PITTSBURGH (AP) -Bill Cowher, discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching change for the first time since his resignation last month, can't wait to see how Mike Tomlin does in the job.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Mike Tomlin is starting his fourth week as the Pittsburgh Steelers' coach, and he has yet to talk to every player. One he has been talking to, and quite often, is Ben Roethlisberger.

To Tomlin, the 2006 season is over and won't be revisited, either by the coach or |
