Not me. As long as his success doesn't hurt the Steelers in any way I would wish him well in gratitude for bringing us our 6th Lombardi, and for everything else he did for us. Now, if he's playing us, or for a team we need to lose, then no warm fuzzies at those times. But, I still have (diminishing ) hopes that he'll stay in the B&G).
You guys really feel that way? You really do hate Franco, Joey Porter, Kevin Greene, Woodson and others because they put on another uniform after wearing the B&G?
Related question ... what about Foote, BMac, Gay, Randle-El, etc. ... did you hate them when they left? And did you start loving them again (apologies to Merle Haggard) the day they came back? Hey, Plex is in that boat right now ... where does he stand now that he's back?
We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!
I'm with you. As long as he is not playing against the Steelers, I will absolutely root for James Harrison. He was my favorite player on the team and he had some amazing games, and left me with a lot of great memories. If he's playing against the Steelers, I'd certainly rather he not knock Ben into oblivion, but if he's not playing against the Steelers, I'll absolutely root for him.

I just can't flip a switch and not give a damn because a player leaves. As long as they aren't playing against us I'm still a fan.
Another AS masterpiece.
It depends on the player for me. I really had no strong opinion on Foote, BMac. I don't like Gay and hated ARE. I was disappointed to see Plex go, but still rooted for him and Porter, John Kuhn, Willie Williams, and Mark Bruener. I agree though, if they play against the Steelers I hope they get their a&s beat.

I'm in the camp saying that I'll believe it when it I hear it from Silverback himself. Don't see the need to believe 2nd hand hearsay from a friggin Bungle.
I dont hate, but I DO NOT wish them success. Because the greater THEIR success the worse the decision to let him go.
Hey NOBODY was more pro sign Harrison than me.
But now that he is gone I dont want him to suceed elsewhere.
It would only make me more sick that he was let go.
You mention Franco. I was GLAD he struggled in Seattle, because it meant WE MADE THE RIGHT CALL.
I was a fan of Franco THE STEELER, could care less about Franco the Seahawk.
Ditto Harrison, Wallace, Lewis, or any other former Steeler.
I WANT to be wrong if it means the team made the right move
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
I'd even go as far as to say Woodson going into the HOF acting like he was a Steeler was a little irritating. Loved him while he was here. But then he left and helped Baltimore win a SuperBowl and meh.
I really liked the guy. But he was gone soooo long, he didn't feel like a Steeler. Guys like Franco or Webby leaving for another season to hang on didnt bother me cause they were so short and they were hanging on too long. But Woodson bugged me that he left with so much left.
