Before Chuck Noll became the Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach in 1969, the organization was adrift. Pittsburgh had won 11 games, total, in the previous three seasons; in its first 36 seasons, the team recorded a winning record just eight times. Thanks to Noll's shrewdness, owner Art Rooney's patience, and some outstanding drafting, the Steelers won four Super Bowls from 1975 to 1980.
