Bill Cowher was the perfect coach for the Steelers. He brought that hard-nosed, blue collar work ethic that Pittsburgh was known for and a defensive minded intensity as a former player. The defenses under Cowher were incredible and made you earn every point and every yard. Coach Cowher, thank you for the memories of those hard-hitting Steelers football games and welcome to Canton.
They should have beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl as well. Watching the Larry Brown interception from Neil O'Donnell raised some suspicion
Thank the browns he was under the late great marty schottenheimer in the 80s
Good comment so true. Coaches like him are unheard of. #Steelers 😊☮💜💫✝️🙏🏾❤🏈
As a Pats fan during those years of Pitt and NE eliminating each other, to me Bill is the Pittsburgh Steelers
That's because he was a son of Pittsburgh... he grew up here... and he knew how to inspire people, however also to make them put in the hard work they needed to put in. And he held people accountable. And as we all saw on the sidelines, he never held back. But the players respected him. He earned their respect with his knowledge and he brought out the best of everyone around him. Miss him to this day! But he absolutely deserved all the accolades he got. And he absolutely deserves being in the Football Hall of fame! Congrats to you Coach Cowher!!!!
So thankful he mentioned Marty. He should've had a chance to go in while he was alive. Most underrated head coach in recent history. Every team he left had a worst winning pct. with the coach who followed him. He had a better winning pct. than every coach he replaced. 2 fumbles and John Elway being great are keeping him out.
Any coach who goes to 2 AFC Title Games with Kordell Stewart AND goes to 2 AFC Title Games & a Super Bowl with Neil O’Donnell at QB is an all time great. He finally got a franchise QB his last 2 years in Ben: 15-1 Ben’s rookie year, and a Super Bowl title the next year. Thanks for everything, Coach Cowher - so glad to see you in the Hall of Fame!!
I remember Cohwer kissed Kordell Stewart in congratulating him,Cohwer wife said "you kissed Kordell". Which wife was that?
Every Steelers fan loved Kordell but because they didn't make Super Bowl he's gay..O Donnell was a good qb
@@darrenanthony8473 Probably Kaye Cowher (RIP) because his second wife wasn't in the picture when Kordell played for Bill. Second, his second wife is a musician and they met in 2010 so I doubt she even knows who Kordell Stewart is.
As a life-long Browns fan , I can honestly say I have always liked and respected coach Cowher. He is a great human being and a great coach...I cheered at the announcement of his induction...he belonged in the HOF !!
Well he played and coached for the browns, so you should be happy
I like how he responded to the crowd when they booed the Browns. Great guy.
Fake Browns fan respect.
Congrats to Coach Cower and Troy Polamalu. As a Cowboy fan, the Steelers Organization is an incredible Franchise who knows how to pick coaches. Two Hall of Fame Coaches and a third still Coaching.
I’m a cowboy fan too, and I hated polamalu when he was a player, but I also know that I hated him because he was so incredible. He might’ve been the best steeler player of that era.
Right? Crazy, but that speaks about the Rooney Family
Damn youtube take it easy with the ads. I understand 1 or 2 but damn 6 ads smh. We would all like to enjoy his speech
Marty schottenheimer is the most underrated coach of the past 40 years in football, He was the most winningest coach in the NFL in the entire decade of the '90s. This man deserves to be in the Hall of Fame on what he's done for the game. 200 Career Wins, he's 8th all time... c'mon put some respect on this man's name! #ChiefsKingdom
Im a life long fan of the Steelers but you're right Marty deserves to be in the HOF.What a teacher he was,a great man.
marty is deserving yes
Totally agree. RIP Marty
He is deserving based on his accomplishments. He also has the best name-check of an NFL coach in hip hop history.
Slim Shady, brain dead like Jim Brady
I'm a M-80, you little like that Kim lady
I'm buzzin', Dirty Dozen, naughty rotten rhymer
Cursin' at you players worse than Marty Schottenheimer
Absolutely! The man was a football genius.
Bill Cowher’s enshrinement like Jimmy Johnson’s was long overdue, but he also made it to Canton. Congratulations
As if hes actually going to read that comment 😂
@@Shawn-cx2cp who cares
How about Mike Holmgren?
