There are very few people who can speak to the way that the Pittsburgh Steelers organization is run better than current head coach Mike Tomlin or former head coach Bill Cowher. The latter spent 15 seasons with the team and knows all too well what this time of year can feel like after a disappointing season.
Similar to Tomlin, Cowher found early success with a trip to the Super Bowl in his fourth season, and then had a long drought until he ultimately won it 10 years later. That included a three-year playoff drought from 1998 to 2000.
