From Ed Bouchette of The Pittsburgh Post Gazette:
Dan Rooney resigned all of his positions on NFL committees he held at the league meetings in March. Now, he has one more resignation to make.
Once he is confirmed by the Senate as United States Ambassador to Ireland, likely to happen in June, Rooney will step down as chairman of the Steelers.
Rooney would likely carry the title of chairman emeritus of the Steelers after that. His son, Art Rooney II, replaced Dan as president of the team in 2002 and will continue in that role.
Another major change in the franchise will be the official closing on the restructured ownership. The closing date has again been pushed back and now is scheduled sometime later in June.