@@Shawn-cx2cp fatherless child
Two of the best. As a Dallas fan Bill was always that other legend . Good for him!
Had me crying when he mentioned Kevin Green. It was beautiful.
Bill Cowher is the reason I became a Steelers fan, I've never seen a coach so passionate about the game of football.
Same.
B.C. is my favorite head coach ever and I'm not a Pittsburgh fan. Congrats Coach Cowher!!! A well deserved honor!!!!
What a powerful speech! Love the love Bill gave to Marty Schottenheimer and his family. I do hope Marty gets in the HOF at some point!
It's crazy I could have sworn Marty was all ready in.
That's crazy A/F he's not in the H.O.F
Wow @jjbirden88 posted on here. I remember the days as an elementary school kid way over in San Diego (I'm a Chargers die-hard fan by the way, since 1993) watching you catch TD passes near the back of the end zone or just finding ways to make plays for the Chiefs and Falcons. Them Chiefs teams you were on from 1990 to 1994 were some of the most talented rosters in the NFL in the 1990s.
So glad that Bill was able to mention the huge influence of Marty Schottenheimer. Marty belongs in Canton as well.
underrated comment
Absolutely. Coach Schottenheimer belongs in Canton and so does Don Coryell.
Don’t forget Dan reeves dose to
Agreed
No, great coach but no
Man I recall the painful loss to the Chargers in 94 and then the nail biting win vs Indy in 95. The relief and happiness on Bills face was unforgettable.
Bill Cowher sure as hell deserved (💯%) that long ovation just before his speech started. That man was responsible for bringing back respectability and success to the Steelers organization. Him and former GM Tom Donahoe worked together in drafting, cultivating, and curating some of the best talent in Steelers history from 1992 to 1997. Cowher gave the Steelers their first AFC Championship (1995) since 1979, their first Super Bowl appearance (1995) since 1979, and their first Super Bowl ring (2005) since 1979.
*Steelers fans from 1980 to 1991 were STARVING for sustained or consistent success and of course a Super Bowl title, and Cowher got Steeler Nation both of those measures of success.* Not only that, when Cowher retired after the 2006 season, he didn't leave the cupboard bare for his successor Mike Tomlin. Tomlin inherited Ben Roethlisberger. Tomlin netted a playoff berth in 2007. *Tomlin inherited 27 players that Cowher and his coaching staff, team scouts, and GM Kevin Colbert either scouted, drafted, coached up, or got in free agency that helped him win a Super Bowl ring in 2008.* Cowher did so much for the Steelers it ain't even funny bro.
Chuck Noll and Art Rooney Sr. are both probably smiling from heaven. :)
Absolute legend, second only to Noll himself
This was the first time I actually watched Bill Cowhers induction into the Hall of fame... very emotional. I'm glad that he gave all the love and praise to his late wife, his kids, and the Rooney family. Rip Dan rooney. He definitely unreplaceable... you don't find another Dan or any anywhere. He was absolutely amazing. Anyhow, Pittsburgh loves coach Bill cowher. And I'm glad to see that he shared the love for our city. Because we embraced him as one of our own, because he was, also he did so much for the city. And we miss him! But we're proud to have him now and then.!!
I’m a Jets fan but I feel like fans of every team like Bill Cowher a lot! He just personifies everything great about football and the league! Congrats to him and his family!
Agreed
Exactly, Mr.Cowher. Marty Schottenheimer was a great,great inspiring coach and person. We met him before a preseasongame in Berlin 1990. We had a short chat about the game in general and he was surprised to meet germans who were total football-maniacs. He was so respectful and straight to the point. Never forget him.
If my dad were still here, he would’ve been so proud. Miss him every day.
He is looking down.
I was thinking the same thing about my dad. He would have made sure we were there to see coach Flores go in. You said it best I miss my dad everyday.
We love you Coach Cowher and RIP Kaye. Hopefully Marty Schottenheimer gets in someday. He deserved a ring.
