You realize this is how Lavell did it too right?

How is it official? No link?

By the mouth of two or three witnesses.

How is it official? And in what capacity?

Home run hire IMO.

Is it just ol coach? If so I agree.

Yes. Likely has a AHC title as well to pay him more. Grimes and Arod are a

Doesnt hill have that title right now?

Yes. They will both have it

As long as they understand and are happy with their roles, titles don’t matter.

It's weird a position coach reports to the HC rather than the OC. That seems fraught with dysfunction

CLCougar

12/3/23 6:00pm

It may be more of a CO-OCs deal in practice

puntersarepeople

12/3/23 6:09pm

This is essentially what it was in 2020. Grimes is not the best play caller.

Cougs2012

12/3/23 6:11pm

True but Grimes was the official OC back then. ARod was promoted when he left. Weird dynamics imo

CLCougar

12/3/23 6:12pm

Fair. I think/hope the group hopes it just goes back to how it was in 2020

Cougs2012

12/3/23 6:17pm

It all depends on humility

puntersarepeople

12/3/23 6:20pm

ARod or Grimey or both? It's just seems a dysfunctional arrangement imo...

CLCougar

12/3/23 6:26pm

Both.

It’s probably only confusing to us on the outside.

Grimes may well be the run game Coordinator but not play caller.

We need new blood at some point.

I'd rather old and proven over new blood any day.

Jesse Pinkman

They don't need "new blood" at the OL coaching position

puntersarepeople

12/3/23 5:57pm

You don’t. Especially when they’re proven

Agreed. Oh you're not talking about CB posters. Sorry. You're wrong.......

I mean last time we had Grimes and ARod BYU had it's best three years of offense

Grimes is not even close to low hanging fruit.

As an OL coach plus management responsibilities… not a bad hire imo

Not a bad hire for the OL. Very safe.

HuskerFan2

12/3/23 5:53pm

We’ll ya that’s a given with KS

kotacoug

12/3/23 5:53pm

So your argument is you want change for the sake of change?

whoneedscorners?

12/3/23 5:54pm

The quote from BYU was that they were going to be "very ambitious" in who they hire.

HuskerFan2

12/3/23 7:19pm

Given the fact Grimes could coach OL at the vast majority of P5s, yes

Well… by most any school’s standards, hiring a multi year P4 OC as OL coach is

12/3/23 9:28pm

Not acceptable. It needed to be a P4 HC 😉

puntersarepeople

12/3/23 9:31pm

He didn’t forget how to coach O line or to be the “bad guy” that KS can’t do!!

truecougster

12/3/23 7:58pm

BYU line has not been better the last 20 years than when Grimes was coach.

idcougarfan

Yep. Was o-line coach at LSU as well. The guy is really good. Would be awesome

Desperately needed since Kalani wants to be every player's "friend".
