If I recall correctly, Cowher built the team immediately and had them winning within a couple years of taking over. His slide occurred later after he had proven that he could build a team and he was then given leeway for down seasons. Mike Tomlin hasn't built anything yet and as a matter of fact it appears that the team is being deconstructed and floundering for leaders. Personally, I've supported Tomlin, but at this point and since being Tebowed this team has been in decline. The rebuilding has been occurring, however, it hasn't been fruitful to this point. I think the coaches (all of them) deserve some scrutiny right now. The Rooneys aren't knee jerk reactionary types, so it is my guess the coaches will be given ever opportunity to correct the ship before pink slips are handed out or retirement occurs.
