GRIMM VISITS WITH 'SKINS?

There's talk on the league grapevine that Cardinals offensive line coach Russ Grimm interviewed on Friday for the vacant head-coaching job with the Redskins.

It's only a rumor at this point -- not fact.

If it's a fact, it makes sense, given that Grimm was one of the "Hogs." And given that Grimm nearly was named the Steelers' coach last year at this time. In fact, there have been reports that Grimm actually had the job before the Steelers did an about-face and gave it to Mike Tomlin.

It's amazing, frankly, that Grimm hasn't gotten any consideration for the other vacant gigs. How does a guy go from being a finalist to off of the map in only one year? It's further proof as to how the media drives the process by focusing on assistant coaches from teams that are doing "well." But even though the Cardinals didn't make the playoffs (again), they have improved, and Grimm should still be in the mix for jobs.
