Heyward Tells Bush to Calm Down

[Steelworth]

From Bill Cowher’s book; it wasn’t all sunshine and roses, especially through those 1st 6 years. They had a lot of locker room drama; but also had the leadership to check teammates too.

I wouldn't doubt it. Wasn't he the youngest HC ever hired at that time (if I'm off, apologies), and was also because of the departure of a living legend in Chuck Noll. All that matters are the end results, which were pretty damn good.

In response to post #22

It’s all Ben’s fault

Ironically, Noll’s accomplishments didn’t mean much to many players—Hardy Nickerson was one mentioned to be specific.

Noll would say he knew it was a Super Bowl Caliber team, but he was no longer the coach to do it.

Blah blah blah. Heyward's words mean nothing. Ask AB and Bell. JuJu also. Unless now as in this offseason... he is becoming some vocal leader in the locker room. I doubt it. Bush will still be tweeting his dumb **** soon enough. Tombert will be silent also....unfortunately.

 

[Omar10213245]

if he calls him privately no need to talk publicly

Maybe he spoke to him privately well before his last dumbass comment on tweeters. You have no way of knowing with certainty

**** could you imagine Cowher or Noll having to deal with these idiots. That said they would be in pretty good shape for running laps all day.

Glad Cowher got out when he did...I thought he would have gone back into coaching a couple years after his wife passed, but maybe he saw the writing on the wall and decided to stick with his TV gig. Couldn't blame him.

From his book, I'm guessing he won't be coaching again. He likes his life as it is. He's been approached by several teams and just can't see putting in the type of all-in effort that being a head coach requires.

BOTH Cowher and Knoll showed that they could handle the players of their respective times............ that also shows they would be able to hanndle these players as well because they made adjustments even in those ERAs. If you think the methods of their respective times would work today, highly doubtful but both respective coaches would have adjusted to methods they find to work. That arguement of these two coaches not being able to handle toddays players is bullshit unless you are saying they use their ERA ONLY of coaching style. Anyone but a fool can see it would require different stance and either of thes two said coaches could handle transitioning as they grew.

Tomlin has transitioned in his time here to aquire his management style for todays players is Tomlin of such greatness to say no other coach could transition?


JMM I hear exactly what you are saying but also like it known that either coach would change as the times have changed.



Salute the nation

I don’t think Cowher would be able to settle the guys in today’s era. It’s a different society now than 15 years ago

Definately a different society from them till now but like Tomlin, Cowher would have learned and changed along the way. Look how much different Cowher coached his last five years as opposed to his first five years, changes. Tonlin same way, his first five to his last five, changes.

Just my opinion

Coryea is waiting for this to devolve into bashing Ben

While sitting on his soccer ball...

Well Bush apparently stated his tweeter platform is his so the Steelers can't tell what to do with it. I am expecting Heyward to lay the law down with him now. Anybody agree?

Devin Bush: ‘It’s my Twitter, so (the Steelers) can’t control it’

Available to the media for the first time since igniting an online brouhaha with a flurry of midsummer Twitter posts that ranged from the bizarre to the disturbing, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush was largely unapologetic. Asked if he felt like he made some fans angry with his tweets —

No i dont expect that.

I would like him to get lit up by a team leader, like a big slap upside the head (minimum) But these days everyone is a *****.

Heyward and Banner should **** him up

 

[steel dino]

I think Ill go buy a 55 jersey!

 

[Steelworth]

Didn't realize their dad's played ball together and that they (Cam & Devin) were as close as they are. That's at least a good sign for the young guy.

 

[Stryker]

Of course Cowher made the playoffs his first 6 years. He did it with Noll's players...

 

[suncitysteel]

We went from Lloyd's "60 Minute Men" to Bush's "280 Max Characters". Sheesh...

 

[suncitysteel]

Or how 'bout... Lloyd's "I wasn't hired for my disposition" to Bush's "It's my Twitter so the Steelers can't control it."

Reasons why my love of football in general has waned drastically over the years.
