Podcast appearances and mentions of Chuck Noll

The Steelers and Raiders were two of the defining teams of the decade, opposites in almost every way. Pittsburgh was a homegrown powerhouse built through the draft, while Oakland thrived by embracing outcasts and unconventional talent. The Steelers were new to winning; the Raiders had already captured an AFL championship. Both embodied the brutal style of the era - gritty defenses, punishing hits, and a brand of football so violent it forced rule changes. The rivalry, and the intensity that fueled it, may never be matched again in the history of the NFL.Get our Steelers-Ravens book here!

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Brian Batko wanted the Steelers to wait to talk to Chris Shula and Nate Scheelhaase. He thinks McCarthy will talk a lot about Pittsburgh and mention Will Howard and Mike Tomlin. Ranking who walked into the best situation between Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin, and Mike McCarthy. We give it around a 40% chance Konnor Griffin is on the Opening Day roster.

If you live along the I(ce)-20 corridor from Dallas eastward through northern Louisiana into central Mississippi, you are fortunate to have electricity today (Monday, January 26). Some locations received a few inches of sleet and snow for the kids to play in.  Unfortunately, it was a layer of freezing rain which added another 1/2” or more of ice onto trees and power lines across the region on Saturday and Sunday. Several of the region’s electricity providers have power outage maps which are redder than Santa’s suit. Hundreds of thousands remain without power today.  Temperatures across the region are not expected to budge above freezing until Tuesday afternoon. Let’s try to warm things up today with a review of several interesting sports stories from this weekend which you may have missed. AFC Championship Game – New England Patriots 10, Denver Broncos 7 If you like snow, the second half of Sunday’s AFC title game in Denver was definitely the game for you! A 1 PM local kickoff started under sunny skies in the Mile High City.  Denver (playing without injured starting quarterback Bo Nix due to a broken ankle suffered one week ago) thrilled its orange-clad fans during the first quarter.  Back-up quarterback Jared “Stiddy” Stidham sparked the home team with a couple of timely completions in taking a 7-0 opening quarter lead. Who would have believed that seven points was all that Denver would score on Sunday afternoon? The resilient New England Patriots tied the game at 7-7 heading into halftime after “Stiddy” fumbled the football deep in Denver territory late in the second quarter.  New England quarterback Drake “Look ma…I can run!” Maye scampered in for a game-tying touchdown. Earlier snow flurries quickly turned into a Colorado snowstorm during the second half of this game. New England took advantage of the wind in the third quarter and booted a short field goal to grab a 10-7 lead going into the deciding fourth quarter. Denver’s defense provided its offense with several scoring opportunities. Alas, the Broncos failed to convert excellent field position into any points.  Former New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz missed two field goal attempts.  “Stiddy” became unsteady with his second half passing game.  He also didn’t show much of an inclination to run the football when the opportunity presented itself. Denver finished a woeful 181 yards of total offense in the AFC title game.  New England wasn’t much better with just 206 total yards – mostly on the ground. NFC Championship Game – Seattle Seahawks 31, Los Angeles Rams 27 Seattle came into the NFC title game with one of the league’s best defenses and the home field advantage.  The visiting Los Angeles Rams rolled into Seattle after having won two difficult road playoff games by three points each at Carolina and Chicago. The Seattle Seahawks offense took center stage in this high scoring back-and-forth title game Sunday evening.  Surprising quarterback Sam Darnold (who is playing for his fifth team in eight NFL seasons) sparked the Seahawks by completing 25 of 36 pass attempts for 346 yards and three touchdowns.   More importantly, Darnold did not throw an interception or lose a fumble during Sunday’s game against the Rams. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford looked sharp (as always) in keeping his team within striking distance.  He also passed for more than 300 yards with three touchdowns. The game’s outcome was unfortunately determined by a fumbled punt return by Rams’ special team player Xavier Smith early in the third quarter. Smith had dropped an earlier punt but quickly fell onto the ball.  On his second punt return attempt, Smith fell backwards while trying to secure the ball and fumbled deep in Rams’ territory.  The Patriots recovered and quickly took advantage.  