From the very 1st game you never knew what Cowher had up his sleeve.
Cowher's draft picks was good
Wrong
My entire class laughed at me when I said the Steelers would win this game.
What they say when they won
Steelers #7 Super Bowl Championship 2021-2022 baby!!!
The start of an era
He was a guy who treated his players right, and they wanted to play for him because of the respect he showed them. You gotta love a guy who believes in you and fights for you harder than you do yourself at times.
Yeah and it's the same way with Steelers of today, the players love Coach T, even opposing players love Coach T, it just hasn't produced more Super Bowls, same with Cowher
I'd take Cower back in a heartbeat.
So
It’s spelled COWHER!
@@nala3038 wah
Couldn't agree more...
Why? So we could lose AFC championship games at home? So we could lose against an expansion Houston Texans even though they only had 47 yards on offense and 3 first downs? So we could continually downplay the QB position (even when Ben was there) and lose games because we were too dedicated to the run and couldn't make comebacks? Cowher was great, but his team had serious weaknesses, just like Tomlin's teams. And, there were just as many people then crying out they would take Noll back, completely forgetting all of Noll's problems the last few years he was coach. Hindsight isn't always 20/20 when nostalgia over-rules reality.
Damn it is cool to see some great footage of Woodson back when. He was really something special. No hesitation on getting that gold jacket after he retired for sure.
I remember when he was drafted. "The fastest man in the world". He skipped his first year in the NFL to be in the Olympics.
O'Donnell too I miss the Stewart/O'Donnell days!
Loved when Barry foster busted out of the scene in 92’ . It was a race between him and emmitt smith for the rushing title that year . Foster still has the all time single season rushing record at 1690 for the Steelers.
COWHER POWER
I grew up in Houston and was like 8 yrs when this game was played. I hated the Oilers lol. Now I live in Pittsburgh and I'm a die hard Steeler fan. Life is ironic.
P.O.S. TRAITOR!!!
@@BIG-D-STAR lol How bout them boys?
Free Man, you made good choices with your life I see.
The Steelers were 14 point dogs in this game. Crazy
Coach Noll, Coach Cowher & Coach Tomlin won their 1st game as Head Coach of the Steelers
Actually tomlin won on the coattails of cowher for years until he drafted his own coaches and players. Now we see the end result of how tomlin sucks ass as a coach
@@daveisnothere5005 do you always embarrass yourself when you speak?
@@dmeads5663 not embarrassing as watching the steelers get their ass handed to the them TWICE to the chiefs without any kind of adjustments. Talk about quality coaching 😆
0:13 That is one helluva luxurious mullet!
I remember that game and that season, Cower Power!
I know Chuck Noll got it started & ppl like Mike Tomlin but Bill Cowher will always be my favorite Steelers Coach just because I loved his personality & The Chin!
Couldn't agree more. Bill is my favorite Steelers coach. Got an autographed photo of him holding up the SuperBowl trophy in my Man Cave. I was kinda hoping the Steelers wouldn't renew Tomlin's contract and instead bring Bill back... oh well.
@@wpaoff-road Myself exactly!
I remember that game i was 21 thinking we are going to be good i told my cousin because houston was good they had our number for awhile until that game
Damn. 5 interceptions and you barely squeak out a win by 5 points. A W is a W though.
Remember being stuck in major traffic going to this game in Houston and had to just park down the street from the dome! Walked in right when oilers went up 14 to 0. Had a scalped ticket to this game. 50 yard line seat and right as I was sitting down got to see the fake punt! Worth every penny I spent that day!
That’s awesome! Man, can’t imagine how awesome that would have been to see live... Especially showing up 14-0!
@@ItzYinzburgh yeah living here being a steelers fan during the 80s and 90s was great because I could go to see my team once a year! I always hated that oilers fight song! I was at that playoff game here too on new years eve when Gary Anderson won the game! Barely made it out of the astrodome alive! Oilers fans were soooo mad!
I can’t imagine! I didn’t get to witness the Houston rivalry, that sounds like a spectacular time. No better times than your squad winning in enemy territory!
Watching the rod woodson int of incidental contact i fucking miss the old days of the NFL when the defense was actually allowed to play the game.
