The run game is certainly the weakness. Why is that?

runnincoug Intervention Needed

They lost at least two offensive linemen, and were playing their 5th string RB. So yes, the run game was not good, which limited the kinds of plays ARod could dial up.

Sounds like Jeff Grimes is getting his play calling stripped from

wildlandfireguy

7:49am

Id have him back here as OC in an instant

UnoDoctor

7:50am

Terrible take. Arod is significantly better than Grimes

BlueOptimist

7:51am

Both are terrible

Kale

Arod had to take over much of the play calling duties when Grimes was here

TempeCoug

Last year would have loved him w/ Oline but we’re fine now.

Arod almost cost us the SMU game and Baylor game.

UnoDoctor

7:56am

But calling for Jeff Grimes to come back as OC is idiotic.

wildlandfireguy

7:57am

Im not saying that is my preferred candidate

UnoDoctor

7:59am

Sorry just an uninformed take about Grimes.

TempeCoug

Maybe

A couple of comments..

You are fed up with Arod because offense only scored 34 against Baylor?

viper

I'm convinced there is no OC that will satisfy any fan base.

Not even Norm Chow...

Is Neil related to Doug?

Got it--corrected.

SMU, maybe, but 34 points is plenty to win most games

I didn't see ARod throwing interception, did you?

CLCougar

10:07am

Almost? It didn’t happen. BYU is 5-0. Look, I have my complaints about Kalani

Some posters on here don’t understand that a bad B12 team isn’t a bad MWC team

How do you know that?

He has been so much worse than A-rod. Kansas' offense has regressed greatly

wildlandfireguy

7:52am

People are never happy. AROD isn't perfect but come on.

Cougar TD

7:52am

Agreed. I am not a fan of ARod but Grimes would be worse.

It's amazing how satisfied some of you are with average to below average coaches

byubyu

7:52am

Im not

UnoDoctor

7:53am

You want someone else besides Arod fine but suggesting Grimes is woefully

TempeCoug

8:00am

Which of BYU’s average to below average coaches got us to 5-0?

Abe Froman

7:59am

Not recently demoted soon fired Grimes. But apparently some still want him back

byubyu

sheesh the Arod hate is insane. Arod's not all-conference, but he's solid

runnincoug

Be careful what you wish for

No, Arod's not "solid." When three times in a row, you throw an incomplete

Lol. The same Grimes that had his playcalling duties stripped from him while he was at BYU?

Grimes is not a good play caller or game manager. Good line coach.

yapacoug

8:27am

Eh. I'm not a huge fan of ARod, but Grimes is a good OL coach, but not an OC

russkiejedi

Are you taking crazy pills? Jeff Grimes offense was so boring.

BulldogCoug79

8:32am

Pasture isn’t always greener Grimey, don’t want him back

DreamerCoug

8:55am

Seemed like the combination of Grimes and Arod had pretty good results.

CougarBreath

10:51am

Absolutely abysmal take. He’s lost play calling duties everywhere—including here

Mjolnir

10:58am

His overall record as an OC is not good.

VenomFarmer

1:31pm

O Line Coach ya but we all ready have good one.

kahuna

2:25pm

No way. He's an elite OL coach. I don't think he has the sense for OC.

Bob Vance

2:41pm

That's what happened at BYU too.

kccougar

7:58am

Yep. Sounds like he will be fired at the end on this season.

Because of your board name, I believe your prognostication

I think he could be a good head coach for a lower level program. I don’t think

cougaman

8:15am

I don't think he will get a chance either.

wildlandfireguy

8:21am

Always talking about the Utes!

Plantagenet

He’s getting old and should take an analyst position at BYU like GA and Chad K

I think you can be a good OC and a bad play caller. You just need to recognize

Cougs or die

Grimes has had a number of chances and hit his ceiling

Heath Squashwell

No matter who our OC is CB will call for his head and want someone else

icecougar

Great guy. Bad OC. Peter Principle in action. He’s an oline coach, maybe a run
