Bill Cowher Starts Quotations

He's going to go through a lot of theatrics. But you don't want to tip your hand too soon. We'll all be looking at the play clock. ... So when he starts doing all of that stuff with 19 or 20 seconds to go, you've just got to be patient.

We have a very healthy organization. It starts at the top. There's no ego involved. We try to get things done as a team.

I've been waiting a long time to do this. It's almost surreal. A lot of people tell you that you can't do it, but that doesn't mean that you can't keep trying and finally get it done. I was just one small part of this, believe me. I've got a special organization around me, and it all starts at the top.

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. We've got a special organization, and it starts at the top. I couldn't be more happy for Mr. Rooney, for the coaches, for the players and for the city of Pittsburgh.
