of wrong on Tomlin.

Tomlin won the Super Bowl in his second season, not his first.

As far as them being Cowher's players, Cowher shat the bed with those same players in his last season by starting 2-6 and missing the playoffs.
Cowher shat the bed in the 1994 AFC title game against the 9 point dog Chargers.
Cowher shat the bed in the 2001 AFC title game against the 10 point dog Pats; largely due to the special teams snafus that he failed to fix for the entire season.

Cowher underachieved every bit as much as Tomlin has, especially considering Cowher had both the Bus and Lebeau's defense in their prime.
I will grant you Tomlin has underachieved over his tenure. Terrible is overstating it.
