Noll, a 1993 Hall of Fame inductee, died at his home Friday night, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He was 82 years old.


The Steelers that Noll inherited had not made the playoffs since the 1947 season, well before the Super Bowl era began. They finished 1-13 in his first campaign, after Noll left his post as an assistant coach for the Baltimore Colts to run the show in the Steel City. Three years later, with a roster that featured the likes of Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Joe Greene and Jack Ham, Pittsburgh captured its first of six Super Bowl victories.
