Chuck Noll leaves quite a legacy

Noll's record: 209-156-1 (including postseason) while coaching the Steelers from 1969-91.

One-time assistant coach to Sid Gillman and Don Shula.

Four Super Bowl titles in five years.

What a pairing ... Noll and the Rooney family.

RIP, June 13, 2014

This is the first I've heard of this. I imagine Pittsburgh is in mourning now, and deservedly so. Heck, the entire NFL should be mourning this man's death. Great coach.
