Bill Cowher had big shoes to fill when he took over as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach in 1992. However, he managed to carve out his own Hall of Fame legacy, upholding the standard. He didn’t do it alone, though. Cowher coached numerous phenomenal players. Some of them, like Ben Roethlisberger and Troy Polamalu, seemed to make Cowher a little more nervous due to their free-flowing play styles. It sounds like he had the perfect mindset to coach those players.
“When Josh Allen breaks the pocket, it was almost like when Ben used to break the pocket,” Cowher said Friday on The Dan Patrick Show.
