Its a wonder Rooney picked Cowher over TD when it came down to choosing who stays and who goes. TD would never pick a coach who could surpass him as team leader and decision maker for what happens on the field.
The coach is merely there to put TD's plan into action, when the heat comes down for bad decisions, that coach will be relieved of his duties. We saw it with Gregg Williams, and we are seeing it with MM. Drafts by Mr. Donahoe have produced a handfull of decent players (McGahee, Evans, Mcgee, Shoebul (sp) ) Don't see it getting any better in the future.
