Jan. 5, 2007, 4:03 p.m.I hope Russ Grimm takes over. It would be nice to get a local guy in there.

Jan. 5, 2007, 5 p.m.From what I've read, next year he'll go to the highest bidder. Someone to pay at least 8 million or more a year like Seahawks coach gets. As a Browns fan I'll hate to see him go because I will miss the scowl on his face when he loses. LOL

Jan. 5, 2007, 10:24 p.m.yeah, well against your Browns, that is not very often. no offense, but the Browns as of late are not much better than our Cardinals and with a good coach, our cards will go very far. on paper, the Cards blow away the Browns... Cleveland has not improved much under Romeo... kinda disappointing, but you, like us, will get a very high draft pick this year... again. lol

Jan. 5, 2007, 5:01 p.m.I think the steelers need a better coach anyway. Cowher never showed me anything outstanding playoofs and the super bowl were met mostly by the teams talent not his leadership. Course I am spoiled by Belicheck and his genius.

Jan. 5, 2007, 5:53 p.m.I like Cowher, a real hardnosed straight shooting guy.
You can bet he don't take no mess.
Good luck Bill.

Jan. 5, 2007, 10:28 p.m.Cowher was perfect for the Burgh. The Steelers will really miss him in years to come. My guess is he will end up in Washington, New York or possibly even Oakland.
Thanks for everything, Coach Bill. From a longtime (three decades-plus) diehard Steelers fan.
P.S.>>> you were robbed in Super Bowl XXX here in the Valley, so in my estimation, you have TWO Lombardi trophies... Neal O'Donnel fixed that game - and I have the tape to prove it.

Jan. 5, 2007, 10:59 p.m.Nah. Cower's way too smart to try to coach for Al Davis. I was shocked Art Shell went there a second time.
That site where you fix Bill's face is kind of fun. I had him looking pretty hunky!

In reality, if Indy's reliable kicker had not missed a chip shot field goal, Indy would have probable been in last years Super Bowl.