One play later, Sam Darnold connected on a 17-yard touchdown pass to give Seattle a 24-13 lead which they would never surrender. The NFC #1 seed Seattle will now face the AFC’s #2 seed New England Patriots in the NFL title game in two weeks on Sunday, February 8 at 5:30PM CST and televised by NBC.  This year’s game will be played in Santa Clara, California on the home field of the San Francisco 49ers. Pittsburgh Steelers just hired…who? Former Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy was fired one year ago by team owner Jerry Jones. McCarthy posted three winning seasons out of his five years in Dallas.  However, his Cowboys’ teams went a woeful 1-3 in the NFL playoffs despite posting three consecutive 12-5 regular seasons from 2021-2023. Ironically, Pittsburgh Steelers’ longtime coach Mike Tomlin resigned two weeks ago after his team failed to win a playoff game for a record-tying seventh consecutive time. Saturday afternoon brought a surprising announcement that the Steelers had hired 62-year old Mike McCarthy to become the team’s fourth head coach since the year 1969.  Each of the previous three Steelers’ coaches (Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin) have taken Pittsburgh to one or more Super Bowl victories over the past 56 seasons. Before coming to Dallas, Mike McCarthy’s 13-year tenure in Green Bay (2006-2018) produced one Super Bowl champion at the conclusion of the 2010 season. Those Green Bay Packers were led by young quarterback Aaron Rodgers as they took a 31-25 win over Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers. A now-42 year old Aaron Rodgers became the Steelers’ quarterback last fall.  He piloted the Black and Gold to a 10-7 regular season and AFC North title.  However, the Steelers (and Aaron Rodgers in particular) were manhandled by the Houston Texans in an ugly 30-6 home playoff loss two weeks ago. Coach Mike Tomlin resigned the following day after 19 years in Steel City. Terrible Towel waving fans (like me) are now wondering what Steelers’ team owner Art Rooney II saw in Mike McCarthy to warrant giving him the head coaching job. Pittsburgh’s woeful offense struggled under coach Mike Tomlin.  Mike McCarthy’s success has come on the offensive side of the football, but his teams’ defenses in Dallas had been less than stellar. Can Mike McCarthy inject life into the Steelers’ offense while maintaining a top level defense? Dallas Cowboys fans are having a good laugh about the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers hiring their ex-coach.  Should Mike McCarthy succeed with the Steelers, Cowboys fans will have confirmation that the coach’s failure in Dallas was likely another case of meddling by team owner/general manager/face-of-the-franchise Jerry Jones. Speaking of meddling, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney filed tampering charges vs. Ole Miss over a recent NIL transfer LSU’s new football coach Lane Kiffin has been jetting around the country signing NCAA transfer portal players by the dozens.  In South Carolina, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney has been roundly criticized for the past few years for his well-known reluctance to participate in the NCAA Transfer Portal/NIL transfer sweepstakes game. The Clemson Tigers recently dipped into the transfer portal to lure University of California standout linebacker Luke Ferrelli with a nice NIL offer.  Ferrelli arrived at Clemson in mid-January.  He signed a revenue-sharing contract with Clemson and was already attending classes and football team meetings last week.   Until last Thursday, that is. Ole Miss apparently waved significantly more money (a reported $1 million per year for two seasons) under the nose of Luke Ferrelli during the final days of the latest NCAA transfer portal period.  It was enough to convince the young man to leave Clemson immediately and report to Oxford to play for the Ole Miss Rebels beginning this fall. Clemson is understandably fuming about this situation.  Coach Dabo Swinney and Clemson’s legal staff plan to file tampering charges against Ole Miss. Last Friday afternoon, Coach Swinney said, “It’s not about a linebacker at Clemson.  I don’t want anyone on our team that doesn’t want to be here.  It’s about the next kid and about the message being sent if this blatant tampering is allowed to happen without any consequences.” He added, “This is like having an affair on your honeymoon!” It appears that Clemson’s Dabo Swinney doesn’t want to annul the transfer linebacker’s hasty shotgun marriage to Ole Miss last week. Coach Swinney (like most college football fans) urgently wants the NCAA to enact some common sense rules to govern the Transfer Portal and then enforce them with stiff penalties for the offending parties. Good luck with that one, coach!  The NCAA that once struck fear into college athletics programs for wrongdoing seems to have vanished over the past decade. You can only hope to be as successful as Mayberry’s Gomer Pyle when he made a citizen’s arrest of Deputy Barney Fife!   The post Icy Monday Sports Update appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

