That won't be necessary. It's clear many people here are interested in ruining the thread. So here is my response.
You attacked a white coach for winning the Superbowl. That's not just ridiculous that's stupid. A Superbowl winning team is "dead" and needs somebody to breathe "life" into it? We're here because we're not happy with the state of the game. Not to attack a guy who is one of the best coaches in the league and the longest tenured too.
There is no coach who does not do the caste football thing. You can't replace Cowher with a guy who will start 15 white players or whatever level of whiteness you want to see. That coach does not exist.
Every coach starts more black players than white players. At worst the Steelers are average. They won the Superbowl with 5 white starters on offense and were 1 guard or tackle away from having a majority white starting offense. Heck, the defensive line this year will have 2 white starting tackles. It will be 100% white when Hoke and Hampton are rotating.
If Cowher retired, who's the next head coach? You don't know. Cowher has been a winner for 15 years. What about the new guy? You don't know. Will the new guy play more white players or less? You don't know. Rooney was the man who created the "You must interview black head coaches" rule. How do you know they won't hire a black head coach? You don't know. It seems like all you understand is "Too many black players, this coach has to go." You do understand that the next head coach will probably, by easy to predict trends, win less games and start less white players?
So Jody, what new ground to you think you are breaking here? Of course, with 32 predominantly black teams there are going to be good ones and bad ones. Are we to salute the good ones and only talk about the bad ones? This is about white players getting a level playing field with all 32 teams not just the bad ones.
Bill Cowher for most of his career has been one of the most fervent believers in the Caste System. His first move as head coach was to take Merrill Hoge, the Steelers' main ball carrier for the previous three seasons and make him into a pure blocking fullback. He brought in an all-black offensive line and made the defense all black.
Cowherwas the architect of The Great Seven Year Kordell Stewart Experiment. He coddled Kordell to a sickening degree, refusing to bring in anything but journeymen to give him "competition" when it was obvious to everyone, even black worshipping fans, that Kordell Stewart was not starting quarterback material.
Cowher is notorious for screaming at white placekickers and punters on national television when they made a bad kick yet never reacting to the most boneheaded mistakes by black players. He totally screwed over numerous talented white wide receivers, the most well-known being Danny Farmer.
Leonardfan and I have every right to not be happy with the direction of the Steelers these days. They had an all-black draft in '06. After aging Jeff Hartings and Alan Faneca is an all-black o-line. All three QBs competing for the backup spots behind Big Ben are black.
Are we not supposed to mention any of this because the Steelers won the Super Bowl last year? Are we to bow to Bill Cowher and give him a pass when it comes to the Caste System?
Don't come on here and attack knowledgeable posters and show your ignorance.
