Tempe, AZ (My Sportsbook) - The Arizona Cardinals named former Pittsburgh Steelers assistant head coach Russ Grimm as their new assistant head coach and offensive line coach on Tuesday. Grimm spent the previous six seasons as an assistant with the Pittsburgh Steelers, first as offensive line coach from 2001-03 and as then assistant head coach and offensive line coach from 2004-06. New Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt worked with Grimm in Pittsburgh the past several seasons and both helped the Steelers to last year's Super Bowl championship. "Obviously I know Russ very well from our time together with the Steelers and adding a coach of his caliber to the staff is tremendous," said Whisenhunt. Grimm becomes the fifth assistant added to Whisenhunts coaching staff. He joins defensive backs coach Teryl Austin, linebackers coach Billy Davis, strength and conditioning coach John Lott, and special teams coach Kevin Spencer. |