This episode kicks off with the hosts tackling the latest uncharacteristic move in the NFL coaching carousel: the Steelers' hiring of Mike McCarthy. Given Pittsburgh's history of picking young, up-and-coming head coaches like Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll—all hired in their mid-30s—the crew is baffled by the choice of the 62-year-old McCarthy. The conversation then shifts to the perplexing situation in Buffalo, where the Bills' head coaching job seems to be strangely unappealing. Philip Rivers was interviewed and then withdrew his name after Mike McDaniels canceled his interview. The hosts can't figure out why a job with a generational quarterback like Josh Allen would be such a hard sell.   The main event this week is the incredible run of the "Eustacoods," champions of the first-ever Washington Nationals Fantasy Camp. The guys relive the entire experience, including an intense, competitive championship game where the team had to rally from a 7-5 deficit in the sixth inning to beat the previously undefeated Lawn Chair Legends. They break down the high level of play, the use of Field of Dreams whiskey and champagne, and the clutch moments, including a game-ending play at first base against one of the camp's best players, and the highly debated "beautiful bunt" laid down by Cousin Justin against a former Major League pitcher.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise gives his thoughts on the attractiveness of the Steelers' coaching job following the departure of Mike Tomlin. Will owner Art Rooney II and GM Omar Khan have an easy time attracting top candidates because of the loyalty they the organization has shown to Tomlin, Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll over the years? Or will the restlessness of the fan base -- even on a successful coach like Tomlin -- dissuade some candidates from pursuing the opening? And what kind of impact will the roster have on interest levels? Do stars like T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward, DK Metcalf and Jaylen Warren make this team one someone can win quickly with? Or does it need more younger standouts like Joey Porter Jr., Derrick Harmon, Nick Herbig, Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu? Paul tackles those questions and more.

Ray Fittipaldo thinks the new coach will have a say on if Cam Heyward comes back and gives it just a 50/50 chance. Ray thinks it's a real thing with Mike Tomlin gone. Cam Heyward was a Second-Team All-Pro. Tomlin is not going to say goodbye and hold a presser with the Steelers. That is sad to veer away from that tradition that was set by Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Ray Fittipaldo wonders how much the fire Tomlin chants, booing Renegade, and the lack of playoff wins wore on Tomlin. There are no goodbye sendoffs like Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher to say goodbye. Ray thinks there's a 50% chance that Cam Heyward retires. Tomlin told the team it was a football decision, but Art said it was a family decision for Tomlin.

Tim Benz thinks the Steelers need to find the right coach, not someone that fits their type as a defensive coordinator like Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin. Ryan Fitzpatrick questioned what type of Brian Flores NFL teams could be getting because his philosophy changed during his tenure and "became unrecognizable."

