I was just looking at the Steelers record by season with Cowher and then Tomlin.
Cowher had a stretch from 1998-2000 (3 straight seasons) of not making the playoffs. That’s the only window I could’ve seen him getting canned. Like Schottenheimer, Cowher look like a guy that just couldn’t get it done.
Tomlin has been on the rollercoaster since 2008 Super Bowl win. There were two windows where he missed the playoffs two years in a row, but then got back to the playoffs. While he’s made the playoffs twice in 5 years, he has not won a playoff game since 2017. His seat could be getting warm.
