I take it you haven't been watching football for very long, because very good Steelers teams under Cowher have always failed to win the big one. Since 1992, he has taken his team to the playoffs 10 times, to the AFC Championship four times, to the Super Bowl once, and never won. He is obviously a good coach based on his overall records, but his playoff record is 7-9 over 13 years now and in this day and age people get upset when the coach doesn't win it all.
More up to date, before this season people were calling for him to be fired. If he can't at least get to the Super Bowl with this team that is widely regarded the best team in the NFL, it will be another sign that he can not win the big one, and the people will make sure he leaves.