Tuesday’s surprising news came out of Steel City in western Pennsylvania.  Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s hard to believe that the 53-year old Tomlin had been the top man in Pittsburgh for 19 seasons. There have been only three Pittsburgh Steelers head coaches since the National Football League merged with the American Football League 55 years ago in 1970. Steelers head coach Chuck Noll started his head coaching career in Pittsburgh in 1969 by going 1-13.  His second season brought a 5-9 mark in 1970 and then just 6-8 in 1971. In today’s NFL, most other NFL teams would have fired future Hall-of-Fame Coach Chuck Noll after three years on “Black Monday” last week. You must win NOW, because fans and social media are all about instant gratification today. The Steelers transformed from an NFL laughing stock to 6-time Super Bowl champions Coach Chuck Noll’s fourth year 1972 Steelers (led by Louisiana Tech quarterback Terry Bradshaw and a host of impressive young draft picks) turned Pittsburgh into a winner by going 11-3.  The talented young Steelers lost in the AFC championship game that year to the last NFL team to complete an unbeaten season – the 1972 Miami Dolphins. From that point, the 1970’s “Super Steelers” went on to win four Super Bowl titles in just six seasons. The NFL franchise in Pittsburgh had never captured a single NFL title since the team began in 1933.  Coach Chuck Noll’s teams transformed the image of the Pittsburgh Steelers from lovable losers to a tough band of black-and-gold monsters on the football field. Noll put in 23 seasons as the Steelers’ head coach before handing the baton to Bill Cowher in 1992. Coach Cowher’s Steelers added the team’s fifth Super Bowl title (“One for the thumb”) in 2005.  The very intense Bill Cowher retired after the 2006 season after 15 years of NFL success in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin took the reins in Pittsburgh in 2007 The 34-year old former defensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings immediately bonded with his new team and its very boisterous loyal fans. Like Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin’s college and NFL coaching experience had been on the defensive side of the football. Did you know that Mike Tomlin (the college football player) was a 2nd team All-Conference wide receiver at the College of William & Mary in Virginia?  He became a defensive backs coach upon entering the coaching profession. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers quickly added Pittsburgh’s sixth Super Bowl trophy in 2008. This endeared the team’s new coach to millions of Terrible Towel waving Steelers fans around the world. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers reached the big game once again in 2010 but lost 31-25 to (ironically) Super Bowl MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Ironically, the now 42-year old Aaron Rodgers signed to play quarterback for Coach Tomlin’s Steelers this past season. Rodgers led Pittsburgh to a 10-7 regular season record.  The Steelers were embarrassed 30-6 – at home – by the Houston Texans on Monday night in the wild-card round. Less than one day after Monday night’s ugly loss to Houston, Coach Mike Tomlin elected to voluntarily step down as the Steelers’ head coach Tuesday afternoon.  He finished with 193 regular season wins. That tied him with former Steelers coaching legend Chuck Noll for 9th place in NFL history. The pressure of winning in Pittsburgh takes a toll on its head coaches The Steelers’ six Super Bowl titles place significant pressure on the current head coach to add another piece of hardware into the team’s trophy case. Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh squads never finished below .500 in any of his 19 seasons. His Steelers won the AFC North eight times including this season’s 10-7 team. Coach Tomlin’s Steelers teams were defensively talented but inconsistent on offense.  Tomlin’s offensive units have further declined after the 2021 retirement of likely Hall-of-Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.  One by one, offensive coordinators have struggled and been sent packing from Pittsburgh several times during Mike Tomlin’s 19 years at the helm. Monday night’s 30-6 loss – at home – in the opening round again highlighted Mike Tomlin’s difficulty at winning playoff games.  This week’s defeat was the Steelers’ seventh straight in the NFL playoffs. The loss tied Coach Tomlin with former Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis for the most consecutive playoff defeats in NFL history. Ouch. The pressure to win a post-season game seems to have been the final breaking point for Pittsburgh Coach Mike Tomlin.  He looked ready to take a lengthy sabbatical from his coaching responsibilities.  Coach Tomlin is considered a likely candidate to work for one of the television networks as a studio host or analyst in the broadcast booth next season. Former New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton “retired” from the team in 2022 but took a job working as a studio host for FOX Sports that fall.  Payton then returned to the sidelines the following year in 2023 to become the Denver Broncos head coach. It’s likely that Mike Tomlin will patrol the football sidelines as either a head coach or defensive coordinator for another team at some point in the future. In the meantime, here’s hoping that Coach Tomlin will enjoy a very well deserved break. Jump ball!  Who wants to be the new Pittsburgh Steelers head coach? Let’s examine the positives first. Job security – There have been just three coaches in the past 55 seasons.  The Steelers ownership (the Rooney family) is the most patient in all of professional sports.  Getting a job as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers is, perhaps, the safest job in the NFL. Fan support – Is anything better than seeing 65,000 gold-colored Terrible Towels being waved in support of your team at every home game? Yes, there is! It’s when you see 20,000 or more Terrible Towels being waved by fans at your opponent’s stadium on road games!  Only the Dallas Cowboys may have as many loyal football fans as the Steelers. A livable, lovable city – Pittsburgh is one of America’s top major metropolitan areas in terms of the cost of living and safety.  