<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>By Michael Silver, SI.comMike Tomlin, defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, has been chosen as the Pittsburgh Steelers' new head coach, SI.com has learned.The official announcement will come either later Saturday or on Sunday.Tomlin, 34, impressed the Steelers during the interview process with his organization skills, intelligence and grasp of the game, according to a source familiar with the coaching search.He succeeds Bill Cowher, who resigned Jan. 5 after 15 seasons as the Steelers' coach.Tomlin beat out Russ Grimm, 47, a Steelers assistant for six seasons and their assistant head coach for three, who had been considered the front-runner. The other finalist for the job was Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera.Before joining the Vikings a year ago, Tomlin had spent five years as a defensive coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Before that, he was a college assistant at Cincinnati, Arkansas State, Memphis and Virginia Military Institute.Tomlin will become only the third Steelers head coach in 38 years and the NFL's sixth African-American head coach.</div>
well it was a false reportand hell no, grimm does not deserve this job, he's a fat clone of cowher, and that's not a good thing, cowher is a very overrated coach, who never won a thing until stuff fell our way last year..........grimm will probably be worseat least with tomlin if we sign him we'll have someone that comes from a good coaching, all the people that coached under cowher and left to be head coaches have been total flops....
apparently it's true again lol..................... espn.com said it is lol...........I hope it's true...........
