Lionel Taylor, an assistant coach with the Steelers during their Super Bowl dynasty of the 1970s who later went on to become the first Black offensive coordinator in the NFL, died last week after a short illness in New Mexico. He was 89. Taylor coached the receivers under Chuck Noll from 1970-76. He coached future Pro Football Hall of Famers Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, both of whom came to the Steelers in the 1974 draft. Swann was a first-round pick and Stallworth a fourth-round pick. He won two Super Bowl rings with the Steelers with their wins over Minnesota and Dallas.
