I had heard on Sports talk 980 that Grimm's biggest problem is that he is not very good with the media and when you are talking about being a head coach you have to be a good coach and good with the media.

interesting, can't say I've ever heard him in an interview.
PR is definitely part of the job.

See I think the whole PR thing is a bunch of BS. Is Bill B. a good PR guy? Hell no. But he's a great football coach and that's all that matters.

i saw him a few times being interviewed as a player,i have'nt seen him being interviewed as a coach though.bac in the 1980s,we used to get channel 5 out of dc,and steve buckhantz had a
redskins show that came on monday nights.i saw grimm,jacoby,george starke,a lot of guys come on that show and talk on more than one occasion.i'd love to see grimm in dc because he can't do anything but help gibbs and some of the older guys on staff catch up on what they missed when they all left in the 1990s!
