Starkey: Noll watching with pride
It's a shame Chuck Noll can't be a part of this -- not that he ever sought the spotlight.
In many ways, the Steelers still wear "The Emperor's" clothes. Noll is the one who permanently changed the culture of the franchise when he was hired as coach in 1969, the one who "created and expected a certain level of excellence and performance and commitment," as Rocky Bleier put it Thursday.
The Steelers were an old, bad joke before Noll arrived. They've been a beacon of strength, for the most part, ever since. Of course, it took him four years to turn things around, so he never would have lasted with the Daniel Snyders of the world.
Daniel Rooney, different story.
Sadly, Noll isn't feeling well enough to come to the phone these days, but he'll be intently watching Super Bowl XL with his wife, Marianne, at their home in Bonita Springs, Fla.
"His back is terrible," Mrs. Noll said yesterday. "He goes from bad to worse."
Noll's former players keep tabs on him and are concerned about what has apparently become a variety of health issues. Noll turned 74 on Jan. 5.
