Cowher Redemption

Its difficult to watch talented teams (Astros) never quite make it to the finishline. Coaching means so much in big games--big games reveal team discipline, cohesion and strategy against new opponents. In short, they reveal coaching.

Like Larry Bird so sneeringly commented about Phil Jackson when Jackson got so much respect for winning over and over (admittedly with egos the size of stadiusms), that when you have a Michael Jordon on the team, the players kinda matter, too. And while that is a definate starting point, coaching can destroy good potential just as easily or not encourage their stars to overcome their weaknesses.

Anyway, it's nice to see Cowher making it happen after all this time. Good luck Steelers!
