Son replaces Rooney as Steelers' president

Son replaces Rooneyas Steelers' president
PITTSBURGH -- Dan Rooney named his son, Art Rooney II, to replace him as president of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported today. The change was made very quietly, and there was little to note it -- except for barely noticeable changes in the Steelers' media guide. "I just thought it was time," Dan Rooney, 71, told the newspaper. "Art has been involved with a lot of the business of the team. He's going to take on more of the tasks and things like that." The low-key transition is the same way Steelers founder Art Rooney Sr. turned over the team to Dan Rooney in 1975.
