‘Our Goal Is To Win The Super Bowl:’ Joe Greene Explains How Chuck Noll Created Steelers’ Standard

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most accomplished franchises in the NFL. They’re tied for the most Super Bowl victories by a team. Much of that is due to their success in the 1970s. Those teams won four championships, being one of the most dominant teams in NFL history. However, before that, they weren’t very successful. The Steelers were more similar to the current-day Cleveland Browns. Their rise to glory was thanks in big part to Chuck Noll. Joe Greene recently explained how Noll changed the Steelers’ culture.

“My first meeting with the team, I had held out for two weeks, and when I came into the meeting room in training camp, Chuck Noll, our head coach, it was his first year, he said to the group, ‘I want you guys to meet our number one draft choice, Joe Greene,'” Greene said recently on Tony McGee Pro Football Plus TV Show.
