Bill
Cowher - "CBS SPORTS"
FOOTBALL
ANALYST CBS SUNDAYS - LA HAS LA LAKERS, LA CLIPPERSLA DODGERS, LA KINGS WHEN DO WE GET A NFL FRANCHISE? - With a strong demeanor, big smile, and passionate dedication, Bill Cowher is the quintessential football coach. From player to coach to commentator, his career in professional football spans four decades. Fans continue to look to him as a leader in the sport, and increasingly, in the community. A former linebacker and special teams standout, Cowher earned his way into professional football as an undrafted rookie free agent in 1980. In 1985, he moved to the sidelines as a special teams coach and later defensive coordinator. Cowher headed to Pittsburgh in 1992, where during 15 years as a head coach in professional football, he led his team to 149 regular season wins, 12 postseason victories, eight division titles and one championship win. Cowher is number seven on the all-time list for postseason coaching victories, and has won multiple coaching awards including “Coach of the Year” in 1992 as awarded by the Associated Press and The Sporting News. In 2007, Coach Cowher transitioned from his long-time role on the field to a new one in front of the camera. Fans tune in every Sunday during football season to hear his expertise as an analyst on CBS. From his seat behind the analyst’s desk, Cowher delivers the same insight and intensity that characterized his work as a coach. Despite countless career victories on the field, Coach Cowher recently suffered the loss of a loved one to melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. After learning how devastating melanoma can be, Cowher teamed up with advocacy groups and Bristol-Myers Squibb for a new public awareness campaign called Melanoma ExposedTM: Screen. Protect. Know. Tell. Through this campaign, Coach Cowher educates Americans about melanoma and its risk factors and encourages them to take a more active role in their skin health. Cowher is the proud father of three daughters. One American dies from melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer – every hour, and men are almost twice as likely to die from melanoma as women. Yet, according to a new national survey only 9 percent of men consider melanoma a health risk and more than half have never had a screening by a doctor. To educate men, and the American public, about melanoma and the importance of getting screened,leading melanoma groups – Melanoma International Foundation, Melanoma Research Alliance, Melanoma Research Foundation and The Skin Cancer Foundation – and Bristol-Myers Squibb have teamed up with former professional football coach Bill Cowher to help launch a new public awareness campaign called Melanoma Exposed™: Screen.
