• Description : William (Bill) L. Cowher, Super Bow...(more)l-winning coach and North Carolina State University alumnus, delivered NC State's commencement address on Wednesday, Dec. 17, at the RBC Center in Raleigh. Cowher, who currently serves as an analyst with CBS Sports for the network's "The NFL Today" show, led the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2005 to their first Super Bowl title in 26 years. Cowher was the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL, spending 15 years with the Steelers before stepping down following the 2006 season. His term with the Steelers ranks ninth in NFL history for longest head coaching service with one team. In 1995, at age 38, he became the youngest head coach to lead his team to the Super Bowl when the Steelers played the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX. Cowher's Steelers teams earned 10 post-season berths, captured eight division titles, advanced to six AFC Championship games, made two Super Bowl appearances and won one Super Bowl title. He led the Steelers to post-season appearances in each of his first six seasons, tying an NFL record originally set by legendary Cleveland Browns head coach Paul Brown. Cowher is one of only six coaches in NFL history to claim at least eight division titles. During his 15 seasons, the Steelers tied with the New England Patriots for the league's most division titles and posted the NFL's best overall record in the regular season. (less)
