Bill Cowher Close Quotations

We've got a very close team. Jerome has been an inspiration to us all year.

No one has handled it more inspirationally than Tony and his wife. That's the unfortunate part of our profession, that we live in a fishbowl and we have to experience that with the rest of America. Sometimes those are things you'd just like to share with those you are very close to, but Tony has found out that he's very close to a lot of us.

We've been close many times. So certainly I think you cherish the opportunity that you have coming here, and you try to relay that to the players.

By no means is this a team to be written off. If you back a competitor into a corner, they are going to come out fighting. ... It is going to be a close football game. It always is.

Good teams win close games. Good teams have quality depth, and when players are asked to step in, there's not a drop-off, ... It's not the circumstance that affects you. It's how you deal with it. I truly believe that.

Grant's been with us, and we like Grant. He knows the system. He knows the guys. I think right now I don't want to bring too many foreign people into our team. It's a very close football team, and I want to keep it that way.
