In 1939 Keisling got his first head coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who in 1940 changed their name to Steelers. He also co-coached the merged Pittsburgh-Philadelphia and Pittsburgh-Chicago Cardinals combined teams during World War II. Following the 1944 season, Keisling left the coaching ranks, only to return again in 1954 for another three-year stint with the Steelers. Although the team posted three losing seasons, it earned a reputation for rugged, hard-hitting football â?? much the same as its coach had earned as a player.
