Ron Erhardt Passes Away

Just heard that former Steelers assistant coach Ron Erhardt has died at age 80.

Ron briefly coached the Patriots and coached the Giants offense to 2 Super Bowl wins. He also coached the Steelers offense for four years, 1992-1995, making the playoffs every year (in spite of Neil O'Donnell :-D ) and ending in the Super Bowl run of the 1995 season. I always liked his style and thought he did a good job. R.I.P. Coach.

 

With all the Manning/Tebow talk, this story kind of got lost. Thanks for the info. R.I.P. Coach Erhardt.

Here's a link for everyone else:

Very good offensive coordinator in the early Cowher years. RIP Coach Erhardt.

 

sad to hear. he had a good life and i'm sure will be missed. he was very good at what he did. he had a good resume in the nfl. RIP coach. :hello:

 

Gosh, those were some great years, seems like the last years we were a great run team, 60 MINUTE MEN

 

Sad to here this news. Had very good success when the Steelers went to the Super Bowl in 1995. RIP Coach Erhardt!!!

 

Got Neil O'Donnell to the Super Bowl. Nuff said!

 

RIP :-(

 

I thought he and cowher had a beef and cowher said it was him or me.And didn't he try to make kordell into a pocket qb? Bad time to bring up but wanted to make sure we were talking about the same guy.Espn mentioned the other two teams that he was with and as an after thought mentioned the steelers.

 

I think you might be thinking about Tom Donahoe. I think the emergence of Chan Galey was what prompted Cowher to dump Erhardt.

 

sorry to hear RIP
