Bill Austin. Now there's a name you don't hear much anymore.
Interesting to note, however, that when the Steelers decided to move on from Austin following the 1968 season, their first choice was Joe Paterno, then in only his third year at Penn State. The Steelers' $70K annual salary offer dwarfed the $20K Paterno was making at PSU, but he ultimately turned down the job because he felt he hadn't yet accomplished what he wanted to at Penn State.
Of course, we all know how things played out on both fronts.
Once they turned to Noll (who was recommended by Shula), they had to beat out the Raiders for him. Once Noll chose the Steelers he recommended (Raiders LB Coach) John Madden to the Al Davis. Noll and Madden had worked together with the Chargers.
