Personally I would rather the Redskins hire GW, and while there may be some speculation as to who truly deserves the credit for the Steeler's Super Bowl victory, I think we're downplaying Cowher's accomplishments as a head coach. We can critize him for hanging on to Stewart too long, among other things, but to suggest that he has been anything but a consistent winner over the course of his career is simply incorrect. There have been comments made that suggest winning the Super Bowl was the only thing he's ever done. In his 15 seasons of head coaching, he won 8 division championships and 2 conference championships. He took his team to the Conference championship SIX times in 15 seasons. That's more times than Gibbs, Belichick and Parcells. It's hard to suggest that his plethora of division titles were a result of a weak division, in light of the fact that he consistently took his teams deep into the playoffs.

I'd prefer to have GW, but I certainly wouldn't be upset with Cowher.
