A total of 20 football legends will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton in the NFL’s centennial class, and one member found out that he’ll soon be receiving a gold jacket on the CBS pre-game show before the Titans-Ravens game on Saturday night.
David Baker, the president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, wandered on the CBS set to surprise Cowher, and revealed that the former Pittsburgh Steelers coach and Super Bowl XL champion has become a Hall of Famer.
Cowher won 61 percent of his games as a head coach in the NFL, and posted a record of 161-99-1, all in Pittsburgh. He led the Steelers to a division title in eight of his 15 seasons in charge, and Pittsburgh played in a total of six AFC title games and two Super Bowls under Cowher, winning Super Bowl XL against the Seahawks in 2006.
