Lineman don't get traditional stats kept for them, but here's a cursory look at Grimm's very nice career vs. McDaniels via PFR. It's clear that McDaniels case was much stronger.

McDaniel

Grimm

Grimm probably needs to do something of note with his coaching career to get elected. I'd call him 'borderline', and it's great that he's come as far as he has in the process, but he's going to keep getting passed over unless he does something as a NFL head coach, unfortunately.

What about his contribution to AZ if they win the SB. I'm sure that will help. With a SB as a assistant HC and Line coach might that be enough?

I really doubt that the voters will treat his work as an assistant coach in his hall case, but I guess you never know what they are thinking.
