I guess Grimm is next in line for an interview.


It would go nicely with the news that Buges and company want to stay with the team in 2008.

That would be interesting with Russ Grimm as the head coach and his offensive line coordinator being Joe Bugel. Of course they are all assistant head coaches anyway I guess.

Does hiring Grimm or any other candidate who is part of the skins family mean that Gibb's had a larger role in this hiring process than we know about? Maybe gibbs is lookin out for his former colleagues and assuring that they have a job under the new head coach's regime.

That's probably a bit of stretch I think...but I hope Joe is involved at least to some extent. It wouldn't surprise me if Danny gives a strong look at Grimm, given he grew up a Redskins fan.

Let's not all forget that Gibbs wanted to hire Grimm when he came back, but Pittsburgh denied us to interview him and gave him a promotion instead. Grimm is definately a Gibbs guy.

GRIMM VISITS WITH 'SKINS?

There's talk on the league grapevine that Cardinals offensive line coach Russ Grimm interviewed on Friday for the vacant head-coaching job with the Redskins.

It's only a rumor at this point -- not fact.

If it's a fact, it makes sense, given that Grimm was one of the "Hogs." And given that Grimm nearly was named the Steelers' coach last year at this time. In fact, there have been reports that Grimm actually had the job before the Steelers did an about-face and gave it to Mike Tomlin.

It's amazing, frankly, that Grimm hasn't gotten any consideration for the other vacant gigs. How does a guy go from being a finalist to off of the map in only one year? It's further proof as to how the media drives the process by focusing on assistant coaches from teams that are doing "well." But even though the Cardinals didn't make the playoffs (again), they have improved, and Grimm should still be in the mix for jobs.

If Danny doesn't hire Williams, then my second choice would be Russ Grimm...Cowher did an excellent job in Pittsburg and I like him...but I just for some reason can't see him prowling the Redskins sideline...

Doesn't Dennis Green still live in Arizona?

Actually I think he may live in San Diego.

Chris Mortenson has confirmed that the Redskins interviewed Russ Grimm, but he doesn't have much more info than that.
