Yeah I didn't mean to imply that Tomlin doesn't deserve it. Just wondering why, out of two relatively unknown coaches, they chose the one that hasn't been a part of the organization for the past several years. I wonder what they saw, or didn't see, in Grimm. Did he interview poorly? Was he asking for too much control?