The last part of that speech brought tears to my eyes, because it told a truth that we know in our hearts but sometimes overlook. Dan's offering the Rosary Beads to Bill - and Bill accepting them though he was not Catholic - exemplifies how we can accept and love one another regardless of our differences. It was at that moment that I realized that of last night's Steeler inductees, Donnie Shell is African-American, Troy Polamalu is a Pacific Islander, and Bill Cowher is a white Yinzer. But they are part of the same family - the Steeler family, and Steeler Nation loves them all as beloved members of our chosen family. If only the whole world was more like that.
Well put man.
As a chiefs fan I respect Bill and knowledge of the game he definitely earned it congratulations 👏 👍 👌
I am a life long NY Giants fan...Bill Cowher and The Steeler Nation win here!!! So much passion and joy!!!!!
I love this game. As a charger fan but even more a NFL fan when coach Cowher mention Marty I couldn't not hold back the tears. thank you Coach Marty and Coach Cowher. what a wonderful speech.
It's still amazing the Steelers have only had three coaches in their entire history & all of them won a superbowl
Heh... a lot more than 3 ... since 1933..
Those three coaches since '69 tho... have all got winning records.
The ones before that... well....
Tomlin can go another 10, he’s only 49.
@@d0nKsTaH he may of been talking about since the merger lmao nobody talking about the 1930's
@@likejimi5845 it still counts tho no matter how long ago it was
@@The_king567 I mean I guess.. I'm just saying that in the original comment I don't think the person was trying to say that they've had 3 coaches in 100 years lmao. But I mean they don't consider teams that won championships before the merger as having superbowls for a reason lol
What a man Cowher is. Being from Baltimore never liked him or his teams but what a great guy. I only played in high school but it was the best thing I ever did in my life. At 63 fighting cancer I look back on it everyday and will never quit until the end. Thats football. Its not money or fame its never quit and keep hitting back even if your down 21 in the fourth quarter.
I hope you’re well, sir. From Pittsburgh.
The Steelers have had THREE head coaches since the merger. A real testament to the strength of the franchise and commitment to continuity. No other team has been so stable for so long.
When Ben leaves, that stability might take a dip for a few years. At least.
I think the Steelers missed a chance these last 2 drafts to play some games and try and get a franchise QB
From a ravens fans, Steelers nation this was y’all’s night and much deserved.
Thanks Mr Cowher!
Here we Steelers!
Here we go!
Congratulations, Coach Cowher
The Best Speech and the best delivery of the night, imo.
@ Hard Rock Master
Man I dunno, Hutchinson and Troy had darn good ones too, as well as Edgerrin, I dunno if I could single one out.
Very good choices for the HoF.
we love you Billy!!!!!!! finally where he belongs for life
It's hard to express how much I love the Steelers!
I can name ALL of the head coaches since 1969, Noll,Cowher,Tomlin. That tells you how great of an organization the Stillers are, and how lucky we are ....
Steelers Nation misses you, coach!
Bill Cowher is my all-time favorite Pittsburgh Steeler, a true class act yet no nonsense that can kick ass one minute and nurture the next
One of the best weekends for Steelers and Steeler nation.
Congratulations coach Cowher! 👍🏻
Bill Cowher will forever and always be the chin and one of the best coaches of The Pittsburgh Steelers and he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame way to go Bill Cowher. 😀😃😍🤩❤👍🏻👏🏻🤟🏻🤞🏻
I love this man with all of my heart.
Bill Cowher was, and always will be my coach as well
Imagine a player goin in to HOF same year as your coach..Polamalu and Cowher. Wonder how many times that has happened?
once!
Loved watching him coach the Steelers all those years!
All of the speeches were great this year
The Chin is In💯💪🏿
Watching bill cowher go in was really amazing. A great coach, really enjoy him as a broadcaster, and now a pro football hall of famer. Amazing career, a job more than well done. Congratulations coach Cowher.
I could do without the 3000 ads shown to watch 12 minutes of video.
Great speech! The legendary chin & grin!
COWHER POWER!
Respect from Baltimore 🤝
Love

Got to see him a few times when i was younger, his daughter went to my high school in NC.
