I just hope Tom, Kalani and A-Rod have a back-up plan they can execute quickly. Head Coaches and Assistants are moving around fast.

Jeff Grimes no longer coming.

Is he going to New Mexico?

BYUheaven

12/6/23 5:31pm

Was he ever really?

WJCougar

12/6/23 5:32pm

No, but it was close. Couldn’t come to terms on contract length and assistants.

Grimes loves Grinds?

I don’t believe that’s a thing anymore.

Are non-LDS faculty required to live the Word of Wisdom in their homes?

No, doesn’t want to commit to 3-year contract.

Um, really? Like the length of contract matters to any coach?

well, of course he got more money somewhere else. It was an OC job over OL job

fattycoug

Assistants? He’s the OL coach

YIsForBrigham

What assistants? Why would an OL coach have assistants?

This appears to be objectively incorrect, now

This is a real shame. I thought we were one of the big boys now.

We were going to pay him more than Baylor was willing to pay.

I follow Cougarboard to learn, get inside scoop, and be entertained.

DawgHaus

12/6/23 6:44pm

Maybe BYU should just cut out the O Line and TE coaching positions completely. That should save some pretty good bucks.

And results should be similar 🤷‍♂️

He’s LDS and he was the HC at Snow College

He was at TCU and a GA at North Carolina and Houston before going to Snow

He’s a better coach than Grimes.

So looks like Grimes was stringing BYU along to get the OC position at Kansas

This being reported?

Yes, I saw it on ESPN.

I wouldn't call it stringing along if he's gotten a better position/pay

Yeah, Grimes wasn't using an OL BYU position as leverage for OC at KU.

For some reason he did not want to take a pay cut and a demotion. To figure?

I'm rather shocked he landed another OC position, unless their HC is gonna be heavily involved in schemes

I agree. Getting fired from Baylor and landing an OC job at Kansas is

And their offense was explosive, not things I associate with Grimes' offenses

CameronG

12/7/23 2:03pm

Exactly. It's a headscratching hire IMO, unless there's an understanding his focus is on Oline and Run game and Liepold
