Coaching staff SB experience and appearences

[SteelVictory]

Listening to a Brandon Boykin interview had me thinking about differences in SB experience of different coaching staffs.

What are the total Super Bowl appearances for the Steelers coaching staff? As either a coach or player?
Was starting to look up the info and thought it would be an interesting topic for the board so...here is the Steelers coaching staff
fill in the rest...(yeah, you can lookup the info but might be more fun to try to post from memory)

(HC) Mike Tomlin 3: PIT-W, TB-W, PIT-L
(OC) Todd Haley 1: AZ-L
(DC) Keith Butler 3: 2xPIT-W, PIT-L
(OL) Mike Munchak
(DL) John Mitchell
(ST) Danny Smith
(TE) James Daniel
(QB) Randy Fichtner
(DB) Carnell Lake 1: PIT-L
(WR) Richard Mann
(ILB) Jerry Olsavsky 1IT-L
(OLB) Joey Porter 1: PIT-W
(RB) James Saxon

Total:

 

[SteelerSask2]

Porter 1-0
Olsavsky and Lake 0-1
Butler 2-1he was a Seahawk (no SB appearances as a player) and been here for a long time.
All I got.

 

[Coach]

Some have said Tomlin won in the playoffs with Bill Cowher's players, which to an extent is true. When the best of Cower's players retired or aged, our success in the playoffs went with them. The last time the Steelers won a playoff game was January 2011. We are now in August 2015.

What I find interesting is many of Cowher's former players who were at their best when he was coaching are now back as coaches for Tomlin.

How many,Coach? I can think of only Porter. Lake and Olsavsky were Noll's players and Olsavsky was hired by Cowher. As for the who's players thing not sure if you are old enough to remember but when Lombardi began his run at GB almost all the players were already there. Never heard a rap on him for "winning with someone elses' players"

Most of the time when someone talks about "winning with someone elses' players" it because the first guy won with them as well. What did GB win with those players before Lombardi? Cowher won a SB and went 15-1 with a rookie QB with his players.

Question. Do you think the Steelers could of picked anyone as our HC when Cowher left and had the success that we did or do you think that Tomlin actually had something, anything to do with it? Even if it was just managing the player that were here that he inherited? Just curious.

I think any average coach could have won. He had no experience in a 3-4 so DL was given almost free reign over the defense. He changed almost nothing until recently. 10 out of 11 starters on defense were from Cowher when he won the SB in 2010. Every good player on offense was from Cowher. BA had been with the staff for years. His best quality is that he didn't touch anything. Which is smart and I give him credit for that. I'm sure other coaches would have tried to change some things. However Rooney wasn't going to hire someone that would do that. They knew the talent was already there and they wanted someone who would just hold the status quo.

I don't see Tomlin as an innovator or and X's and O's coach. He's a caretaker IMHO. Which is what I think Rooney wanted for Ben. He didn't want to change much. He already had a SB winning team with talent out the ***. The problem is that now it's time to change things. The old guard is gone. Now we will see if his ideas about the defense will work. Combining a 3-4 base with a tampa 2 look? Not my way to do things but we'll see this year.

Porter was a Cowher guy all the way. Noll might have drafted Lake and Olsavsky, but he hardly played or developed them. Cowher did.

 

[Marshall Karp]

Coaches and players with Super Bowl winning experience are valuable and valuable pick-ups. They do have that X Factor about them.

Check again, coach. Lake started 3 years under Noll and Olsasky 2. Do you mean anyone who had less than 3 years under Cowher was developed by Tomlin? Slippery slope. Why not just acknowledge Cowher was a damn good coach for his years and Tomlin has been as good so far and let time tell.

I try to respect everyone's opinion, Vader. It's just that Dungy's on Tomlin doesn't agree with yours and I do tend to respect Tony's more.