Man, 9:16 to 9:21 hit me hard. Marty Schottenheimer's name was mentioned by Bill Cowher, and his daughter Kristen and his wife of 53 years just lost it. I grew up off of Schottenheimer's career as the Chiefs' head coach all the way up until he led my beloved San Diego Chargers. May he rest in peace.
Love the 10 minute mark where the Pittsburgh accent comes out… ‘Sa urday’ and ‘bas e ball’!
Go Coach Ca-ar, go Stillers!
I’m proud of you Bill
Damn he stood up there like a champ !!!!! Great speech sheesh
So polished. Great speech.
I miss him on the sidelines. His facial expressions, spit flying.. nobody like him.
Thank you for everything coach! Troy, Alan were your picks and what a job 💯 love from Pittsburgh
What a great guy. Congratulations and God bless you
I liked the Steelers from the 70s. Congrats Coach. Im a hometown falcon fan but always loved him. Even on tv
Definitely miss the steel curtain vs the autumn wind back in the days. Raiders vs Steelers.
I can see why these coaches are truly loved! Amazing leaders who inspire everyone to be better! Congrats!
6:22 His shout out to Chuck Amato was my favorite part of the video
Bill team vs Browns preseason game. Coach was a Brown. LB. Got his autograph when fans where allowed on the field to get autographs from players. And here he is. My autograph hangs NOW with a gold jacket.
Congratulations to Coach Cowher. I despise the Steelers and those annoying towels, but I can recognize excellence on the field. The beauty about sports is it brings people from all background together.
Love Bill Cowher!! Marty should be in the hall if Fame, great coach!!
Bill Cower is so deserving of enshrinement into the halls of Canton. He was intense, emotional, and passionate about the game and his team.
He should still be coaching, he wouldn't wanna put it all on the field for this man ,Congrats Coach HOF !

Coach 💛🖤
Congrats to Bill Cowher. 🎉🎉🍾🍾
Pittsburgh always has that family vibe in their venues , 70% of the people walk to these venues which is awesome!
Walked to every game in my life to Heinz. One of the best parts. Go to at least one a year. Hopefully we can go to some this year and watch Ben's possible last season.
@@CapoKies yes I stayed there once in the winter for 3 months at a friend's house and I loved it👍👍👍
We love you coach!

Even as a Browns fan, respect is due. Hats off to a great career
Really sucks Kevin Greene isn't with us anymore. Stand up dude even as a hated Steeler legend
I love Bill Cowher!
Thanks coach you brought the Steelers back to respectability
Grew up with my dad shouting, “Give me your Cowher face!”
One of the best ever....
Good speech coach!!!!!
James Harrison looks like he can still eat players on the field
Because he can 😂
Bruhhhh I seen dude and was like yo he's still got it that dude YOLKED
Bruhhhh I seen dude and was like yo he's still got it that dude YOLKED
he's trash..not missed here in Pittsburgh at all
@@lauramarzen7081 100% false.
Beautiful speech! The Pittsburgh Steelers needed that hard nosed smash mouth coach that was bill and we went to 2 superbowls and won 1 and I always will say bill Cowher is my favorite coach of all time! And Mike Tomlin is my favorite too lol
Cowher's run as the Steelers coach is a story in belief. Every owner should look at what the Rooney family has done as owners who stick with their coaches through thick and thin, because it creates the culture of belief in themselves and it passes down each generation of players.
The Steelers are one of my favorite teams because of how they stay with their head coach and developed the culture of how football should be. Every team should learn from this.
Great speech
That was Great
Congrats coach
I liked Cower when he was the defensive coordinator in KC. I saw an ESPN profile of him. And I respect the hell out of him. He was a great coach...a great husband....a great father. Not necessarily in that order. He is a class act...and though the Steelers were a foe for teh Chiefs over the years....they were greater because of him. Congratulations coach.
We need someone like bill to be president of our country. Dude is a true leader
What a great person
Dang I didn't know Kevin Greene died I always liked them when he was playing the game and he was defensive coach or whatever he did with us in Green Bay I was wondering why he wasn't in Green Bay this year last year this year or whatever rest in peace big green but good for Coach coward for including green
The disrespect with all these ads smh
Awesome
