I suppose someone will have to just keep saying it until it sinks in

Play-calling is overemphasized by fans both in terms of importance and difficulty. It's like 5th in importance on the list of the OCs responsibilities. And play-calling wasn't Detmer's biggest problem, or really a problem at all, not by a long shot.

Was Run game coordinator/assistant HC at Colorado too.many are worried about

SUAVO

But how much of that is wishful thinking, hoping it translates to offensive

He’s been a part of offensive scheming since before some of these players were born.

It's always wishful thinking until it's proven on the field. Even experienced

You have a point . . . to a point.

Brigham

But, Detmer was not fired for that

Elvis

12/14/17 7:03am

Wrong.

Brigham

12/14/17 7:07am

He was fired b/c the OC is 100% responsible for the O, and the O sucked

Lack of execution is what he was fired for. My personal belief is most of this is on Kalani. I guess we’ll see.

Sorry, but none of your excuses for Detmer work. His offense was pathetic

Best byu could get. This guy's a great college coach.

Biggest difference between Grimes and Ty? Sitake's choice.

NWCoug

12/14/17 7:11am

Maybe. Only Kalani can say that and he hasn't said. All the speculation on CB

basman

12/14/17 7:26am

True. Kalani hasn't and won't say anything. His actions speak pretty loudly

NWCoug

12/14/17 8:04am

And Grimes will get to choose his staff instead of being gifted a bunch

Ironhide

That too.

Detmer needs to be in the NFL.

johnnycarson

No matter who we hired there were going to be those on here singing his praises

For being objective and not buying into the hype we’ve already been burned by?

Grimes actually has coaching experience at several good schools. He also is very

mudpupper

I have serious doubts about Ty being an offensive genius after the crap show ive watched the last 2 years. Im excited

monkeycowboy

12/14/17 8:07am

Agree the lack of OC experience leaves room to wonder.

StalwartBraveTrue

12/14/17 8:08am

Ty sounded like he had not kept up on the college game at all

korihor

You can't correlate being a great player with being a great coach.

The fact of the matter is BYU was never going to make a great hire

Indy Coug

Grimes is a great hire

I wish it could be Ty. Long shot...

Refugee

Why is their college playing performance at all relevant to their coaching?

Cougs'16

12/14/17 8:23am

I like the idea of on OC that realizes that the offense hinges on o-line play...

Hawk in the 303

12/14/17 8:32am

Detmer's lack of experience wasn't merely play calling.

Belboz

12/14/17 8:38am

Why I think this is a solid hire. Grimes has the mentality and coaching to at least address fundamental culture
