| 10th January, 2007 - 10:31 pm |  AP - The Steelers may be close to choosing Bill Cowher's successor.
With assistant coaches Russ Grimm and Ken Whisenhunt the front-runners, the Steelers wrapped up their fourth interview in four days by meeting Wednesday with Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin. If the Steelers have any more interviews scheduled, they aren't saying.
Tomlin is 34, the same age Cowher was when the Steelers hired him in 1992. Tomlin is a decided long shot in Pittsburgh, but is one of the NFL's rising young coaches who also interviewed with the Dolphins.
"I don't see myself as 34," Tomlin said. "I just see myself as a football coach."
The question now is whether the Steelers -- namely, president Art Rooney II and chairman Dan Rooney -- see Grimm or Whisenhunt as the better head coach. And it could be that both will be head coaches within a matter of days. [READ] |
