all i'm saying is you can't give a head coach too much credit or too much blame for his success in the nfl. true some coaches are better than others but it takes more than just a good hc to make the playoffs year after year and to be able to compete for a super bowl.

you act as if cower is a better coach than shanny just because the steelers were a bit more succssful.
