This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

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.
