The Facts:
Russ Grimm has been offered and has accepted the Steelers' head coaching position, a source in Pittsburgh confirmed late Saturday. ESPN and SI.com reported yesterday that Minnesota Vikings DC Mike Tomlin had been chosen to replace Bill Cowher. An NFL source confirmed yesterday that Tomlin had not heard from the Steelers and no contract negotiations had taken place.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Here we go again. ... It should be noted that team officials continue to say nobody has been hired. "We have heard all the rumors, and we have nothing to confirm at this point," Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Asked whether the team had a news conference scheduled this weekend to announce that its search for a coach was over, Lockett said, "No, nothing planned, and we would certainly tell you and all the media if we did. ..." Sure they would. Stay tuned. More to come -- hopefully when the official announcement is made.
