How Did Noll and Cowher Fair in their Heading Coaching Debuts?
Mike Tomlin did something in his first preseason game as an NFL head coach that neither the great Chuck Noll or Bill Cowher were able to– he won it. Chuck Noll debuted in 1969 with a 27-12 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. In 1992, Bill Cowher lost his first game 35-33 to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Does it mean anything? Probably not, but winning is never a bad thing and Mike Tomlin’s team sure looked impressive last night in its first showing.
