A Steelers Question

How many times have we heard that the Steelers have only had three head coaches in their history. Maybe the reporters have said this so many times that they have shortened it from since 1969 to since ever. This is a statement that has always bugged me.

 

Chuck Noll started in 1969 but the Steelers are the 5th oldest franchise in the NFL.

I've never heard anyone say that they have only had 3 coaches in their history, although I might have missed it. Steelers fans are well aware of their coaches and their failures prior to Chuck Noll's hiring. Still, having only three coaches over the last 40 years is quite impressive. However, all three had rather quick success, so, that probably made it easier to support them.

You have missed it, I've heard this a lot lately.

I have never heard that either. I have heard them refer to the past three many times but never have I heard someone mess up and say that they have only had three in history. :wacko:

 

No one around Pittsburgh thinks that there has only been three coaches for the Steelers.

Yeah, I heard that in a couple of gushy mindless pieces during the superbowl hype -- sounded like the wikipedia-using journalist-wannabees running wild without a quality editor in sight. I'm so old, the Steeeeeelers have had more than 3 head coaches in my lifetime -- but the number we should concern ourselves with is not 3 ... but SIX!!!!!

 

:wacko:
