rah rah, i want results!" attitude other posters are taking over the fact we finally got a Head Coach with Bravado who knows his x's and o's without a doubt and talks just like any well educated football fan would and is straight to the point. granted, it could blow up in his face, but I have too much faith in what hes done in his career and the kind of culture hes already establishing to beleive it happens barring injuries to key players. mangini's motto was, lets hard work , no grins, lets get the job done. and when my actually good gameplan before kickoff requires adjustment later on, give me some bubble gum rex ryan's more like, hard work is a given, the best players play with passion and this game is meant to be fun. but whats the funnest of all, dominating. i also really like the fact hes making everyone room together and a solo room is a 1 man privilege. sends the message that were all in this together, and the person who works the hardest, will be the person to make that play for us to seal a game. the key to his judgement though will be how Schotty JR handles the offense cause the impression is out of Respect for the position Rex was in last year before Harbaugh came in, hes just going to let him run his show on offense. lets hope mangini and favres abrupt arrival was the problem . i think it most likely was. point in case. Rex Ryan is the shit and the only way my opinion on that changes is if this team is the joke of the league next yr. this has been a educated rambling, thanks for tuning in.
Holmgren gave Seattle division championships and a SB appearance. I think many jets fans would take the same exact thing.
