In this revealing episode of NFL Players: Second Acts, Hall of Fame coach Bill Cowher joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper to reflect on his remarkable football journey. From his early years as a special teams linebacker to becoming the youngest head coach in Steelers history, Cowher shares how he earned the trust of his players, managed generational talents like Troy Polamalu and Rod Woodson and built a blue-collar identity in Pittsburgh that led to a Super Bowl championship. He also opens up about walking away from coaching to focus on family, how personal loss reshaped his perspective, and the purpose he’s found in his second act as a broadcaster and mentor.

The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.