I miss Rod..loved that dude!!
wow, thanx so much for posting.. made me smile.... back in the day, i got entertained by Bill Cowher, and his reactions sometimes as much as the play on the field.. ha,ha.. I wrote Bill, and asked for his autograph.. and said if not, continued success.. He sent a autographed glossy within a week
Cowher instantly showed how good coaching is every bit if not more important then good players! How a average team with the right coaching becomes a super bowl contender over night .
You sound pretty smart guy!
that guy on the right has some spicy hair and mustache
I’m not even a Steelers fan and I enjoyed this
Love the memories! Thanks!
The start of the Steelers gadget plays. Say hello to the Blitzburgh Steelers that were a mirror to the Steel Curtain of the 70’s.
You could just tell this team was on the rise. COWHER got the most out of his talent. Heck of a coach!!!
Won money on this game as a 16 year old kid in high school. As a matter of fact , I’ve never lost money every time I had bet on the Steelers to win the game!
I wish I could say the same! 😂
Houston's fumble recovery and touchdown by Johnny Meads.....I met him. Really nice guy. Runs a truck driving school near Pensacola, Florida.
O'Donnell dropping some dimes! Imagine if Najee goes 1992 Barry Foster? I believe his 12 100 yard rushing games is still tied for the most in NFL history and is the AFC most ever. Here's a fun fact: #20 Dwight Stone is the fastest receiver to ever play for the Steelers.
What I remember about this game is Stone dropped about 3 passes that were right in his hands and got benched for dropping a punt. On the last 3rd down, I was screaming "just don't let stupid Stone touch the dang ball!" Then he reverses for the game sealing 1st down. Everyone in the house was giving it to me pretty bad. I didn't live that down for weeks.
ryan falcone He wasn't known as the stone hands of Pittsburgh for nothing
Dwight "Hands of" Stone.
Really miss him as Steelers coach.
Peter King did an outstanding write-up of this game in his book "Under The Helmet."
i remember this game.
I was 12 or so at the time and still distinctly remember this game. I recall feeling that maybe the Steelers had turned a corner with the new guy (even though it was only one game).
Tossed the football around with my dad afterwards.
That was cool. Always a ton of respect for Cowher. Loved his enthusiasm.
We didn't have the Sunday Ticket back in the day so we had to rely on the sport ticker showing scores of other games, updates from broadcast studio, and /or a blowout to skip to another game.
12 years old, I didn't think the Steelers were going to beat the Oilers bc they were tough at home but when " Steelers 29 Oilers 24 F " showed up from the sports ticker, I was shocked. My dad came in from his bedroom to see smiling saying he knew a friend that recorded on vcr and was going to get it the next day to see what the hell happened bc he was shocked as well.
Cowher Power was born that day
I was 10 and remember it well. I remember knoll and brister the yr before, wishing they could get a new qb. O'Donnell was actually a pretty good qb, shame he'll never out live those 2 missed timing routes the wr went the wrong way in the sb. My first Jersey was the 91 Kevin Green.
Football is not the same game as it was when I was a kid.
Yeah, tell me about it! I was a kid in the "Steel Curtain" era.
@@GoSlash27 I live in Ohio and people always want to know, why am I a Steeler fan? I love great defense. Unfortunately, the NFL does not want defense in the game of football anymore. I understand getting Romanowski style penalized, but if you make a great play or hit, there is a good chance of a penalty. Sucks In which case, I will take getting penalized a few times a game.
Win or lose, we played football.
Under Cowher it was hardcore and smash mouth football. We’d see our team lose by 20 but we knew they’d remember playing the Steelers bc we hit hard as hell. Not the case today. Nobody fears us.
@Baba Ganush 0-1 that’s the record I see
@Baba Ganush yeah some like regular season wins. I liked when I got to brag about being from a city who won the most Super Bowls
And some great years would come.
I'll never forget having left the room in disgust after it was 14-0 and my dad yelling for me to come back because they had just converted a fake punt. I was like, "Fake..... WHAT?!?!?" I had HEARD OF other teams doing stuff like that but after watching conservative Chuck Noll Steelers football all my life, I never imagined my team doing something innovative. That's when I knew Cowher was going to be something special.
