As team president Art Rooney II and general manager Omar Khan comb the ranks for a new head coach, former Steelers leader Bill Cowher doesn’t think there should be any bias toward keeping the same style of play.
“It’s not how you do it, it’s the way you do it,” Cowher said Wednesday on CBS Sports’ “We Need To Talk.”
