so i decided to become a Steelers fan back in 2003 when they went 5-11 that season. i picked them because they were a east coast team and i'm from New England and i hate the Patriots, i also didn't want to pick a new york team because they didn't appeal to me. i was going to pick the Eagles but my ex was an eagles fan and i wanted to be a rival since the eagles were my ex boyfriends team (2 penn. state teams) SOOOOO i picked the Steelers!
the steelers coach right now is mike tomlin, hes one of those grid iron, blue collar coaches. he's mean gritty and pushes the best out of you. in 2005 it was bill cowher, he was a very smart coach and mike was his defensive coach, and kent whisenhunt was his offensive coach. in 2006 bill cowher was retiring and art ronney didnt know who to pick next but the 2 guys who were up next was mike and kent and the only reason mike got the job was cuz the steelers are pretty much a defensive team. in the 1970s they were known strictly as a defensive team, they were mean, big and scary...like hocky players lol.
my favorite players as of now are troy polamalu, because he pretty much started playing about the time i became there fan. he is an awesome safety. drafted in 2003 1st round 16th pick out of usc trojens. i also really like roethlisberger, drafter 1st round i believe 11th pick out of the U in 2004 nfl draft. and hines ward is my other favorite player. hes a wide receiver. i usually hate the wide receivers cuz they act like divas but hes a great blocker, and he makes those big plays. he contributes a lot to the steelers success, hes also been with the steelers the longest. drafted in 1998 in the 3rd round 93rd pick. no one thought he was ganna be that good but he proved everyone wrong. i dont have an all-time favorite player yet but it would probably have to be one of these players.
