Bill Cowher Full Hall of Fame Speech | 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame | NFL 

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.

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 !!

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.

Bill Cowher’s enshrinement like Jimmy Johnson’s was long overdue, but he also made it to Canton. Congratulations

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.

Had me crying when he mentioned Kevin Green. It was beautiful.

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!

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.

B.C. is my favorite head coach ever and I'm not a Pittsburgh fan. Congrats Coach Cowher!!! A well deserved honor!!!!

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

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.

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.

So glad that Bill was able to mention the huge influence of Marty Schottenheimer. Marty belongs in Canton as well.

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.

Chuck Noll and Art Rooney Sr. are both probably smiling from heaven. :)

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.

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.

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!!

It's hard to express how much I love the Steelers!

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.

One of the best weekends for Steelers and Steeler nation.

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. 😀😃😍🤩❤👍🏻👏🏻🤟🏻🤞🏻

Watching this again makes me think of Dan Rooney so much. I became a Steeler fan in 93 because of him

I’m proud of you Bill

Thank you for everything coach! Troy, Alan were your picks and what a job 💯 love from Pittsburgh

I could do without the 3000 ads shown to watch 12 minutes of video.

I miss him on the sidelines. His facial expressions, spit flying.. nobody like him.

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

Damn he stood up there like a champ !!!!! Great speech sheesh

Great speech! The legendary chin & grin!

Love Coach Bill ♥️🌟💙🇺🇸🇺🇸 🖤💛🐝🐝🐝🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

What a great guy. Congratulations and God bless you

I can see why these coaches are truly loved! Amazing leaders who inspire everyone to be better! Congrats!

Definitely miss the steel curtain vs the autumn wind back in the days. Raiders vs Steelers.

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.

Pittsburgh always has that family vibe in their venues , 70% of the people walk to these venues which is awesome!

He should still be coaching, he wouldn't wanna put it all on the field for this man ,Congrats Coach HOF !

2021 NFL HALL OF FAMER BILL COWHER

Always liked this guy.

Congrats to Bill Cowher. 🎉🎉🍾🍾

Love Bill Cowher!! Marty should be in the hall if Fame, great coach!!

This is so cool I play for carlynton now he took us to a game 2 years ago my freshman year

Thanks coach you brought the Steelers back to respectability

If bill had had big ben or another franchise qb for his whole career the steelers would have won a minimum 5 superbowls. No doubt in my mind.

We love you coach!

Coach 💛🖤

I love this man with all of my heart. Bill Cowher was, and always will be my coach as well

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

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.

Remember he was Cleveland Brown first by playing for them and then a coach. Respect him as a coach and a person but hated it when he went to coach the other team

If it werent for Coach Marty Schottenheimer, Bill wouldn't be in the hall. He gave Bill his 1st coaching opportunity. Bill was thinking about retiring and going back to his hometown to be a high school coach. Coach Marty saw something in him and the rest is history.🏈🏈

I know everyone he mentioned at the end were looking down on him smiling

That was Great

Loved the speech

I'll give Steelers fans credit they come out in mass to represent

Greatest franchise in sports history, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thank you Coach Cowher

I always thought Bill Cowher was going to replace Tom Coughlin and be the next Giants' coach. He would have been a great fit with the Giants. I am very surprised considering the caliber coach he was that he never coached again. Bill Cowher came to the league as a young head coach and he retired relatively young as a coach as well.

VERY INTENSE SALUTE ... 💯💪🏾❤👍🏾... ONLY COACHES I LOVE ARE OUR STEELERS NATION COACHES ( COWHER , TOMLIN AND MR STANDARD ) ... ONLY REAL STEELERS NATION WOULD KNOW AN UNDERSTAND MR STANDARD. ( CHUCK NOLL ) .. 💪🏾💯👍🏾❤

Congrats coach

My coach. Nothing like SteelerNation

You can boo all you want if not for Cleveland giving him a job as a coach got him ready for a super bowl

Bill Cowher head coach Pittsburgh Steelers from the early 90s replacement legendary Chuck Noll 1992 - 1993 never won the playoffs it was sad part Steelers 🏈

🐐

There's a gleam men. There's a gleam. Let's get Marty that gleam. Put the man in the Hall where he belongs.

COWHER POWER!!

I can’t wait for Tomlin to follow Bill into the hall of fame. The Steelers head coaches are a small but elite group. Steelers nation will always be world class.

How in the hell is marty not in the hall of fame!!!!!!!!

Shame they cant find audio without people yapping while these guys are talking

Bust shoulda just been the stache, extra polish on the chin

That's how to get a Pittsburgh fella choked up lol.

RAIDERS SHOULD HIRE HIM AS HEAD COACH!!!

Hard not to get emotional during this speech.

None of these coaches deserve to be in more than don coryell.

Pittsburgh runs the NFL and the HOF

Mike tomlin next

The people talking in the background drives me insane

Epitome of being a Pittsburgh Steeler- blue collar

412 👍

Why can't I find Peyton Mannings hall of Fame speech did he not speak?

It just doesn't seem right to see him with somebody other than Kaye.

Bro am I tripping or does it sound like there is people talking like in the back ground like super low

That had to be the worst bust I’ve ever seen. His chin should be much bigger!!

Not enough CHIN on that bust..sorry, lol

He lost several AFC Championship games at home...and was held to under ten points in multiple playoff games as well....Just like Marty Schottenheimer who he coached under....great motivator...ultra conservative....Hall of Fame coach...no

Bill Cowher does not belong in the HOF.!

Overrated

Eventually everybody will get in! The Hall is a joke

Absolute legend, second only to Noll himself

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

James Harrison looks like he can still eat players on the field

The Chin is In💯💪🏿

If my dad were still here, he would’ve been so proud. Miss him every day.

It's still amazing the Steelers have only had three coaches in their entire history & all of them won a superbowl

As a chiefs fan I respect Bill and knowledge of the game he definitely earned it congratulations 👏 👍 👌

we love you Billy!!!!!!! finally where he belongs for life

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!

Steelers Nation misses you, coach!

Thanks Mr Cowher! Here we Steelers! Here we go!

Imagine a player goin in to HOF same year as your coach..Polamalu and Cowher. Wonder how many times that has happened?

Bill Cowher is the reason I became a Steelers fan, I've never seen a coach so passionate about the game of football.
