CapitalDefense Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 After Joe hangs it up, Russ should be our next HC, we should try to hire him as an assistant right now, thoughts? http://news.steelers.com/team/coach/49256/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 we tried that when Joe first came back. He wants to stay in Pitt. Look where it got him: a ring, and a shot at a HC stint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackOps Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yeah, you can't just "hire someone right now." Its unrealistic to think you should just fire someone and bring someone else in. We're loaded with guys who have been coordinators before, last thing we need is someone else to poke their big head in. Hey, at least you weren't calling for Urban Meyer to become our offensive coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Holmes Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I like the idea though, and ex-hog as the Skins HC? You damn well know what our philosophy would be then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burgundy Rhino Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Its not that he wanted to stay in Pittsburgh per say. Is that #1. You can't steal somebody under contract for the same gig they have with another team #2. Why leave the consistency of the Burgh? personally, I think if the following things happened. #1. Joe stayed as team Prez, making sure Russ gets time to get it right. #2. We did hire a GM that isn't Joe or Vinny #3. You gave Russ 100% control over his staff then it could work. anything less and I'd be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tastes Like Chicken Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yes! Let Gregg and Al walk, and make Grimm the Head Coach. I hope that he doesn't get hired somewhere else in the meantime. I'd rather have Grimm than Cowher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinpride1 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Russ Grim is perfect for the job here after Joe Gibbs leaves.The steelers might make him there next head coach if Cowher retires.I would love to see him come to the skins!!!Maybe Synders money can pry him away!!!

Uno Mas Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 He's one of two leading candidates to take the STEELERS HC job. Im agree with everybody else whos stated that we need to sit tight with what we've got in place right now. However, if we cant get it together in the next two seasons then it will be the obvious time to rebuild from top to bottom. We may not have a choice!

ChampSkinsFanatic Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I want Gibbs, Joe Gibbs should have pulled a Brian Billick and took the play calling back. This season was really a waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burgundy Rhino Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Even though most want to know every detail of what's going on during the offseason. I think we should be hoping to hear NOTHING from Redskins Park between now and the draft. Then nothing again between the draft and camp. You want to sign a few backups? do it. Just no pressers. Stay off the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethrodsp Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I hope Grimm gets the Steelers job. The Rooneys are the best people to work for in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethrodsp Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Russ is not sexy enough for Danny he wants Cowher at 6-7 mill a year No doubt. Wouldnt it be nice to hire some young hungry guys in the FO and at HC instead of retreads and college coaches? Personally, I would like our next head coach to have no head coaching experience at all. This means that we would actually have to do some real research and scouting though, so I doubt it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twenty-eight Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Even if he doesn't get the HC job with the Steelers, it's likely that he'll stay in Pittsburgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "if" has occured (Cowher is gone.) I think he may get the nod there and I wish him well but right now I am one who wants to work with what we have. CONSISTENCY!

JoeGibbsThickandthin Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Russ Grimm would go 4-12 here. People still think coaching is the problem when we have a hall of fame coach, Greg Williams and Al Saunders. NOW WE NEED A YOUNG COACH. BEEN THERE. DONE THAT. Norv Turner 7 years. Does not make up for a lack of GM. SHOOT. Our D Backs coach Jerry Gray had one of the top defenses in 05. COACHING IS NOT THE PROBLEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggoraider Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 How about we stick with the coach that we have right now. Gibbs has not indicated that he is leaving and I know that he is a damn good coach so I do not see any reason to be suggesting either Grimm or Cowher at this point.

riggoraider Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Losing causes depression. losing = wanting to change. That's understood but we also have to understand that the prior season we were 10-6 and in the playoffs with the same coaching staff. We are not looking at the fact the injury bug killed us this year. Portis was hurt from the start of the season, not to take anything away from Betts because he played great but I would have rather had both backs healthy. Our D-lineman stayed hurt to at the bigging of the season we had to start Golston AND Montgomery, starting 2 late round rookies was not a good thing. Everytime someone looked at Springs hard he was hurt, but I still like Springs and hopefully the same things will not happen to him next season, can't nobody be that unlucky. Brunell was not hurt but he was 37 that is almost the same as being hurt because after all those years of playing football his body is just worn down. Hopefully, Campbell will be the answer to that problem. So I am optimistic about next season BECAUSE of the coaches that we have NOT inspite of them.

If a team is losing they just want to do THE OPPPOSITE. We have old coaches. GET YOUNG ONES We get free agents. ONLY BUILD THRU DRAFT We lose people in free agency . BRING THE WHOLE TEAM BACK REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY PLAY. I just laugh now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfbovey Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The Redskins had an interest in Grimm but the only way he could leave or get out of that contract is if he had a head coaching offer. Skins were only interested in him as a coordinator. It would have had to of been an upward move, not parallel. He's going to make an outstanding head coach, more than likely for the Steelers.
