Gailey to become fifth Steelers coaching candidateAssociated Press

PITTSBURGH -- Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey will be
interviewed for the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching job, the fifth
coach to meet with the team since Bill Cowher resigned last week.

Team owner Dan Rooney and president Art Rooney II plan to meet
with Gailey on Saturday, and may hold a second round of interviews
with the finalists next week. The Steelers also followed that
procedure before hiring Cowher from among four finalists in 1992.

The Steelers appeared to be winding down their search after
meeting previously with Steelers assistants Russ Grimm and Ken
Whisenhunt, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin and
Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. They have not asked
for permission to interview any other NFL assistant coaches, but
decided Thursday to also interview Gailey.

Grimm and Whisenhunt have been considered the favorites since
the start of the search.

Whisenhunt, the Steelers' offensive coordinator, also
interviewed with the Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons and Arizona
Cardinals and will have a second interview with Arizona this
weekend. Grimm also interviewed with the Cardinals.

Gailey was a Steelers assistant under Cowher from 1994-97,
spending his final two seasons as the offensive coordinator, before
becoming Dallas Cowboys coach. He had an 18-16 record in two
seasons there, including a 10-6 regular-season mark and a division
championship in 1998.

At Georgia Tech, Gailey has a 37-27 record with four bowl game
appearances in as many seasons.
