stevewin Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Was going to be a wise-ass and say "John" or "Mean Ernie"... "Arrowhead" Ernie Holmes He was nicknamed "Arrowhead" for his unique hair styling. http://www.pridepromotions.com/mag/steeler/bios23.html

At one point, he was working as a security guard somewhere and I also thought he was coaching for some high school or something. As for the nickname, I've heard him called "Fats" a heck of a lot more than I have heard of him called "Arrowhead". Most of the Pittsburgh fans and even his former teammates still call him Fats.
