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

Indy Coug Misunderstood

At least, one that readily appeared to be great. Like with most BYU hires, you just hold your breath (and sometimes your nose), close your eyes and hope for the best.

Let me get this straight & please explain why this hire is wonderful?

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

basman

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

Ulysses14

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

12/14/17 7:58am

That too.

NWCoug

12/14/17 8:04am

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

Coop

Detmer needs to be in the NFL.

johnnycarson

12/14/17 7:22am

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

Oatmeal

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

12/14/17 8:02am

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.

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

Refugee

12/14/17 8:26am

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
