Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher is on his way to Canton, Ohio.
David Baker, president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, informed Cowher on the set of CBS' The NFL Today that he was a member of the hall's centennial class for 2020:
CBS Sports @CBSSportsThe newest member of the @ProFootballHOF: Bill Cowher. Congratulations, @CowherCBS! #PFHOF20 https://t.co/s5f1gXuDfO
To celebrate the NFL's 100th anniversary, the Hall of Fame amended its rules to increase the size of the upcoming induction class for candidates who had fallen short on the ballot in years prior.
