Whiz Is Available

Word around the league is Whiz is a stubborn assed coach...instead of devising schemes to fit players strengths, he opts to stick to HIS scheme and force players to adapt. It doesn't work unless you purposely draft every skill position suited for your scheme. Aint nobody got time fuh dat !!!!

They are pro athletes they should be able to adapt to anything scheme wise. The NFL has the best of the best. Its not cause of scheme. Its cause guys can play. Now if they are too lazy and are stubborn to go through the small things such as the playbook, diet, teammate familiarity then yes
 
No one has seen or heard from Grimm since Dec 2012 when he was canned along with Whiz by the Cardinal front office....nowhere to be found.

Grimm hosted an OL camp back in June of this year http://www.wpxi.com/news/sports/russ-grimm-hall-of-fame-pittsburgh-football-camp/nmY7Q/

Seems to be retired, still itching to get back into coaching but nothing's come his way.

“I always keep it open,” Grimm said. “You know, the game’s changing a little bit as far as what the owners want, what the general managers want. I have a certain path that I want to follow, that I think will be a successful one. If somebody wants to give me a chance, then I’ll do it. If it’s not the right situation, then I’m not gonna do it. My agent keeps telling me ‘Well, there’s only 32 jobs, quit turning these [interviews] down. Well if it not’s the job that I want, if it’s not the situation that I want, I’m not gonna put my name up there.

“You want me to put my name up there, then let me hire the coaches that I want and do stuff like that, and then we’ll roll from there,” Grimm said. “So I’m gonna wait and see. I’m 55, I’ve got my players’ pension, I’m enjoying life. I don’t need a lot. A couple of cold beers, see the guys, a sandwich, whatever — I’m good to go.”
 
Anyone know where Russ Grimm is now?



Not sure as to why one would care.......WE have a pretty dang good OL coach right now. but to answer your question, NOone has seen russ since he hit the send button.........




Salute the nation
 
Riverboat Ron is a pretty successful coach. Whomever determined that he should be interviewed made a good decision.
 
For some reason the Rooney's did not want Whiz as HC even before they hired Tomlin. Neither of us knows that reason but in retrospect it looks pretty good.
Your answer is easy really. Clan Rhuneh simply asked outgoing coach Bill Cowher.
Done.

Rivera was their first Rooney Rule compliant interview. After that, they weren't required to interview Tomlin or any other minority.
