Bill Cowher will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August. He will be a part of the 10-person Hall of Fame weekend class that will also include the five modern enshrinees, which includes Troy Polamalu, the first time a coach and a player he drafted and coached will be enshrined together.
Cowher took over the head coaching job for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the early 1990s after Chuck Noll retired. Noll, who shortly thereafter was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame himself, is widely regarded as having been one of the greatest to ever coach the game, both as a fundamentalist and as an innovator.
