The name Rooney is synonymous with the Pittsburgh Steelers as much as the Steelers are synonymous with the Rooneys. One of the oldest families on football, the Rooney clan is presided over the most successful organization of the Super Bowl era, which includes one of only two teams to have ever won the Super Bowl with three different head coaches. They are also the only team with six Super Bowl victories.
But while on-field success is critical to the Rooneys’ legacy, so is life off the field, beginning with the Steelers’ patriarch, ‘The Chief’, Art Rooney, who founded the team in 1933.
