The Steelers were determined not to rush into hiring a new coach, even if it meant losing a top candidate to another NFL team. After all, the Steelers have had two coaches in 38 years -- and both were Super Bowl winners. They didn't want to hastily fill what traditionally is the most stable coaching job in pro sports. The Steelers' diligence in finding Bill Cowher's successor cost them offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, a move that leaves offensive line coach Russ Grimm as the clear front-runner. It also could mean the Steelers will have their new coach in place by the end of the week.
