Joe Greene Almost Coached Steelers | Pittsburgh Steelers News
Description
In 1991, legendary Steelers defensive icon Mean Joe Greene surprisingly tried to take over as head coach after Chuck Noll retired—but owner Dan Rooney swiftly shut that down, warning Greene the pressure would be too much for a first-time coach. The Steelers instead chose Bill Cowher, who led them to a Super Bowl and multiple championships, proving to be the right move for the franchise’s future. Greene, already a Hall of Famer and cornerstone of the 70s dynasty, may have had coaching dreams, but the team’s decision to go with Cowher turned out to be a winning one.
