| Bill Cowher Pro Career: 1999 RECORD: 6-10 Begins his eighth season as the fifteenth head coach in Steelers' history, replacing Chuck Noll on January 21, 1992. Cowher led the Steelers to an 11-5 regular-season record in 1997. In 1995, at age 38, he became the youngest coach to lead his team to a Super Bowl. Can you believe?Modell took Bellichick over Cohwer?? |
Changing into his coaches uniform. Still looks like he could play.  1998 was the first losing season Cowher had. Pretty amazing taking into account all the free agents his team loses every year. |
Split with the Browns in 1999: 43-0 Steelers 16-15 Browns

The Steelers recognize the talent of quarterback Kordell Stewart. Many of Stewart's problems the last two seasons were not totally his fault. In this draft, the Steelers have attempted to provide Stewart with some addtional weapons. For this reason, they selected receiver Plaxico Burress in the first round and Danny Farmer in round four. These are two big receivers who can make plays up the field. Coupled with Troy Edwards, Hines Ward and Malcom Johnson, the Steelers have a bevy of young receivers to develop, and Kordell has some additional targets to throw to.
The Steelers' selection of Tee Martin in the fifth round was an outstanding pick at this stage of the draft. From a talent standpoint, Martin was as good as any QB in this years draft. He is an exceptional athlete for the position who has great physical and mental toughness. He has overcome much in his personal life to be an achiever and a leader.
As a QB, there are some mechanical flaws Martin will need to improve, but what better teacher to have than Kevin Gilbright. If Tee can improve his accuracy and field vision, the Steelers might have found themselves a real keeper
