Steelers President Art Rooney II on the Possible Nomination
of Dan Rooney for Ambassador to Ireland
We are all extremely happy for my father to possibly have the opportunity to be considered to serve our country as Ambassador to Ireland. If selected, he will do an outstanding job.
Our operations at the Steelers will continue as they have in the past. Right now our focus is on the upcoming NFL Draft, and Kevin Colbert and his staff are preparing for that. Our offseason program has begun, which means Mike Tomlin and his staff have already started to work with the players toward putting together the team that will represent the Steelers in 2009.
This is an exciting time for my father and for the Steelers. Our goal, as it is every year, is to win another Super Bowl championship.
