I like to dabble in a lot of things.
— Bill Cowher
I've probably watched more basketball games than anything.
I like the ability to wake up and say, 'Well, now what are we going to do?'
When I was coaching, I wasn't worried about what I was making. I was worried about winning a championship.
A guy like Saquon Barkley is really a three-down player. You see the size, the speed, the quickness, the elusiveness, the power. He's a unique individual.
As a quarterback, you have to have a short memory. Don't lose your confidence, and stay within yourself. Don't try to do too much.
I'm a New Yorker. I never thought I'd say that.
I think the bottom line is wins and losses. That is probably the most important stat to look at.
The biggest thing as a head coach, you want to make sure you exhaust every option.
A lot of times losing a game is not taking care of the football, foolish penalties.
To be taught to coach by Marty Schottenheimer, to be able to go to an organization like the Steelers. I came there at 34, probably brash, ready to set my niche.
I miss the combative back and forth, strategic elements of the game on Sunday. Making the adjustments, and what you've prepared for all week all of a sudden isn't there.
I had the best job in the NFL.
I was blessed to play a small role in the Steelers tradition.
The goal is to hit your stride, stay in the hunt and be playing your best football in December.
I think coaches are very much guilty of trying to implement players into their schemes as opposed as trying to fit schemes into players. That's the thing that can separate good coaches from bad.
I find most video games too complicated to play.
I think when you do anything at a high level, it's very difficult to just stop and do nothing.
I've always wanted to walk into a hotel, sit at a piano and play 'Piano Man.'
I've had a couple of people - prominent coaches - walk into an office, shut the door and say, 'What's it like, not coaching?' They're scared. They're scared not to have that. And I'll tell them, 'You know, it's different. You're not going to replace coaching. But there's some normality that's out there, and that's also kind of refreshing.'
I don't think running backs have ever been under-valued.
If I'm Colin Kaepernick I have to prove myself. I would say, 'I would love the opportunity to show that I am a championship-winning quarterback again, and I understand that I am not going to be handed anything and that I would love the opportunity to come back.' If he said that it would open the ears of a lot of teams.
I just love the Buffalo market. Say what you want about their fans, it'll be December and they've been out of the playoffs for a month. But if there's a December game with snow, there's still going to be 72,000 people in those stands. One of the most passionate, loyal groups of fans in the National Football League, bar none.
When you think about a Hall of Fame player, you think about someone who impacted the game, someone you had to game plan for.
I wanted to be my'self and I wanted the play'ers to take pride in ev'ery'thing they did. We rep'resent the Pitts'burgh Steel'ers but we also rep'resent the city of Pitts'burgh. You're a leader and a role model, whether you want to be or not.
You go back to fundamentals when things start to go awry.
I coached Derrick Thomas for the first three years of his career. He was a special player.
Antonio Brown is, if not the best receiver in the league, one of the best.
I've been very blessed to be surrounded by some very special people.
When you talk about tradition, and organizations, the Steelers are one of the best in the NFL.
As a kid you were proud to say you were from Pittsburgh.
Tom Coughlin has done a great job and is an excellent coach.
The one thing you have to be careful of is trying to do what other teams and players are doing when you don't have the people to do it yourself.
The draft is like game day on a 3rd-and-5. You have a lot of plays you can choose from. You go with your gut, pick and play and hope it works.
I'm very comfortable at CBS.
Don't get me wrong; I miss the live elements of coaching.
Let me tell you something: I'm a simple person who lives a simple life.
I think a guy like Saquon Barkley is a very special back, and where the was drafted was very appropriate.
The ozone is breaking down more and more each year; that's a fact. That being said, we have to be more conscious of the sun and what it can do to your skin.
Going back to being a head coach entails a full-time commitment to that job and I would not go into it for any amount of money and do it halfway. It would be a total commitment, not part-time.
It is a lot easier to kick off a turf field than it is off a grass field.
We won a lot of games, we brought play'off games to the city of Pitts'burgh, we won play'off games.
The one thing you don't want to do is get to a point where losing becomes a habit.
Dan Rooney was my boss, my father, my friend, my mentor.
Le'Veon Bell, as we have seen through the years when healthy, is such a dynamic player not just out of the backfield, but as a receiver.
Keith Butler is a very good football coach.
To be recognized for making the contributions I did, along with the others who are part of the Hall of Honor, it really is humbling. Particularly when you grow up in Pittsburgh and know what the Steelers mean to the city. To me, as a little boy growing up watching the Steelers, this means a lot to me. It's special.
I was blessed to have followed a legendary coach in Chuck Noll.
It's hard to throw the football when you have some instability at quarterback or if you don't have the weapons around you.
All the projects that coaches go through in the offseason are based on the success other teams had in every area whether it's offense, defense or special teams. What they do is see if they can incorporate anything they see with the people they have.
