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
Khan has always impressed me as a pretty humble type guy. He doesn't seem like the Jerry Jones type who thinks because he is in position he is now a personnel genius. I also think that AR2 knows who Khan is and made sure that he heard all the right things during the job search (which I believe was simply a search for the Asst. GM).
Andy Weidl helped rebuild the Eagles into a Super Bowl contender. Can he do the same for the Steelers?

Three signings with former connections to the Eagles. I'd say Weidl is wielding his power.
This makes me wonder that if Weidl hits it out of the park and the Steelers rebuild puts them back in SB talk in a couple of seasons how long will Weidl last in the 'Burgh as assistant GM? Some team is gonna wave the promotion in front of him.
good point NC.
From the 2010-2022 season,(A 13 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks. Currently, Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in 6 years.
Steeler fans still loving on Tomlin now, are the same as Dolphin fans in the 90's who were still loving on Shula for what he did in the 70's
I’m not sure what the hierarchy of positions in the front office is like.
Gm is likely the top, of course.
but maybe something like ass. Gm and director of pro personnel would be just as good as gm for weidl.
I believe Colbert had both titles.
a couple things going for us is they’ve known each other for a long time so as friends they can co exist
and Andy is from Pittsburgh. So he’s home now. Hopefully that’s where he wants to be in the latter stages of his career
