I have seen a few posts, as well as mention on Bill Cowher's Wikipedia page, (I know what they say about that), that Bill Cowher was named to the 2020 HOF Class.

Jimmy Johnson

For the players, I'm less optimistic for a great class because of 1.) the election of Johnson and especially Cowher over Parker and 2.) Ernie Accorsi dropping out and being replaced on the Committee by Gil Brandt.

Definite Yes votes (6): Dilweg, Gradishar, Karras, Slater, Speedie and Wistert
Definite No votes (6): Carmichael, Covert, Craig, Hill, Isbell and Sprinkle

Solid Yes Votes (3): Dillon, Emerson and Lewellen; however, I don't see any way they're going to elect seven old-timers, may not even elect five, and I prefer the four above to these three. I also doubt they're going to elect three Packers and may not even elect two.

I'm not big on Branch, Harris, Nobis, Pearson and Shell but don't have strong feelings against. Figure at least one Cowboy will make it. I just would hate to see any of these 5 make it over any of the Definite Yes 6 above.
