The Facts:
The extension runs through 2007. Cowher coach has a 115-76-1 record in 12 seasons, with only three losing seasons. His seven division titles are the fifth most in NFL coaching history, and the Steelers have reached the playoffs 12 times under Cowher despite missing them four of the last six seasons. Cowher also has the most seniority of any active NFL coach.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While the Steelers change coaches less frequently than any other team in major pro sports -- they have had only two coaches in 35 years -- Cowher goes into this season following yet another realignment of his coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, who was replaced by Ken Whisenhunt after leaving to head coach in Buffalo.
