Dick Harmon alluded that the fiasco with Detmer woke some of the BYU higher ups.

Basically they're realizing what running a successful D1 football program requires and are finally opening the checkbook. Harmon stated $500,000 wouldn't be out of the question for this OC hire. And going forward they're expanding the coaching budget substantially.

Something doesn't seem right about the Grimes hire...

i bet he makes the same or more

Really? Any idea what Ty was making?

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

12/14/17 9:16am

People have suggested $400K

12/14/17 9:17am

More than that

What if i told you the coaches circle has deep pockets and wants us to return to glory

12/14/17 9:16am

I would laugh....and say, "uh, no this is BYU"

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

12/14/17 9:17am

I would laugh and say, “So we’re keeping most of the 4-9 staff? Cool.”

12/14/17 9:19am

I understand your point, but we just saw how limited we were

Y05

12/14/17 1:01pm

I’m speaking more to the fact that 4-9 goes way beyond one coordinator.

and there are a lot of wealthy donors who can pay the going rate...

What do you know about the S&C guy. I am not sure if more injuries

well, you can't pony up $10 to donate to CB so I think calling BS

I've always wondered if there is a cap put on salaries regardless of donations.

Ash

12/14/17 10:25am

I've wondered the same thing...I know Grimes turned down BYU's offer

truecougster

12/14/17 10:50am

Which part is speculation then? You DO KNOW Grimes turned them down last week?

fulano

12/14/17 11:51am

Somehow I doubt Sitake would approve of such an arrangement

cougarnw

12/14/17 9:16am

He wants to be an OC.

Eddie

12/14/17 9:16am

Are you saying he has committed to be Baptised soon?

ol' Blue Eyes

12/14/17 9:16am

He can't be the heir to the throne. Not LDS.

mudpupper

12/14/17 9:16am

Yeah...I overlooked that...sorry...scratch heir to the throne or baptize him

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

12/14/17 9:18am

Yeah, cause that's the only reason the original post it dumb

fulano

12/14/17 11:54am

No. He has hopped from place to place trying to work his way up the ladder.

Y05

12/14/17 9:17am

This.

12/14/17 10:41am

This is right. So whoever else is on the staff, somebody is probably promised

Lance71

12/14/17 12:05pm

How do you know that there is “no way?” Also Grimes isn’t LDS so...

Lolo

12/14/17 9:17am

I don't know...I'm just shocked if true...it's not the LDS way

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

12/14/17 9:18am

I am not so sure that there are many who truly know the LDS way of finances.

Lolo

12/14/17 9:24am

He wants a coordinator position. Makes sense...

Alister Mackenzie

oh. They CAN pay it. WILL or WOULD they pay it is the question.

Why would Kalani hire his replacement?

Two scenarios:

I thought Kalani made $2MIL?

12/14/17 9:17am

I think it is 6 mil

12/14/17 9:21am

Scratch FOIA'd it and found that it was 15.8 million. Fact.

LiveCoug

12/14/17 9:27am

My bad I missed the 1 in front of the 6, so 16 mil. Same page

12/14/17 9:32am

No way it’s any less than $22.5 million

maxpowers

12/14/17 9:36am

$225M seems a bit low...

Scoops only apply to the creamery endorsement

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

I hope that's true

Saxa

12/14/17 9:51am

Dang. Looks like Detmer was the sacrificial lamb in more ways than one

Bob Vance

12/14/17 6:04pm

Maybe Kalani is taking a pay cut to get him here

IDAHO 4 Y

12/14/17 9:18am

He should. It would be a smart financial move for him.

mudpupper

12/14/17 9:20am

That thought did cross my mind.

ByuMba90

12/14/17 9:21am

They gave him something comparable and a promotion. If Grimes wants to be a

RalphWiggam

12/14/17 9:18am

Not saying this happened, but I'll bet he would've come for slightly less pay

RdF3

12/14/17 9:21am

There's no need to make up elaborate theories here. It's called forward thinking

12/14/17 9:30am

He probably got a raise.

You commit to a certain CC level (Legacy II?), and part (all?) of those proceeds

I'm actually both, so they can't be different levels; but is more of an add-on.

The coaches circle is being build the same way BYU builds buildings.

BYU ponied up a surprising amount of money from what I’m told.

He is absolutely making more the 600k. He did not take a pay cut to come here
