They had Ben Roethlisberger during the early parts of his tenure with the Steelers. Then they didn't have a franchise quarterback. It's a league ruled by good quarterbacks.

That 3-9 record is still 9 playoff appearances. Most coaches barely get one. It is just incredibly hard to win in the NFL.

i’d lose myself in a creative world if i lead a team that demands excellence without a franchise quarterback. imagine how many meetings this man endured in lieu of a capable qb.

but it is cool how mike’s minecraft story follows a familiar arc for anyone raising kids after 2009, and learning about his interests in architecture and urbanism.

He also won Super Bowl XLIII in 2009

Talent-wise some of those most recent teams had no business being in the playoffs if you just looked at the roster/stats.

I feel like his coaching leveled them up. It will be interesting to see if he writes any books about his process, etc.

Obviously the correlation is there, but the causation could go either way, if it exists at all.
