His predecessor was a legend who had turned the Steelers from perennial losers to four-time champs. Like Noll, Cowher was a former player for the Browns as well as the Eagles.

Every football franchise goes through good times and bad. As a fan, it is hard to remember how bad things can be when your team is winning. And vice versa.
