Born in Pittsburgh in 1957, Bill Cowher coached the Steelers – and no other team – during a 15-year career in which he won over 60 percent of his games and led them to a Super Bowl title in 2005. After playing for the Browns and Eagles for four seasons mostly on special teams and as a backup linebacker, Cowher served as an assistant coach under Marty Schottenheimer for the Browns and Chiefs before taking over the Pittsburgh job in 1992. A fiery presence with his face often cemented into a scowl (“Bill Cowher just might be the angriest man in the whole world,” the comedian Jimmy Kimmel once joked), Cowher once reacted to an incorrect too-many-men-on-the-field penalty call by stuffing a photograph into the pocket of a referee’s shirt, for which Cowher was fined $7,500. But he was also a unique leader with an ability to connect and motivate his players – “like a psychologist,” Jerome Bettis once said of him. And he also displayed a soft side: In 1997, after Steelers QB Kordell Stewart scored on a 74-yard touchdown run, Cowher kissed him on the cheek. “I’m an emotional guy; it’s an emotional game,” Cowher explained afterward.
