He had quite the career. Player under Paul Brown, defensive coordinator under Don Shula, and coach of a dominant team. He helped develop two great defensive minds in Bud Carson and George Perles, and helped the Steelers completely revamp how they approached the draft. The end of his time in Pittsburgh was not great, but it shows how important the QB position is ( he followed Bradshaw with Cliff Stoudt, Mark Malone and Bubby Brister - ouch). Also an astute student of military history. RIP.

Hall of Fame coach Chuck Noll dead at 82
By WILL GRAVES 7 hours ago

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Chuck Noll, the Hall of Fame coach who won a record four Super Bowl titles with the Pittsburgh Steelers, died Friday night at his home. He was 82.


The Allegheny County Medical Examiner said Noll died of natural causes.

Noll transformed the Steelers from a long-standing joke into one of the NFL's pre-eminent powers, becoming the only coach to win four Super Bowls. He was a demanding figure who did not make close friends with his players, yet was a successful and motivating leader.

Whoops I posted it in the NFL Zone. I didn't see it there and didn't imagine it would be here.

Sad day. Great coach.

The guy rarely gets mentioned with the top coaches either. 4-0 in superbowls is amazing regardless off your talent level. Beating that 70s Dallas team twice who had as much talent as anyone was not an easy task. RIP.

Great coach, great man, .. but I think he truly hated our Cowboys.

 

[Phoenix]

What a terrific coach, and a truly respected and most hated (to face) foe back in the day. My condolences to his family and to the entire Steelers Nation. This is exactly on par in terms of a sad day as when we lost Coach Landry.

For those of you who didnt get to see the 70's Steelers, those were some great teams. Check out their 1974 draft. Chuck Noll was a great coach, brought out the best in all that talent.
