Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher was surprised to learn he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame while he was live on-air of CBS's "The NFL Today" on Saturday.

Prior to the Tennessee Titans' divisional matchup with the Baltimore Ravens Saturday night, Cowher was greeted by David Baker, the president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, on CBS's set. Baker went on to inform Cowher that he will be inducted in Canton, Ohio.

"Coach, I want to thank you for all you've done for the game, for all you're going to do for the game," Baker said.