The Steel City (much like New Orleans) has a very unique local population which fervently follows their beloved NFL franchise for 365 days per year. And now…a few of the negatives. Expectations are sky high – every year!  Mike Tomlin appeared to be one of the most even-tempered head coaches in NFL history.  Pittsburgh is the city which was home to Mister Rogers (the PBS children’s TV star – not the quarterback).  Football fans and media in Pittsburgh reminded Coach Tomlin (daily) that he had lost six consecutive post-season games leading up to Monday night’s playoff game versus Houston. The Steelers have six Super Bowl trophies in their display case.  The next head coach will feel immediate pressure to win playoff games again – quickly. Can the new head coach turn around the Steelers’ pop gun offense?  Aaron Rodgers was a “band-aid” type of quarterback for the Steelers this season.  The 42-year old legend could not and should not be attempting to scramble or run from freight train-sized NFL defensive linemen anymore.  Steelers rookie quarterback Will Howard never left the bench during his first pro season.  Pittsburgh’s major investment in wide receiver D.K. Metcalf appears to be shaky after Year #1 with the team.  The Steelers need more speedy receivers who can reliably catch the football under pressure. Does the new coach look the part in Pittsburgh?  Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll had “the look” of someone intense enough and tough enough to command this rugged city’s pro football team. Projecting a personal toughness and strength will (initially) capture the hearts of Steeler Nation. Who does SwampSwami see as the next Pittsburgh Steelers head coach? A. Curt Cignetti Win or lose this coming Monday night vs. the University of Miami, Indiana Hoosiers football coach Curt Cignetti checks all of the boxes needed to turn the Pittsburgh Steelers into a top contender again. Did I say that the 64-year old college football coach is a Pittsburgh native?  Curt Cignetti signed a 7-year contract extension with the Hoosiers this fall.  Can the Steelers afford to pay for the buyout for his Indiana contract? Yes. Would they consider paying a sizable buyout in order to get Cignetti to Pittsburgh? Unlikely.  The Steelers’ ownership is notoriously thrifty.  B. Houston Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans Ryans is only 41 years of age (a year younger than this year’s Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers). The former All-Pro NFL linebacker has won ten or more games in each of his first three seasons as head coach of the Houston Texans.  Pittsburgh would need to provide significant compensation (draft picks and a lot of cash) to Houston in order to lure DeMeco Ryans to come coach in Steel City. Why would Ryans prefer Pittsburgh over Houston?  Have you ever lived in Houston during its six months of summer? C. One of these four relatively young NFL defensive coordinators Some names being floated today include Minnesota Vikings D-coordinator Mike Flores. He was formerly the head coach for the Miami Dolphins.  Flores’ exit from Miami became a bit messy, though.   My list of other top candidates includes Seattle Seahawks defensive guru Allen Durde, Green Bay’s Jeff Hafley, and Jesse Minter from the Los Angeles Chargers. There you have it!    SwampSwami’s list of his six top candidates for the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching job! One name that I intentionally omitted was Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman.  He has been quoted recently saying he had no interest in a pro football head coaching position. Then again, don’t coaches ALWAYS say something like that – right before they leave? The post Tomlin out in Pittsburgh – Who Wants the Best Coaching job in the NFL? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Earl Weaver coined this great phrase,  You lose more games than you win.   Which means being a Head Coach is NOT about bright schemes, trick plays,  or any of the other 'sexy' talking points.  It is about fundamentals.  Practicing relentlessly in the pursuit of perfection as Vince Lombardi once said.  It's blocking, tackling, catching the football, great special teams, and a culture of winning.   Look at the successful HEAD coaches.  Tom Coughllin, Sean Payton, Kurt Cignetti, Lombardi, Earl Weaver, Chuck Noll.   Does the Brown's organization even know what a great Head Coach looks like?  It may be in their own backyard.  Like Bill Cowher once was. Like Mike Vrabel was last year, and now we have Jim Schwartz, who is interviewing with the Ravens !!!??  Just more dumb Brown's if they go for solid fundamental Head Coach, instead of chasing the sexy rabbits jumping out of holes.  Mike McDaniel?  You have got to be kidding.0:30 Mike and Brook open the episode by reacting to Wild Card Weekend and contrasting stable organizations with dysfunctional ones like the Browns.2:30 Mike lays out the core theme — how real organizations hire head coaches and why structure and culture matter more than schemes.4:25 Curt Cignetti's first press conference is played as an example of a coach who wins everywhere and immediately sets expectations.6:45 Mike compares Cignetti to Earl Weaver and Vince Lombardi, arguing discipline and fundamentals are why great teams don't beat themselves.17:45 Mike tells the Bart Starr–Vince Lombardi leadership story and explains why culture is the foundation of everything — and why the Browns keep failing without it.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the playoffs — and once again, the national media isn't giving them a chance. In Episode #168 of the Steel City Insider Podcast, Steelers insider Jim Wexell joins co-host Jeremy Hritz to break down Monday Night Football's playoff matchup at Acrisure Stadium as the Steelers prepare to face the red-hot Houston Texans, winners of nine straight games. We dive into why Pittsburgh continues to be underestimated, how veteran leadership and postseason poise factor into this matchup, and what the Texans struggle with most — including defending the deep pass and generating a consistent running game. Jim also draws fascinating comparisons between this Steelers team and the gritty 1989 Steelers under Chuck Noll — a group nobody believed in until January football arrived. If you're looking for grounded, film-driven analysis without the national noise, this episode delivers exactly that.

