Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt made a key addition to his staff Tuesday, hiring Russ Grimm as assistant head coach/offensive line, the team announced.

Grimm held that same position with the Steelers and was a finalist to replace Bill Cowher in Pittsburgh. But Mike Tomlin was hired for the job, and the Steelers released Grimm from his contract.

More from the Arizona Republic.

WOW. This is huge news. I can honestly say, good job to the Ken Whisenhunt for hiring what seems to be a fantastic staff around him so far. He is hiring assistants that have solid experience and that is what a first time coach in the NFL must do. Two thumbs up!
