Bill Cowher: Video Game Legend

From IGN.com

bill-cowher-ea-head-coach.jpgYou know the look. The one where Coach Cowher looks so mad that spit is dripping down his chin as he runs down the sidelines to find a ref to yell at. Now that mug is being immortalized on the cover of EA Sports' new videogame, NFL Head Coach.

Cowher, the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL, is fresh off his first Super Bowl title with a 21-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL in Detroit. In 14 seasons under the leadership of Cowher, the Steelers have earned 10 postseason berths, captured nine division titles, advanced to six AFC Championship games and have made two Super Bowl appearances. The Pittsburgh-area native is one of only six coaches in NFL history to claim at least eight division titles and ranks ninth in NFL history for longest head coaching service with one team.

"With NFL Head Coach there is finally a game that gives true football fans the chance to strategize and become the head coach of their favorite team," said Cowher. "Coaching is about leadership and everyone will now see how difficult, but also how rewarding coaching can be."

I wouldn't have the first clue on how to play this.
I don't even know how to play Madden 95. And I own it.


NFL Head Coach is the first-ever 3D coaching sim, challenging gamers to build and manage every aspect of an NFL franchise. As head coach, you develop a team strategy, execute it on and off the field, and try to build a winning organization year after year. Your status as a coaching legend will rise and fall based on all of your actions as you strive to become the greatest head coach of all time.

Look for the game to hit stores June 20 for the PS2, Xbox, and PC.

Wanted: Video game tutor for June 20, 2006. Teach me how to play this. Very limited video game experience: NES and Sega Genesis. Must have lots of patience.

Is it wrong to buy the game just for the cover?
