As i stated over and over again, cowhers teams not only made the playoffs more times than shanahan (66% of the time vs 47%), but when his teams made the playoffs, they actually won games. shanahan didnt. there's an even greater disparity if you look at just the last 3, 5 and 10 years. Shanahan had most of his success early in his career. cowher had more success recently. its a "what have you done for me lately" league and cowhers done MUCH more lately. Both are better than Zorn, but Cowher is immensely better than Shanahan.

Dude, Shanahan was 8-5 in the playoffs. Again, he won 8 games in the playoffs.

You cannot say Shanahan didn't win in the playoffs.

Once again -- check the trophy case. Shanahan: 2, Cowher: 1

Advantage: Shanahan.
