Timeline
John Pollock Michelosen (February 13, 1916 – October 17, 1982) was an American football player and coach.
He started for three years, playing on Pittsburgh's national championship teams in 1936 and 1937.
He was a team captain in 1937.
He was also a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
He was drafted in the 12th round of the 1938 NFL Draft.
Michelosen was the backfield coach on the 1946 and 1947 Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff.
Michelosen served as a naval flight instructor for three years in World War II.
After graduating, Michelosen joined Pitt's staff as an assistant football coach.
He served as the head coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL) from 1948 to 1951, compiling a record of 20–26–2.
After his college career, Sutherland and Michelosen continued their relationship as coach and player with the (football) Brooklyn Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers until Sutherland's death in 1948.
In 1948 Michelosen became the youngest head coach of any National Football League (NFL) team in the league's "modern era" (loosely defined as since 1946) when he took command of the Steelers.
In 1949 Michelosen guided the Steelers to a second-place finish in the NFL's Eastern Division.
At the time only division champions qualified for post-season play.
He led Pitt to back-to-back major bowl games in the 1950s.
Michelosen was an influence on NFL greats such as Mike Ditka and Marty Schottenheimer, both of whom were born and raised near Pittsburgh and played for Pitt in the 1950s.
Michelosen also has a place in the civil rights history of the country, guiding the first team to break the color barrier in the southern bowls.
Michelosen's tenure as Steelers head coach lasted until 1951 and he compiled a 20–26–2 record.
From 1955 to 1965 he was the head football coach at his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh, tallying a mark of 56–49–7.

Michelosen returned to the University of Pittsburgh in 1955 and served as head football coach for 11 seasons, through the 1965 campaign.
In the 1956 Sugar Bowl, Pittsburgh became the first sports team ever to field an African American player in the deep south.
At the age of 32 years and two months he remained the youngest head coach in NFL history until 1962 when Harland Svare beat him out by four months in mid-season.
His 1963 team finished the season with a 9–1 record and ranked #3 and #4 in the major polls, but was not invited to a bowl game, perhaps due to the postponement of a game against Penn State following the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Michelosen put together a 56–49–7 record over 11 seasons, with only four losing campaigns.
Pitt was ranked as high as #3 in the nation during the height of his coaching career and was ranked among the top ten programs six seasons and the top 25 for seven seasons with Michelosen at the helm.

They were the last NFL team to discontinue the scheme as a primary offense.
