From the Publisher:

When Hall of Fame head coach Chuck Noll announced his retirement after the 1991 season, many Pittsburgh Steelers fans wondered if his replacement would be able to live up to the lofty expectations they became accustomed to over the decades.

Bill Cowher quickly answered fans' questions about his abilities by leading the Steelers to an 11-5 record and a division championship in his first season.

Since that debut in 1992, Cowher's sideline sneer and tough-guy chin are now as familiar to Pittsburgh fans as seeing the Steelers atop the divisional standings. No NFL coach has experienced the year-in, year-out success that Cowher has in the past 14 seasons, culminating in his first Super Bowl victory in 2006.

Cowher Power reviews every season during Cowher's reign to see how the Pittsburgh-area native became one of the best modern-day coaches in the NFL. Taken from the reporters and columnists at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette who know Cowher the best, Cowher Power looks at the coach's every move, including the Steelers' Super Bowl XL triumph over the Seattle Seahawks at Detroit's Ford Field.

With his Super Bowl victory in 2006, Cowher's 14-year tenure includes 10 playoff appearances, eight divisional titles, six appearances in the AFC Championship game and two Super Bowl appearances.

No other current NFL head coach has led his program as long as Cowher has manned the helm with the Steelers. Cowher Power also chronicles the great players during his career in Pittsburgh, including such Steeler icons as: Jerome Bettis, Ben Roethlisberger, Kordell Stewart, Troy Polamalu, and Rod Woodson.

The past 14 years provides a source of pride for the legendary NFL team and the city of Pittsburgh, and Cowher Power gives those fans an opportunity to look back at the tremendous run of success since Cowher took charge in 1992.
