Gotta say, i like this!

BYUheaven

12/13/17 7:36pm

So the question is, can he bring some SEC staff with him to Provo?

MikeDitka'sStache

12/13/17 7:36pm

You mean players?

johnnycarson

12/13/17 7:37pm

How bout both???

Wow. Good find. That's a little more than smoke.

NWCoug

12/13/17 7:37pm

That’s great !!

pspack41

12/13/17 7:37pm

Hmmm, I wonder who will be the QB coach and WR coach

billyrust

12/13/17 7:37pm

probably Roderick WR coach?

Wizbang

12/13/17 7:38pm

Peterson for QB.

immacougar

12/13/17 7:38pm

I would agree with this.

Can you Diggs it?

12/13/17 7:46pm

Choo, choo!

eddog

12/13/17 7:38pm

I bet Paul Peterson is also coming on as QB coach

RdF3

12/13/17 7:38pm

That would be terrific.

RugbyCoug

12/13/17 7:39pm

I hope so. I think QB coach is a really important spot given Grimes is an OL guy

Martin Van Nostrand

12/13/17 7:46pm

How big a leap is it from Line Coach and Running Coord. to play calling?

RugbyCoug

12/13/17 7:39pm

That's what Robert Anae was at Texas Tech

Dynasty1

12/13/17 7:40pm

See Robert Anae

BYUinTX

12/13/17 7:46pm

So we should expect the 91st ranked offense?

CarolinaCoug

12/13/17 8:44pm

Huh? Byus offense was top 35 most years

SlantRoute

12/13/17 10:34pm

ask Lavell Edwards, Robert Anae and Andy Reid

DJROSS

12/13/17 9:19pm

It’s a natural step in a lot of ways. The line calls and blocking scheme dictates a lot and he’d be more involved with

macaroni

12/14/17 12:15am

Like it. He's an outstanding coach.

SoCalCoug

12/13/17 7:39pm

OK, I always liked Grimes. Makes me much more optimistic for some reason.

PJMort

12/13/17 7:39pm

Confirmed on the LSU side too.

JamesWestfall

12/13/17 7:39pm

He is the one coach to come to BYU...

Coug

12/13/17 7:40pm

The only BYU football coach who is similar to

pspack41

12/13/17 7:40pm

I'm really excited about this!

sammycoug

12/13/17 7:41pm

Who knows how he'll be at OC. But I like it just for our o-line alone

Dynasty1

12/13/17 7:41pm

Good bye Emery I guess. Does he coach TE or something now?

Kajdin

12/13/17 7:42pm

Mean Empey? No reason for him to leave as OL coach.

soupie

12/13/17 7:44pm

Yes. . . Just types Emery out of habit

Kajdin

12/13/17 7:47pm

Stays at OL. We get an extra coach in January. Could see him moving to TE as wel

cougaman

12/13/17 7:45pm

The OC almost always also coaches a position (QB is very common, Anae coached

dilbert

12/13/17 7:52pm

We haven't ever had 10 assistant coaches though. Next year will be the first

cougaman

12/13/17 7:55pm

So maybe he doesn't coach a position. The point is that either way, we still

dilbert

12/13/17 8:04pm

I agree. Empey will stay, likely at OL.

cougaman

12/13/17 8:12pm

Will he bring a Matt Canada type of offense to BYU?

Redfiretruck

12/13/17 7:43pm

He has been my #1 choice of the realistic candidates.

GOR

12/13/17 7:43pm

Same here. Really happy.

cougaman

12/13/17 7:44pm

RE: Bang

cougaman

12/13/17 7:43pm

They offered him another raise to keep him

Can you Diggs it?

12/13/17 7:46pm

Where are you seeing this?

HoustonCougar

RoyalCoug99

12/13/17 7:47pm

Beat me to it.

Can you Diggs it?

12/13/17 7:49pm

Thanks y'all

HoustonCougar

12/13/17 7:50pm

Love this hire, upgrade. Grimes has 10+ years of big time CFB experience.

pinolero

12/13/17 7:49pm

But zero play calling experience.

RugbyCoug

12/13/17 8:09pm

Which USB’s why Paul Peterson could be an awesome assistant to as well

MikeDitka'sStache

12/13/17 8:10pm

I would very much like Paul Peterson on staff.

RugbyCoug

12/13/17 8:14pm

It won't be worse than it was. Play calling isn't nearly as important as

pinolero

12/13/17 8:14pm

Was Grimes run game coordinator at LSU? Honest question.

ldssdl

12/13/17 8:15pm

Yes

JamesWestfall

12/13/17 8:17pm

Yesssssss!

Yoopercoug

12/13/17 8:11pm

Loved Grimes when he was here last time. Hope

doups3

12/13/17 8:23pm

I still think Detmer got screwed. Big time.

BleedCougarBlue2

12/13/17 8:28pm

This was my #1 Reality pick... ok guys I'm excited again 🙂

Pretorian

12/13/17 8:28pm

Wouldn't calling plays in HS be better preparation than simply coaching O-lines?

Hill4Heisman

12/13/17 8:38pm

Uh errr ummm

Redfiretruck

12/13/17 9:00pm

LOL, we really need a smh icon on this site. Plz EJ!

Ash

12/13/17 9:22pm

Not likely a great playcaller, good at fundamentals, solid pick, not sexy

keylimesoda

12/13/17 9:02pm

Pretty bad A way to ring in the new coach: "Bang"

Y4LYFE

12/13/17 9:08pm

When will they announce all of the entire offensive staff is gone? Soon?

Y4LYFE

12/13/17 9:09pm

If so, I hope he's a no nonsense high discipline/accountability coach.

blackshirts

12/13/17 9:12pm

Umm remember his last stint here?

Kajdin

12/13/17 9:15pm

Byu needs to start having dominant lines again. This will help

BYU '80

12/13/17 9:25pm

This is AWESOME NEWS!!!!!

tarmstrong

12/13/17 9:30pm

Nice! like what I have read about Grimes, he seems hungry to prove

CougarsFanSince80s

12/13/17 9:39pm

Hungry or Hungary?

Kama'aina

12/13/17 9:41pm

fixed..hungry would be the way to put it

CougarsFanSince80s

12/13/17 9:46pm

This is vindication for Sitake. He hit a home run.

mm73

12/13/17 9:54pm

No. No. Ten thousand times, no. Vindication comes on the field. Not in the

Seaward

12/13/17 10:14pm

Please. This is a great hire and Kalani deserves credit for making it happen.

mm73

12/13/17 10:18pm

Pretty hard not to improve on the field

Josef K

12/13/17 10:19pm

SWEET!

12/13/17 10:21pm

This guy actually called it...does someone actually have legit sources?

Machiavelli

12/14/17 12:07am

LSU has confirmed and already replaced him. Chad Lewis welcomed him to BYU and several other media outlets.

soupie

12/14/17 9:03am

He's saying that poster said it was Grimes before the Twitter reports and Lewis

Martin Van Nostrand

12/14/17 9:07am
