It’s official. Grimes is back.

stev All-American

12/3/23 5:41pm

How is it official? No link?

cougaman

12/3/23 5:42pm

By the mouth of two or three witnesses.

stev

12/3/23 5:50pm

Well which is it? Two or three?

TNT

12/3/23 6:11pm

I’m not sure you understand what the word official means

CommodoreCoug

How is it official? And in what capacity?

cougarfann888

12/3/23 5:43pm

Home run hire IMO.

Cougs2012

Is it just ol coach? If so I agree.

cougarfann888

12/3/23 5:44pm

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

Doesnt hill have that title right now?

cougarfann888

Yes. They will both have it

Sure. One on charge of offense, one in charge of defense

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

Anything goes in order to prop up the puppet head coach.

Swish

12/3/23 7:47pm

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.

puntersarepeople

12/3/23 6:27pm

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

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

A guy that has proven to be an elite oline coach

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

Jesse Pinkman

12/3/23 5:55pm

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.......

Hate to break it to you… Funk was as new blood as you can get.

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

puntersarepeople

Grimes is not even close to low hanging fruit.

Meh. Triple-retread

HuskerFan2

And how were our O-lines during those treads?

Cougs2012

Pretty farking good bob

All-American

12/3/23 7:27pm

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

kotacoug

12/3/23 5:47pm

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

puntersarepeople

12/3/23 7:25pm

Grimes was an OL coach at LSU when they were competing for

Big Daddy D

12/3/23 9:17pm

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

NYC and Japan

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

12/3/23 5:45pm

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

Stucoug83

12/3/23 5:55pm

And probably not been better in the run game for any appreciable amount of time

cougXor

12/3/23 5:45pm

OL coach plus Associate HC? If so that’s a slam dunk for an OL hire. Plus KS

kotacoug

12/3/23 5:46pm

Bingo. have accountability coaches on both sides of the ball now, Hill n grimes

Cougs2012

12/3/23 5:48pm

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

gopman

12/3/23 6:15pm

The guy can't even utilize his main strength without being ridiculed.

Polecat

12/3/23 6:28pm

Ok Sister Sitake.

gopman

12/3/23 6:41pm

It doesn't take the blind love of a family member to see guys like you

Polecat

12/3/23 6:54pm

That right there is a terrible excuse for a HC. He needs other dudes to hold

Mathew

12/3/23 5:51pm

Umm I am 100% not a KS guy. He’s a terrible program manager but it is

kotacoug

12/3/23 5:55pm

You realize this is how Lavell did it too right?

Cougs2012

12/3/23 6:06pm

Yeah, but he looked pissed all the time.

Mathew

12/3/23 6:12pm

Unlike Kalani LaVell knew his X's & O's (revolutionized the game

gopman

12/3/23 6:19pm

LaVell *hired* someone to implement and run the passing attack.

Polecat

12/3/23 6:30pm

Yeah. Doug Scovil should get the cred for BYU’s offense.

Mathew

12/3/23 6:32pm

LaVell still knew his X's & O's. There were reports LaVell would meet with

gopman

12/3/23 6:44pm

I guarantee Kalani does too. He's been a coordinator for a serious defense. H

Polecat

12/3/23 6:50pm

Of course he did. He had front row seats to watch Scovil work his magic in a

Mathew

12/3/23 7:00pm

That is not even close to being true!

MadHawaiian

12/3/23 7:34pm

I concur with you. It's aggravating that Kalani is more of a "figurehead"

gopman

12/3/23 6:16pm

Yeah, it's terrible for a head coach to realize he has a weakness and try to fix

Stucoug83

I don’t have a problem that someone was wanted for a larger position, and

cougaman

12/3/23 7:39pm

We can only expect a head coach to stay long term

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

12/3/23 7:56pm

This. When the o-line starts performing well will he be out the door?

DazeofBlue

12/3/23 8:00pm

If he gets offered another P5 OC position, do you expect him to stay?

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

12/3/23 8:03pm

Yeah, that would suck, I prefer to have coaches that don’t have success.

cougaman

12/3/23 8:05pm

I understand but if he is just a revolving door how does that help us?

DazeofBlue

12/3/23 8:14pm

Ok problem solved: hire a sucky coach, nobody else will offer him

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

12/3/23 9:11pm

Or you can write a contract that gives him reason to stay
