Unless Harbough is using an NFL style of scheme I would not bring him in. We tried the College approach in Spurrier who was supposed to be the next best thing since sliced bread. His teams put up lots of points on the boards. He comes to the Skins and he fails. Perhaps not given enough time to establish his people for his style of play but clearly his system was easily figured out and defended. He goes back to the college ranks and does pretty good again.

In other words some people were meant to coach college players.

As for Grimm, I do like him and most likely would be good for the O-lineman....but like Smootsmack I have issues with someone who has never called plays before. So if he's actually out in Arizona picking the next play and has an understanding of the offense he wants to run then I would hope he picks up the best OC to back him up. I just don't know if he's worth bringing in. I look at Grimm like I look at Buges. Someone who is good at his position but I don't think he would be a good HC.
