As a coach, I disagree. The point I am making is I don't know if Grimes is a good hire yet or not, and neither does anyone else until he actually runs an offense, which he has yet to do at the D1 level.

as a coach. lol. get outta here.

I believe that Surfah understood your point. A valid point. That does not invalidate his point. Also a valid point. So...

tooblue: 1
Surfah: 1

Pissing match ends in a draw. Now on to cautious optimism!

At any level.

Is this the end of a pass happy offense in Provo. Get big lineman, a big back like Tolutau and just try and grind it out. Boring but winning football.

There's a good chance we are hosed next year no matter what anyone does. With that said I believe we will rise at least to the level of being mediocre. We have some skill guys that gained experience and hopefully we will have better luck with injuries. Kalani needs to do his part to clean up the program culture. I think Grimes will help with that.

Nowhere to go but up. I think (hope) we were at the bottom this year.

Yeah but if UMass stacks the box again next year we are hosed!

Go read Smart Football on play calling.

You should pick up Football For Dummies. I hear it's done wonders for JL.

The hire is good but those who wanted someone with OC experience have a gripe.

Completely disagree with Surfah. The OC has a lot of responsibility in other areas but he also needs the ability to call decent plays and adjust to the defensive scheme. Being a good playcaller is not easy.

I recommend you avoid following @snowsurfah on Twitter during games. That guy is brutal on the playcalling.

Super mean! This is why I stopped posting on the board!

I am displeased by this hire. I am mainly disappointed as BYU has clearly made the decision to increase coaches salaries with this hire.

Play calling is the most overrated aspect of coaching.

He must hope this is his chance to step up to being a HC sometime. Without OC or DC experience I don't think a coach will ever get that top job and he must have felt like he was stuck a OL coach at LSU. I'm curious what they offered, would he have taken a cut in pay for the opportunity to be the OC.

I just read some article that said BYU wanted Grimes 2 years ago but LSU countered with a contract extension and a raise. I read that they also did the same this time, but he's set on being an OC. Good for him! I hope he kicks enough ass that his name does get floated for HC jobs.

*edit-- I guess I saw it on Twitter from an LSU beat reporter.
