Larry Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I just saw one article that basicly said 'burg wouldn't let him go. (And, I think, the way NFL contracts go, the only way to get him without their permission is to make him head coach. Offensive or Defensive Coordinator might be good enough, but I don't think so.)

MidPennSkin Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 The Steeler's OC, Mike Mularkey, is a candidate for the Buffalo HC job. If he gets it, the Steelers might promote Grimm to the OC position, making him ineligible to take a parallel job as our OC. If Mularkey doesn't get the Bill's HC job, then he will probably stay as the Steeler's OC, and we might then be able to get Grimm by promoting him to be our OC. Not sure if the Steelers can block that kind of a promotion or not, but Grimm would surely be pissed if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsblitz Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I heard Mularkey is like third on Buffalo's list behind Jauron and Fassel. Cross our fingers Mularkey stays in Steeltown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that I don't think they can compel Grimm to take a 'promotion' if he desires not to. Which would take us back to square one. There's got to more to this than we're aware of?

MidPennSkin Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Here's some more info on teams preventing a coach under contract from being interviewed by another team. From '>a thread on Terry Robiskie comes the report that the Cleveland Browns wanted to interview 49er QB coach Ted Tollner for the job of Offensive Coordinator. They were thwarted because the 49ers refused to give Butch Davis of the Browns permission to interview Tollner for the OC position. Davis then named Terry Robiskie the new OC for the Browns. So it appears from this that a team can prevent one of their position coaches from taking a job as OC with another team. Bad news regarding Russ Grimm - looks like the Steelers can deny us the right to interview him. Still, this kind of a move can't improve the morale of the coach who was denied a promotion opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmythehair Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Russ Grimm, the offensive line coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been linked to Gibbs's incomplete staff. But Grimm, a former Hog, isn't likely to land with the Redskins. Grimm is highly regarded in Pittsburgh and has a chance to become the offensive coordinator if Mike Mularkey is named as Williams's replacement in Buffalo.
