15-1



There is very little left to be said. This was an amazing regular season that showcased the Steelers depth and total team concept.

Now everyone's records go back to 0-0.
---------

Big Ben will most likely be named the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year later today. Credentials: 13-0 as a starter. Roethlisberger also set NFL rookie records this year for completion percentage (66.4) and passer rating (98.1).

Russ Grimm is being interviewed this week for the Browns head coaching spot. I love what Russ brings to this team, but I wish him the best. I think the Bears should have picked him during their search last year, and if Cleveland passes on him, someone else will scoop him up soon. He's too good at what he does to not be a head coach in this league.

Everything you said about Grimm is spot on.

This is of course, why I hope he doesn't get hired in Cleveland. A head coaching spot for sure, but not for a divisional opponent.

Or maybe I'm just paranoid - with all of the former assistants that have (or had) head coaching spots around the NFL after leaving the Steelers, any Idea what Cowher's record against former assistants is?

I know that he's had six former assistants go on to be head coaches. 4 currents (Mike Mularkey/Buffalo Bills, Jim Haslett/New Orleans Saints, Dom Capers/Houston Texans, and Marvin Lewis/Cincinnati Bengals)and 2 past (Chan Gailey and Dick LeBeau). Can't find his record against those guys, but It's got to be out on the web somewhere.