We dive into the Giants' head coaching search with Kevin Stefanski reportedly leading the clubhouse and Gio weighing the merits of John Harbaugh versus Mike McCarthy.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder how Steeler fans might feel about current head coach Mike Tomlin breaking this record held by former, highly-esteemed head coach Chuck Noll.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if QB Aaron Rodgers is playing well enough to get the Steelers through the season and potentially through to a deep playoff run. Also, how do you feel that Tomlin is about to break this Chuck Noll record? December 16, 2025, 9:00 Hour

When Archie Griffin won his unprecedented 2nd Heisman Trophy Award in 1975 he was heralded as the best running back in the nation. But was he? Finishing 2nd in the voting was a beast out west by the name of Chuck Muncie and the senior Golden Bear was putting up huge numbers in Berkeley. In fact, in 17 fewer rushing attempts than Griffin, Chuck had 103 more yards rushing and 9 more TD's. Add in the 26 more receptions and 234 more yards receiving than the Buckeyes Back and you could make a strong case that Muncie, the guy on the cover of the 11/24/75 issue of Sports Illustrated, should have come home with the Heisman hardware. At the next level, Muncie continued to excel becoming a 3-time Pro Bowl back in the NFL with his best season coming in 1981 when he had over 1,500 yards from scrimmage and 19 touchdowns in the high-powered offense in San Diego. The Chargers were loaded with offensive weapons: Muncie and James Brooks in the backfield with John Jefferson, Charlie Joiner, Wes Chandler and Kellen Winslow catching everything in sight. Muncie passed away in May of 2013 but the man who ran that “Air Coryell” offense Dan Fouts joins us on the POP podcast to talk about how good a back and what a weapon Muncie was while playing with the Chargers. Fouts discusses the famous playoff shootout in Miami, known as the Kellen Winslow game. A game in which the Hall of Fame QB threw for 433 yards, and 3 touchdowns in the 41-38 San Diego overtime victory over Miami. Fouts recalls how the next week he and his team suffered through frigid temps in Cincinnati and how the lingering effects of frost bite have been in his hands ever since. And he talks about being part of possibly the best Hall of Fame class (1993) of all-time: Larry Little, Bill Walsh, Chuck Noll, Walter Payton and Dan Fouts! One of the greatest QB's to ever sling it in the NFL looks back on his Hall of Fame career and gives an in depth look at SI caveman and his former teammate Chuck Muncie on the Past Our Prime podcast.  Download, subscribe, give a review, wherever you get… yada, yada, yada.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the concept of a wham block, and how Arthur Smith and company might use that against the Cleveland Browns and Myles Garrett. Wham is a play that stems from the trap family of offensive plays, something that Chuck Noll's teams used a lot in the 1970s and 1980s. Could Smith and company break it out this week to help deal with a devastating Cleveland run defense? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

