The Rooney Rule was formed by Mr. Rooney in order to promote diversity in coaching hires.
Rooney served as team's president from 1975-03 and played a major role in all six of the team's Super Bowl championships.
Learning of his passing, members of the Pittsburgh franchise, both past and present chose to show their respect for the beloved Rooney. "On behalf of every Pennsylvanian, Frances and I express our deepest condolences to the Rooney family, Dan's friends and colleagues, and every member of Steeler Nation, and we encourage Pennsylvanians statewide to join us in this tribute". My goal was to build a team that could sustain a winning tradition just like the Rooney family had with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In my experiences with him at the National Football League meetings, I always admired the way he conducted himself, with great humility, dignity and kindness.
Mr Rooney was co-founder of the Ireland Funds, which helped fund peace and reconciliation projects. You will never be forgotten.
