Steelers to wear patch to honor the late Chuck Noll
The Pittsburgh Steelers will wear a patch on their jerseys this season in memory of iconic coach Chuck Noll, who died last Friday night at the age of 82, reports Scott Brown of ESPN.com.
According to Brown, the Steelers are still in the process of deciding how best to honor Noll, who is the only coach to win four Super Bowls.
He was laid to rest Tuesday following a funeral at St. Paul’s Cathedral Church in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh.
“When Chuck became our head coach he brought a change to the whole culture of the organization,” Steelers president Art Rooney II said. “Even in his first season when we won only one game, there was a different feel to the team. He set a new standard for the Steelers that still is the foundation of what we do and who we are. From the players to the coaches to the front office down to the ball boys, he taught us all what it took to be a winner.
“Chuck was a wonderful person in addition to being a great football coach. The positive influence he had on so many people also will be part of his legacy.”
