Biiig dif between him & Tomlin. Talked a lot about the importance of hiring good assistants. Said words to the effect of the assistants coach the players and he coaches the assistants. Couple things I had forgotten...first had Ron Earhart as OC but Chan gailey was de facto OC....I remember he fired Earhart after going to the SB in 95...then lost gailey after 97 season and hired ray Sherman, which Cowher said "didn't work." That was cowhers darkest period as head coach...98-2000, and came out on top of a struggle between himself and GM tom Donahoe.
Cowher said one thing that made me cringe. He was in foxboro last week talking to Vrabel and recounting vrabels time as a Steeler. He basically encouraged vrabels leaving the Steelers as he couldn't commit to more playing time because "I had joey Porter and JASON GIlDON." WHAT!!! we lost Mike Vrabel because of Jason Fuckin Gildong???
Looked up Vrabel. Knew he had caught touchdown passes as a patriot, didn't realize that all 12 passes that he caught as an NFL player were for touchdowns no only in New England, but Kansas City later in his career.
