Excellent point. Noll built Steeler Nation. Cowher and Tomlin were/are average HC's that have been riding what he built for the last 30 years (Tomlin should have been fired five years ago).Noll created his team almost entirely from scratch. Lombardi is revered, but I think a 'good, hard look' at the facts would bring about a good debate as to which coach was better.
