In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
TCFCLTC-
The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher
To me, Woodson was ALWAYS a Steeler, regardless of jersey color...even moreso, to me, than a guy like Joey Porter...
I don't begrudge guys like Franco, Webby or Harrison (now) for wanting one more season...I'm just disappointed with how it worked out...Harrison had an opportunity to stay at the best deal possible for him and didn't take it....
Woodson played for 7 or 8 more seasons after Donohoe ran him out of town...he had a lot left to give, not just one last season...
I liked what Mike Wallace brought to table and wanted Steelers to retain him...but now i hope he has Darius Heyward Bey kinda production in Miami...It will make me happy....
Same with Harrison..if he is a Bungle...then i hope he gets zero sacks...and gets trucked by Rice or Trent Richardson...and gets pancaked by every freaking O-line/TE/RB/FB in AFCN...
I wish them good health for life and great success off the football field but hope for zero success on football field......

That's how the Steelers ended the dynasty of the '70s. They rode out their stars until there was nothing left instead of slowly moving them along little by little and replenishing before waiting until the cupboard was bare.
As a direct result, we had the Steelers of the '80s. Sometimes you have to make the decision to move players along a season or two too early rather than risk waiting a season or two too late.
See, I'm not like that at all. I want to see Mike Wallace and Deebo as first alternates in the pro-bowl behind whatever carbon unit the Steelers find to take their place. I like these players and want to see them succeed- just not at the expense of my favorite team. I like to see Drew Brees do his thing too, just not at the expense of my team. The fact that someone once had ties to the Steelers doesn't color my impression of them as a player unless I thought they were a jackass in Pitt as well.
