To whom did the Steelers offer the head coaching job to prior, to Chuck Noll ?

I believe New England also offered him a head coaching gig later, which he accepted, but then changed his mind shortly thereafter.
You got it right Ruthless
Who was the Steeler's coach before Noll? (no googling)

Hmmm...the Johnny "Blood" McNally era was too long ago...not late 60's. I'll take a shot in the dark and say Walt Keisling.
(now I'm going to check on Google as soon as I submit this)...
Drat! Missed it!!! Of course, I was born in 1975, so what do I know. Interesting that Kiesling was the coach on 3 separate occassions, though (39-40, 41-44, and 54-56). Bert Bell's Steelers went 0-2 in 1941, then they switched to Aldo Donelli who went 0-5 in 1941, before handing the reigns back to Kiesling again late in the 1941 season...3 coaches in 1 year! I don't think even George Steinbrenner ever did that!
Bill Austin before Noll
Correct, Fezzig. Good job!
