Grimm absolutely deserves the chance to coach. Heck, I was certain he was going to be named Lions head coach last offseason.

However, I don't think the Steelers can just anoint him the next coach (or Whisenhunt) just like I don't think the Redskins can just say that Williams will be the next head coach here. That would be a violation of the Rooney Rule right? Minority coaches have to at least be given an interview. And if you say well Grimm is the next head coach but we'll go ahead and interview Greg Blache anyway to appease the Rooney Law, it makes the whole idea of the Rooney Rule a scam. Which some argue it is already, but if any team has to abide by the rule it's the Steelers.