Great coach, for sure.
He did alot with Chuck Noll's team and players.
Excellent stuff!!!
I love your channel. Thanks for the memories!!
Cowher was a great coach!
I could watch Barry run the ball all day!!!
And Bam Morris
I’ve actually uploaded a Barry Foster video for today! It will be live later this evening
@@ItzYinzburgh good deal, thanx. Love those big backs..Bus,..Csonka..Herschel..Riggins..Alstott..Bam Morris..Earl Cambell
Barry “ Bananas “ Foster!
Bring the early '90s back please
Go STEELER NATION!
HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!
Wow so good
Steelers Legend
COWHER POWER 💪
Barry Fosters quads were GINORMOUS!
Cower Power!
I remember that game
Graham had a DAY lol. I miss having the Oilers in the league
Imagine how great these teams could have done if they had had a franchise quarterback
Miss that era
1:13
That’s 2021 Steelers soon-to-be football, right there.
Funny to see Coach Munch
Cowher was awesome. The biggest problem back then for the Steelers was Neil O’Donnell. But they didn’t have anybody on the team that was any better
12.5 underdogs, and they stole the show
Does that sportscaster have a Perm?
you can see how instant replay has changed the game. The second touchdown By the Huston Oliers Ernest Givins was out of bounds he jump up to catch the ball and landed in the white. But because it happened so fast and not having instant replay the referees give touchdown them the touchdown.
They had a "force out rule" if the receiver is pushed out by defenders presence in a situation where he could have landed in bounds otherwise they gave it to them
Jesus, this has gotta be Moon's worst game of all time? Minus the comeback 😉
@Baba Ganush it's how u bounce back.
Hot Rod was the shxt!
That must be the only pass I ever saw stone hands catch!!!
Funny how new coaches, college or pro, always do exotic stuff like fake punts, unexpected reverses, etc… and then they steer away from it into a world of predictability. More coaches should act like young coaches.
Rod Woodson another all time great. But even in retrospect forcing a guy like Warren Moon to throw five picks ...
I miss coach
The Steelers wound up being the #1 seed in the AFC (wound up being soundly beaten by the Bills).
Come on back coach. I'm sure that door will part open if you made the call, you coached under some tough times and left under some tough times, come on back cause it's a better life now and we need a coach
You should do jujus pop off game vs the lions
The Steelers went into Houston and blasted an Oilers team hot off a strong '91 campaign.
Always saw Darren Perry was underrated
Bring cowher back
A fake punt in his first game!! That takes giant kahunes . Like to see if Pressley Harvin the 3rd makes the team and does this. 👍
Rip #73
Announcer: "Really, Gatorade shower after 1 game"
It's his first game and it was a victory dip $hit. SMH Then he backs up what the other announcer says agreeing with him like he didn't just say something stupid.
Really loved Charlie Jones.
I was just gonna say that. He was teamed up with joel myers a lot iirc. Nfl on NBC back in the mid to late 90's was the best
One of the original announcers for the AFL. He was good.
@@jamesdye8473 no shit? Wow. That i didn't know. Afl B4 my time. I mispoke about him being paired w/ Joel Myers. He was often paired with Bob Trumpy. Who later in his (Trumpy's) career was paired w/Myers on Westwood one radio for nfl broadcasts.
He went to work for the Dallas Texans in their inaugural year of 1960 then was calling games for ABC later that year. I wish some of these early AFL games existed cause it’s got my attention. The only one that I know of is the 1962 AFL Championship Game with Curt Gowdy and Jack Buck.
I wish they ran the ball under Tomlin like they did under cowher
Foster was the truth
When it was announced that Bill Cowher was the new head coach I said, "Who???"
The chin will always be my favorite chin
I loved Bananas
Warren Moon looked like Neil O'Donnell in the SuperBowl after taking that phat envelope from Rocko & Knuckles. (Yes I am saying he threw that game)
I always wondered about that SB. I’m surprised Parcells trusted him enough on the Jets if he saw that game.
When the Steelers knew how to play defense.
