The Pittsburgh
Steelers are an American Football Team, and date
back to 1933. They are the oldest team in the
American Football Conference having played in
every game to date and are tied with the Dallas
Cowboys for championship appearances at 14 games
each. Their most recent Super Bowl Victory was
February 1, 2009 and they have been in at least
one Super Bowl every decade since it was
created. The Steelers were originally known as
the Pittsburgh Pirates, and is now run by Dan
Rooney, although his son Art Rooney II has most
of the control over the franchise.
The Steeler
franchise has never left the Rooney family and
over the years, the fan base has grown to be
known as the “Steeler Nation.” The team’s former
coach, Bill Cowher, brought the team to six
playoffs in his first six seasons as head coach.
He also led the team to the playoffs for two
thirds of his stay with the team with ten of his
fifteen seasons resulting in a playoff
competition and one Super Bowl Victory. The 2009
season for the Steelers was recorded at nine
wins, and seven losses. They placed third in the
AFC North Division and Ben Reothlisberger got
the honor of Team MVP.! |
