Does Tomlin still ride Cowher's coattails?

[treee]

I do have to question how well Tomlin reigns his players in (and trust me, I'm well aware that Marv does not). There seems to be more drama coming from the Steelers locker room that a lot of other teams.

Player's coaches can definitely be beneficial, but it can also blow up in their face at important times as well. I think Tomlin is at the very least competent. He has a great FO and his teams perform to expectation most of the time.

I agree with the other posters that seeing how the post-Ben era under Tomlin goes, will be very telling.

Edit: Also I definitely was one of the poster's claiming he was riding Cowher's coattails on the old boards.
