Agreed. NO ONE would be safe.

Well I looked around for this story on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and this is the closest I could find (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05024/447283.stm)

Steelers fans voice their opinions after Pittsburgh's 41-27 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game last night at Heinz Field.

OK, Mr. Rooney, unless you like winning only regular season games or having a never-to-be-broken record of losing 80 percent of your conference championship games at home, Bill Cowher must go!

Let's move on, get a new coach and use these awesome players to their fullest advantage.

I appreciate your loyalty to Bill Cowher. Loyalty is one major component that is missing from most business relationships it this era.

However, How much longer must we deal with Coach Cowher's inability to win the big game? This man is 1-4 in AFC championships and 0-1 in the Super Bowl. All of these losses have come when Coach Cowher has arguably had the most talented team on the NFL at the time of each loss.

You own the team, and if you didn't terminate Cowher after his 6-10 season last year, or after his other three losses at home in the AFC championship game, I know you will not terminate him after this embarrassment.

Although you won't make the change, It's time for a change.

That's the most disgusting thing I've ever read! Wow.

Of course people are still going to be pissed off only one or two days after the loss. Give it a week or two and see if they still feel the same. A lot of teams would be pretty happy getting to the conference championship game 5 times in 12 years, even if it meant losing most of them.
Not to mention that they did have a rookie QB this year. Want to disrupt his progress? Switch coaching staffs and systems on him. We Skins fans know a little about that sort of thing, don't we?!? ;)

There is absolutely NO WAY you fire a coach after a 16-2 season.

We most definitely do. Shit, I'd be crapping my pants if we even made the PLAYOFFS this year. That way you elitist Pittsburgh fans.

If Pittsburgh fired Bill Cowher after a 15 - 1 season it would be the worst move in NFL history! So what that they didn't make it to the SB? Ben is a rookie....he's only going to get better!

If Gibbs hadn't came back to the Redskins and it was true about Cowher I would say we'd take him in a heartbeat! But I am more than happy with Gibbs back.

My only problem is that it seems like so many Steelers fans have come out of the woodwork around here as of late. I think they are the ones calling for a change. Even though the fair-weather fans are always prominent whenever a team is winning.

I am proud to say I sport my hat/shirt/jersey whether we are 1-15 or 15-1.

Why would this be such a surprise Jimmy Johnson was fired after 2 super bowl victories, regardless of performance you have to have a working relationship with your boss and if Rooney and Cower don't get along then why not? Although I think their crazy if they do, Cower for the first time this year lost a game that he had enough talent to possibly win, but he ran into one of the great team's of all time while sporting a rookie QB, Cower will be back now that he finally has a QB, but if they do fire him it would take about 2 second's for him to take over the entire football operation's somewhere in the NFL.

He's not going to be fired, period.