Dear Pittsburgh...#26 is a first rounder...unlike the bullshit we have now.
were there no clips of him yelling and spitting on the sidelines in the first 3 quarters? Is it really a Cowher video if we're not showing Cowher's jaw? That's like a Pete Carroll video without any gum.
I'm only guessing but aside from Ben and Bradshaw, O'Donnell was the best QB in Steeler history.
Donald Evans
Dwight stone
Jeff Graham
Adrian cooper
Larry griffin. Forget about these guys
Get a lead and run the clock out
I did Know white men can have a Jerry curl that announcer was was Jerry curled up! 🤣
Man I miss them days. Football was just more exciting and played by men who seem to give it all they had. I’m over all the Social Justice B.S these pre madonnas have on their football helmets and all the woke B.S writing on the field and goalposts. I used to LOVE the NFL. The Lefts B.S just sucked the love out of me for the game I loved.
a fake punt, and then a reverse on 3 and 5 with the game on the line.
That had to be one of moon’s worst games I just remember him being better. Maybe blinded by black and gold.
Yes, the Steelers are down right now after 2020 and their downfall at the end of the year......yes, it appears as if more bad times are ahead when Ben retires as the offense and defense cupboard is not filled very well right now.......but we've been spoiled with success for YEARS.........however, to everyone wishing Cowher was back, remember this statistic:: Bill Cowher as a head coach was 1-4 in HOME AFC TItle games. 1 and 4.....and that 1 win only happened because the Colts Quentin Coryat dropped a gimme pick in the 4th and the Steelers surviveda hail mary at the end.......of all 4 losses, outside 2004 where the Pats were the better team, there is only one reason they lost those games...Cowher coached the playoffs scared to make a mistake and it cost him and the team time and time again......94 vs SD they were the WAY better team but werent as aggressive as normal cause it was the playoffs. 95 vs IND they were the WAY better team and the same thing happeend (although they won). 97 vs Den they handled the Broncos and put a bunch of points on the board near the end of the regular season, but again they were coached scared and only woke up when it was way too late. 2001 vs NE, Bettis goes for a pain shot and it messes him up. They had no other plans from the way they played the game until, again, they were down and had to try and dig out..which they couldnt. You really want that back? I don't. Tomlin's had 2 AFC title games at home, and the team won them both.....
Oh and Cowher's 1 Super Bowl? The Steelers played like dog shit in that game. Their entire highlight package is two plays........
Cowher coached like his mentor Marty Schottenheimer....and both collapsed in major situations a LOT.
Warren Moon worst hof qb ever.
His first game looks like every game Tomlin has after 12 years. And as many Super Bowl titles except I’d still bet that Cowher would have 2 if he didn’t retire. Tomlin is the new Marvin Lewis of the AFC North. He’s been out coached by every team within and more than half the others in the AFC. A great players coach and gets players to buy in better than any in the NFL but totally sucks in pivotal games. Sadly nobody around is better to replace him so we gotta ride out the greats to see this slightly above average be great himself among the rookie class
Cowher wasn't all that great his one Superbowl winning ass and had losing season so what the hell you talking about don't come with that BS
@@mikegiles9702 Tomlin doesn’t embody Pittsburgh football like he did
There is SO much that goes into a head coach. Talent Eval. Getting the most out of his players. Hiring great asst coaches. Game management. Strategy. Handling adversity. Getting along with the General Manager and ownership. Starting the best players. Keeping the players buying in and motivated. Handling difficult personalities. On and on and on. I think that Tomlin is exceptional at most of these things, and the only thing I feel he is NOT very good at is hiring great asst coaches. If he was better at this, then his strategy and game management deficiencies would be improved by vocal assistants. I often felt that Cowher had a tough time starting the right players, and that lost us many games. But all it takes is being bad at just ONE of those things, and the team can suffer. Tomlin's Asst Coach hires have definitely cost us a lot of success.
@Baba Ganush That's an interesting thing to decide is a problem. I have a hard time believing that curtailing excitement (which is a high-vibrational emotion that creates positive thinking, camaraderie, and encouragement) would INCREASE the team's chances of winning games...
@@XaneDaniel he’s not showed anything of prestige. Name a thing in the last 10 years
If Bill had never left he would have won many SBs with Ben. Tomlin stinks
i miss the block numbers...