They were the defending champs… and they were just getting started. After a draft in 1974 that would eventually produce 5 Hall of Famers… names like Lambert, Swann, Stallworth, Shell and Webster… the Steelers were ready to repeat as champions… and while the 2nd year players began to come into their own in '75, the team was led by Quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who 5 years after being the #1 overall pick out of Louisiana Tech, was finally ready to claim the role as QB1 without having to look over his shoulder.  And on the defensive side of things… the Steel Curtain was ready to wreak havoc on the opposing quarterbacks throughout the NFL. LC Greenwood, Ernie Holmes, Dwight White and the man on the cover of the September 22, 1975 issue of Sports Illustrated, Mean Joe Greene were laying the foundation for a Steelers dynasty… 4 Super Bowl wins in 6 years!  The NFL's first two-time Defensive Player of the Year winner, Joe Greene was everything you wanted in a leader… tough, driven, disciplined, and in this case, yes, a little mean. His years in Pittsburgh would end with a gold jacket in Canton and a legacy that is second to none in the Steel City, or anywhere for that matter. Alex Kozora is someone who appreciates Mean Joe and the Steelers and has been covering the team for over a decade as one of the hosts on The Terrible Podcast, a Steelers podcast for Pittsburgh Steelers fans where he and Dave Bryan discuss the goings on of one of the most successful franchises in the NFL. But that wasn't always the case. Prior to Chuck Noll's and Mean Joe's arrival in 1969, the Steelers had been to one playoff game in their 37 years in the NFL. But in 1972, that all changed… David Orochena is a writer for www.steelersdepot.com and contributor to The Terrible Podcast and he tells us that the “Immaculate Reception” was much more than just the Steelers winning their first ever playoff game. It was a defining moment for the sports structure of Pittsburgh. A week after Franco Harris caught the ball out of midair off a deflection, Roberto Clemente was tragically killed in a plane crash helping bring aid to an earthquake-ravaged Nicaragua. The death of a man who symbolized Pittsburgh and the Pirates completely devastated the city and according to Orochena, it was the Steelers that helped fill that void going forward. It's much more than just the X's & O's of professional football. It's a chat with two guys who know the ins and outs of a franchise that were the laughing stock of the NFL for decades… and turned it around in the mid 70's to become the envy of every organization in the league. Alex and David tell us about how Terry Bradshaw finally won the QB job for good in '75, how the Terrible Towel came to be and inspired a couple of guys years later to start a Terrible Podcast… and how one play changed the course of the Steelers franchise and how the Steel Curtain came to symbolize a team on it's way glory. They dominated and kicked tail and didn't care who got in their way… Was it nice? No… it was mean… Mean Joe Greene and the 1975 Steelers on the Past Our Prime podcast…  Listen to both Past Our Prime and The Terrible Podcast wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a review and a 5-star rating if you desire.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news and breaks down a number of recent Steelers trending topics, including Terry Bradshaw's controversial comments about Chuck Noll. Is prime Aaron Rodgers better than prime Patrick Mahomes? Paul reacts to Big Ben's recent comments and discusses why the Steelers' former Super Bowl-winning QB would come out and say that on his podcast. Also, was Bill Cowher correct in saying that Rodgers needs "the keys" to Pittsburgh's offense in order to be successful this season? And are the T.J. Watt trade rumors viable, or will Omar Khan, Mike Tomlin and company finally get a record-setting deal done before training camp? Lastly, Paul weighs in on the Pirates' recent slump back to reality and why owner Bob Nutting and general manager Ben Cherington still need to clean house for everyone not named Paul Skenes and Andrew McCutchen.

