The Pittsburgh Steelers have been very fortunate over the last 55 years to have just three head coaches. Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher are already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Mike Tomlin will likely join them shortly after he calls it a career. Each coach brought a slightly different style, but they all preached the same message of physicality and accountability for which the organization has been known.
Troy Polamalu was coached by Cowher and Tomlin with the changeover happening in January 2007, following the fourth season of his career. He was asked about the differences between the two coaches on the most recent episode of Cameron Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast, and it turns out they were pretty similar.
