Ok I am very very disapointed we didn't land Cowher. he would have been the lift the franchise desperately needs IMO. But I guess that issue is dead. Moving on...
Marty Schottenheimer
Pro's- experienced, proven NFL winner. Hard nosed guy that will take charge. Plays a physical brand of football that fits the identity I want to see us establish. Is probably gettable. I didn't want his candy ass son.
Con's- he's 66 years old and he's been out of the game for 8 years. Think of him as a returning Dick Vermeil. I'd take that right now.
Russ Grimm
Pro's- Knows offensive line play inside and out as both a player and coach which will eventually turn that weakness into a strength. Has been around success his whole football life and that can only help him create a culture of winning. Will likely emphasize a Steelers style in your face attack which is something I favor for a bad weather team with no QB.
Con's- from reports it doesn't seem like he's excited about the job right now and we need that. He's also never been a HC and that's very different that being an asst. But we're in no position to quibble about any of that right now.
Bottom line? Either of these guys would be a credible hire. Not the big splash we really needed with Cowher but not stick your head in the oven time either. I hope AZ loses Sunday and we can put a bow on this next week. Whoever it is needs to get busy forming a staff.
