Profootballtalk.com circulated a report this week that former Chicago Bears and Miami Doplhins head coach Dave Wannstedt, who is currently toiling at Pitt, could get some consideration for the Steelers job if, as expected, Bill Cowher leaves after this season. While Wannstedt has done a wonderful job of cultivating his aw-shucks, Mr. Nice Guy approach over the years, he is simply a terrible NFL head coach. The evidence is ample, including one botched draft after another. But the proof is his career sub-.500 record (82-87 in the regular season) as an NFL coach over 10-plus years (he resigned from the Dolphins nine games into the 2004 season). Consider that at the time of his firing, 45 men had been head coaches in the NFL for at least 10 years. Of that group, 27 had either won an NFL Championship, a Super Bowl or had been in a Super Bowl. Only eight had records below .500. You already know which category Wannstedt belongs.

I pity the Steelers if they hire Wannstedt. He's arguably the worst NFL coach I've seen in my life. The only coach that's worse than Wannstedt was Ray Handley of the Giants. -
I can not see him as a HC in the NFL anymore....He is such a good recruiter for PITT....I think it would not be a step up for him...... -
Good they'll suck even more luv that.How many more titles will the Yankees try to buy it never ends.Comment

Living in Pa & hating the "Stealers", I can only hope this is true! After what he did to the 'Phins, I hope he does the same to Pittsburgh!Comment

Wannstedt is a terrible NFL coach. His teams were to conservative and predictable, and played not to lose instead of playing to win.Comment

I'm not too sure about that. He's expressed interest in retirement to spend time with his family.Originally posted by Chuck E. CheeseComment
