I think that Noll knew after SB 14 that it was over. On the Football Life show that they did about him, I think his son said that he told his mom that. They did have a chance to save the dynasty because of the 82 strike, but I think the loss to the Chargers in the first round was the dagger for the 70's Steelers.74_75_78_79_ wrote:I remember the Herschel trade and knowing what a coach like Jimmy would do with that talent. When Dallas-fan peers were saying "Dallas, Team of the '90s", despite the 1-15 they were going through, I actually believed. Couldn't necessarily "enjoy" Jerry getting "punished" by Karma for firing Landry. And when Jimmy with such convincing confidence and swagger after the Turkey Day "Bounty Bowl" said at the post-game presser, (maybe paraphrasing) "Our Day will come", I believed it!
Both having actually HC-ed against each other in '69, I believe Vince Lombardi pretty much predicted that Noll's Steelers had quite a future. I think he said "Team of the '70s", but not sure.
"Team of the '80s" by the time SBXIV was in the books? If my Street & Smith '80 preview is any proper indication, I would imagine most of the 'experts' assumed the Steelers would keep on keeping on due to Noll never getting complacent/satisfied. Noll never would, but his players would still get older and new additions at least relatively less-talented than the prior decade and it, sadly, all caught up.
