Description This book begins at the beginning of Football and goes right to the Mike Tomlin era.
It is written for those of us who love Pittsburgh Steelers Football.
Those who are not the top fans of the Steelers will also want possession of this book, so they can get a leg up on the facts missing from bookshelves of those Steelers fans who do not have this book.
The book first tells the story about the precursor teams to the Pirates and then the founding of the Pittsburgh Pirates as a new National Football League (NFL) team from Pittsburgh in 1933.
But it reaches back even further in history than 1933 to find the precursor professional football teams from the turn of the century when Pro Football was just beginning.
This book actually takes the Steelers fan on a journey from when there was no football at all, to where American football was only a dream, and then to where American football was played only by colleges with a mixture of soccer and rugby rules.
After explaining how primitive man played football, this book quickly moves on to describe the beginning of football in the US and it recounts the first American Football Game in 1869.
From there, the progression includes college football teams that loved the new sport and their football graduates looking for a place to play football after college.
Eventually all of this builds up to the NFL, and of course the Pittsburgh Pirates, who became The Pittsburgh Steelers, then the Steagles, Card-Pitt, and then a return to the Steelers name.
It moves on to the team's first football game in 1933, and the first Steelers coach, an unknown named Forrest Douds.
Then of course it moves to the new era Pirates /Steelers after thirty years of tough going until the team hired the phenomenal immortal-Chuck Noll and then the to-be immortals, Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin, who between all of them chalked up six Super Bowl wins, tops in the entire NFL After thirty years, management eventually hired great coaches.
The current coach,.
