Sources close to the situation have indicated the Steelers final decision will come down to offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin. Steelers representatives have been very impressed by the way Tomlin conducts himself and he has jumped ahead of Russ Grimm during the interviewing process. Tomlin 34 years old would be a very surprising pick but who thought the Steelers would consider Bill Cowher when they signed him in 1992.
