This article is a continuation of a series about the Pittsburgh Steelers coaches that preceded Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher & Mike Tomlin. I read several scores of newspaper articles from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh Press & Pittsburgh Courier. The Pro Football Reference was used as a reference for the statistical data. I’ve interjected my own opinion but have quoted articles directly, so you can get a sense of what Pittsburgh football fans were reading at the time.
College football was still considered the higher pastime than the professional football league that had but nine franchises in 1936.