While we're in that time of limbo between the end of OTA's and the start of Training Camp, we'll dive into a few different topics over the coming weeks.

It's almost time for the NFL draft once again, ladies and gentlemen, and we should all know by now we have no idea how selections and signings will pan out. In 1974, the Pittsburgh Steelers may had been on the rise, and Chuck Noll, his staff of coaches and scouts were no different from those of today. They didn't always agree on who to pick, especially when when you have selected players, as Noll put it,  that were supposedly too small, slow, and skinny.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Bradshaw hit Lynn Swann on the first play from scrimmage for a touchdown which put Pittsburgh's lead at 35-17.To the Cowboys' credit, they responded in the fourth quarter and made the game 35-31 late. Sadly for Dallas, they ran out of time, and Pittsburgh became the first team to win three Super Bowls.Terry Bradshaw won Super Bowl MVP in the only game of his career where he threw for 300+ passing yards.

Offensively, they chose quarterback Terry Hanratty and tackle John Kolb. Defensively, they chose defensive end LC Greenwood and defensive tackle Joe Greene, who won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

On the weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, host Adam Bittner welcomes Ed Bouchette, former Steelers insider for the Post-Gazette and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, to react to the team's 2024 season and where it goes from here. Is Mike Tomlin closer to a messy exit like Chuck Noll? Or a Super Bowl-winning revival like Bill Cowher? How would Dan Rooney have handled the team's current playoff wins drought differently than son Art Rooney II as owner, if at all? And is Tomlin's long tenure more about loyalty? Or belief in doing business the way ownership would like to? Ed tackles those questions, then weighs in on roster issues. Why does he prefer Justin Fields over Russell Wilson or outside options at quarterback? What are his feelings about WR George Pickens and whether GM Omar Khan should explore trading him this offseason? Is it time to break up the defensive core of Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick? And why does Ed like Joey Porter Jr. and Keeanu Benton as young players who can grow into bigger roles? Then our duo wraps the show with some Hall of Fame talk with a focus on Hines Ward and James Harrison.

Today's guest is Jim Rooney, grandson of The Chief and son of Dan Rooney. His book "A Different Way to Win" talks about his father's legacy as an ambassador to Ireland and the creation of the NFL's Rooney Rule for hiring head coaches and other high-profile positions. Jim also discusses the current state of the Steelers and how Mike Tomlin is fulfilling the work started by Dan Rooney, Bill Nunn, Chuck Noll and others. We'll also break down the hot and toxic takes following the playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, including those who want to give Tomlin the Matt Canada treatment, in stadium.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their 1974 Super Bowl season. But one story from that year is getting overshadowed during the celebrations of the birth of the dynasty. That year, Joe Gilliam became the first black quarterback in the Super Bowl era to be named QB1 to start a season. He led the Steelers to a 4-1-1 record before Chuck Noll replaced him with Terry Bradshaw. Documentary filmmaker Dexter Rogers joins us to talk about the racial dynamics that surrounded that decision and how Gilliam's benching fueled his depression and addiction that would derail his career. We'll also talk about the Mike Tomlin apology tour that's been in effect since the Steelers victory over the New York Jets.
