Bold choice there. I never saw that one coming

All that'd be left then is Pittsburgh and Miami (unless, of course, San Diego fires Marty or Dungy retires if Indy wins it all)

Russ Grimm is basically a lock for the Steelers job from what I hear. Don't know why they're waiting so long to announce it. I sure hope he gets it.

As for the Dolphins, this one could get interesting. They just made Dom Capers the highest paid assistant coach in the NFL (slightly higher than G. Will). So whoever they hire is either going to be a young pup who doesn't care that he'll be paid less than an assistant, or a big timer. My first thought is they're waiting to see if Schottenheimer is available. But then, with Capers, why hire another defensive guy? A more likely possibility is Dennis Green. He's an offensive guy. Arizona still owes him money so they'd basically pay part of his salary in Miami, and he'd be reunited with Daunte Culpeper.
