All the young X's and O's wunderkind coaches flash but never take it to the next level. Look at all the currently successful coaches making big and lasting runs - all of them are charismatic leaders not exactly known for their genius schemes. Rather, they are known for their ability to lead, develop talent, and find the right personnel. Who knows, maybe Ben Johnson is both, but if he were, I don't think we are a lucky enough franchise to land that type of person.

This is where I'm at...to a point.

I consider Mike Tomlin a great leader of men...but a slightly above average head coach...and a HORRIBLE situational HC.

I've seen over 100 Steelers games in my life.   Mike's team that won the SB was Bill Cowher's team.

I want a SMART head coach that's also a leader of men.   I'm hoping Johnson, Coen or Glenn are great situation coaches and talent (assistant coach) evaluators.   

My fingers are crossed.
