I think people just want a nasty D, which I would rather have than an exciting Offense.  It feels like an exciting O is a coin flip to win while a nasty D is to be in more control of a game.  But just my opinion.  I personally do not think Cowher would be an overwhelming upgrade but sometimes just a change of philosophy in coaching is a good thing and can work out.  It could be a "worse"/new coach and make all the difference. 

Although I agree I think Fox and Co have actually done really well here.  And I know we have yet to have back to back winning seasons but injuries have a lot to do with this.  And the fact that we have never (until this season) returned the same OL from one year to the next which is a must for a successful team IMO.

I truly hope fox wins many super bowls here.  I hope in 15 yrs he is inducted into the hall of fame and I'm posting about what an awesome coach he is.   Realistically I would have fired him after the AZ game.  He stubbornly kept throwing the ball when he had the most potent running game in the league.  Fox has been too stubborn for his own good.  He can win when he has exactly the team and players he wants but has not been flexible enough when he doesn't have the pieces he needs for his style of play.  I hope he is becoming more open to others ideas, I think hiring Meeks might be an indication he is willing to learn new things.

yeah plus he spits too much when he talks...disgusting
