Well it appears at least the Steelers coaching staff won't look too different, at least in the coordinator positions.
Expectedly, Bruce Arians got boosted up to offensive coordinator. Although history is not on Arians' side in terms of his results as an O.C. for three years with the Brownies, it's the smart move. The last thing the Steelers want to do is start from scratch with the offense. Surely, they are not far away at all in making that offense start clicking again.
Maybe keeping Ben away from motorcycles in the off-season, for a start.
The PG also reports that Russ Grimm may have misread the situation with his hiring status. I'm not so sure with that, although of course it's strictly my opinion. I really think that there was something related to Grimm that just didn't set well with the Rooneys, whether it was his discussions during the interview, or maybe that the Steelers thought that the team's coaching staff was starting to head too much in the buddy-buddy direction. In terms of Grimm, as I've said a couple of times recently, he's had several interviews over the past few years, but no 2nd interviews, and of course, no head coaching jobs yet.
Lastly, my thanks once again to the Blog N' Gold section of the PG for linking to The Confluence's post concerning the Steelers' hiring of Mike Tomlin. Appreciate the pub, as well as your kind words, boys.
