OTD 1991 the great Chuck Noll retired from the Pittsburgh Steelers. His record speaks for itself. We are where we are today due to the fact that this man was hired as the head coach in 1969. There would be no Steeler Nation without Chuck Noll.

On Wednesday February 27, 2008 we lost one of the greatest Steelers of all time, Myron Cope. He never put on a helmet or pads. Never tackled anyone or caught a pass. But, the Steelers scored a lot of touchdowns because of this man during his 35 seasons in the booth. Double Yoi!
