The 1970s Steelers

Tom Parry, Mike Bubbins, Podstarter.io
About this episode

In this episode, we dive deep into the legendary 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers—a team that defined an era and set the standard for NFL dynasties. Join us as we explore the rise of the Steelers: From underdogs to four-time Super Bowl champions in just six years and the iconic defensive line that terrorized offenses and changed the game. We discuss Terry Bradshaw’s journey: The quarterback’s struggles, triumphs, and the mental toll of leading a dynasty and Chuck Noll’s coaching philosophy: The inscrutable coach who demanded excellence and built a winning machine. Franco Harris, the Immaculate Reception, and the myth-making moments that became NFL lore and the blue-collar spirit of Pittsburgh. Rule changes, rivalries, and the evolution of the NFL in response to the Steelers’ dominance. Personal stories, leadership, and the legacy of players like Mean Joe Greene, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, and more.



So If you’re still grappling to choose a team to support, if you’ve still not entirely sure what a corner back is, or If you’re looking to join a conversation about the NFL without being made to feel like an idiot- then this could be the podcast for you.
