Bill Cowher has announced who his presenter will be when he is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame later this year.
In a video released on the Steelers' web site today, the Steelers' former longtime head coach said team president Art Rooney II would be his presenter on Aug. 7 when he and the other members of the 2019 Centennial Class are inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. That class also includes former Steelers safeties Troy Polamalu and Donnie Shell.
“To me it was a no-brainer,” Cowher said in the video. “You knew me before and you knew me after. It was all about the dynamics of family. We were one big family. Yes, you were held accountable, and yes, you had to make tough decisions. But no one knows me better than Art Rooney. Art, it is an honor to have you present me.”
The Steelers will play the Cowboys in the Hall of Fame game Thursday, Aug. 5. The first induction ceremony will take place two days later, with this year's inductees, including former Steelers guard Alan Faneca and front office personnel man Bill Nunn Jr., being inducted the following day.
