Tomlin: Bill Cowher Did Call Plays In HOF Game, ‘Marveled’ At How Much Defensive Verbiage Remains Intact

The Pittsburgh Steelers had an epic Hall of Fame weekend back in August, which featured the enshrinement of a number of their own. From safety Troy Polamalu and guard Alan Faneca to scout and executive Bill Nunn and former head coach Bill Cowher, it was a black and gold extravaganza. And it provided a great legacy-building moment for the franchise.

Cowher, who preceded current head coach Mike Tomlin now 15 years ago, jokingly suggested that he was hoping to call a couple of blitzes during the Hall of Fame Game. Tomlin took him literally, as he affirmed while speaking to Pat McAfee on Thursday.
