Lionel Taylor

[stuntmanmike]

The great lion Lionel Taylor has passed away… we Steeler fans owe him a lot he gave the seventy’s team a HOF passing game that gave Pittsburgh 2 more Super Bowls than they might have gotten. As a player he was nearly unstoppable as a wr for Denver. The head coach for Denver coached with Sid Gillman and Chuch Noll at SanDiego. When he retired from playing Noll hired him to coach the passing game for the Steelers. Noll quit recommending head coaches because every time teams would call him asking for recommendations he would say Lionel and they’d hang up the phone on him. It’s sad he never got a chance to coach because he was black. God speed Lionel you were a great player, great coach, and a great Steeler!!!
