Cowher's mark on the NFL has been made as much with his staying power as with his 161 victories. A look at how unusual it is for an NFL coach to remain in one place for 15 seasons:
128
Coaches for the other 31 NFL teams in the time he coached the Steelers.
9
Coaches hired before the 1992 season. Other than Cowher, Dennis Green (Vikings) survived the longest (fired in 2001).
8
Coaches in history who won more regular-season games with one team. George Halas (Bears) is first with 318.
7
Coaches in NFL history who had longer continuous runs with one team. Curly Lambeau (Packers) and Tom Landry (Cowboys) are first with 29.
3
Jobs held by Marty Schottenheimer (Chiefs, Redskins, Chargers) and Bill Parcells (Jets, Patriots, Cowboys) in the Cowher Era.
