In less than a month, former Steelers Coach Bill Cowher will stand on the stage at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, alongside a player he drafted and coached in Troy Polamalu, and a player he watched as a kid in Donnie Shell, all being enshrined as members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2020.
It will be the culmination in what has been a long wait after his enshrinement in 2020 was postponed because of the pandemic, but he knows it will all be worth the wait.
"You realize when you go through this that all the people that were part of the process allowed you to have that success," said Cowher during a zoom call on Tuesday. "For me to be able to be enshrined is the culmination of a lot of work from a lot of people, support staff, players and coaches, family and friends that were there along the way. I think as we get closer and all these fall into place, I just want to enjoy it. I really just want to soak it up, have a chance to spend time the guys I haven't seen, players, some of the coaches I have not seen."
