===Relationship with Chuck Noll=== While Bradshaw never had any problems with the Rooney family, he had a complicated relationship with Steelers head coach [[Chuck Noll]]. Noll and Bradshaw had an uneasy relationship during his playing days, with Bradshaw stating that he felt that Noll was too hard on him and never liked him, though the two made peace (at least publicly) before Noll's death in 2014.<ref name="Noll">{{cite web|url=https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/terry-bradshaw-says-he-will-never-talk-about-chuck-noll-again/|title=Terry Bradshaw says he will never talk about Chuck Noll again|first=Bryan|last=DeArdo|publisher=[[CBSSports]]|access-date=April 10, 2018|archive-date=October 20, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020032251/https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/terry-bradshaw-says-he-will-never-talk-about-chuck-noll-again/|url-status=live}}</ref> In an interview with [[NFL Films]] in 2016 for an episode of ''[[A Football Life]]'' about Noll, Bradshaw felt that they had too much of a culture clash with their personalities.
