Yeah, 11 and 12 years ago doesn't equal 20 years ago. Nice try.

And looking at the whole body of work from either coach, Shanahan has more Super Bowls. Has only had two seasons that were below .500. While Cowher may or may not have a better winning percentage, it took him his whole career to win one Super Bowl. Mike turned the Broncos around in a short time and turned them into Super Bowl Champions.
