Bill Cowher Coaches Quotations

No one feels worse about losing a game like that than the players and coaches in that locker room. They throw everything into it. No one felt worse than Tommy. I mean, this is a quality individual. We all understand the criticisms that come with this game and we understand that, but when you start taking it outside the field, to the house, to the kids, to me, you've crossed the line.

I don't know when it's going to hit me, but a lot of hard work went into it by these coaches and these players. Eight weeks ago, I don't think anybody would have thought we'd be here today.

I would never stand in the way of any of our coaches if they have a dream of becoming a head coach. We'll work within the league structure. ... I have no problem with that.

We've got some guys who have not been there before, but we have a lot of coaches who have been there before.

We have a lot of coaches who have been there before. We'll try to educate them, but this will be a very important week, no doubt.

You don't notice him much if you don't watch a lot of film. But the coaches see it all the time. He's really smart, he's really sound and, at any time, he's going to come up with a play to beat you.

We came a long way. This is a special organization and I'm happy for the players, coaches and the city of Pittsburgh.

I've never had a problem with that. It's flattering to be wanted, and certainly I would never stand in the way of any of our coaches if they have a dream of becoming a head coach. If I can help them in any way I would certainly do so and will do so.

This is a special group of players, these guys are so deserving - I couldn't be more happy for Mr. Rooney, the players, the coaches and the city.

It starts at the top, there is no question about that. I've been very blessed and fortunate to be in a very stable organization. At the same time, you can take nothing for granted. You still have to go out there every year and improve yourself. You ask players to do it and I think as coaches you have to do it. I think we all understand that. I'm just very fortunate and blessed to be part of an organization that is very open, very stable and very understanding.

It's almost surreal right now. This is a special group of coaches and a special group of players. All year long they were resilient.
