Joe Greene has been a fixture for the Pittsburgh Steelers for very nearly 50 years now since he was drafted by the struggling franchise in 1969, which signaled the beginning of change as the foundation piece for a dynasty that would win four Super Bowls in a span of six seasons in the coming decade.
Following his 13-year playing career, Greene eventually joined the Steelers’ coaching staff in 1987 for several seasons. He returned to Pittsburgh in the front office in 2004 after spending over a decade coaching elsewhere in the league, and only formally retired from his position in 2013, yet still aids the team now and then.
