Quick! Who's the only head coach to defeat the Steelers in a Super Bowl?

[givemebackmycountry]

That would be Barry Switzer.
Here is a fun article:

"But there is only one coach who has ever beaten the Steelers in a Super Bowl. And after Switzer’s Cowboys were finished defeating Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XXX, something changed in Dallas. The mighty Cowboy dynasty started to crumble. A new salary cap was going into effect and decisions had to be made. Good players had to go. That night at the Buttes turned out to be the last great moment of the Dallas Cowboys. Nothing was ever the same".

2. The team won that game.

3. Trick question.

It was Neil O'Donnell, a quarterback, who defeated the Steelers in that Super Bowl.

4. Now that's really the best answer...

I seem to recall he threw a late interception, and as the Cowboys were running it back down the sidelines Bill Cowher looked like he was going to step on the field and tackle the player himself.

I have to go find that clip.

7. That was Larry Brown who had two interceptions in the game.

He was Super Bowl MVP.
Left to become a Raider.

Larry Who?

5. Switzer is also 5-0 combined in bowl games against Osborne, Bowden and Paterno

Terrific coach. By far the best litmus test question regarding football knowledge and football handicapping instincts is opinion of Barry Switzer. My friends and I have used it for years in Las Vegas, actually more than a decade. Any newcomer who provides the simpleton knocks on Switzer is an immediate go against candidate. We want his picks so we can go the other way.

Here's a more relevant angle: Switzer is one of only 3 coaches in NFL history to win a title the year after his team was dethroned. It's an incredibly difficult scenario. Normally a team is in a downer mode one year after failing to defend its championship. The only two coaches who have managed the feat alongside Switzer are George Halas in the '40s and Bill Belichick in 2003.

Mike Tomlin has the opportunity on Sunday.

6. Well, he lost to Arizona State in the Fiesta Bowl, so that's not saying much.

8. Several things wrong with that.

1.) "Swizter's" Cowboys were just Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys with a puppet of a head coach.

2.) Add Mike McCarthy to that list. A dude from.... Pittsburgh.

9. I Heard That Switzer Slept with the Wives of his Assistant Coaches at OU

is there any truth to that?
