The Steelers have announced today that Hall of Famer Joe Greene has retired from their player personnel department.

Greene, who spent the last nine years as a special assistant for pro and college personnel for General Manager Kevin Colbert, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987 after spending his entire NFL playing career with the Steelers and becoming one of the best defensive tackles in league history.

“When I played, our success was based on the people there — the players, coaches and front office — and I felt the same way when I was in scouting,” Greene said. “The people were very important to me, brought me along and made me feel comfortable, and I thought we made a pretty good team together. The people that I was working with made it all good for me — made it important to me — made it special. I will miss everyone in the Steelers organization.”.............

Thanks Joe. Many years of great memories on the field and your presence in the FO, I'm sure, made a difference.

Happy retirement Mr. Greene.

The cornerstone of the 1970's Steelers.

His presence within the organization shall be missed. One of, if not THE greatest Steelers ever.

Without Mean Joe, the Steelers don't dominate the 70s. Period.

Enjoy retirement, Mean Joe!
