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

last week. I think that opened the eyes of many above Tom and may have caused them to realize they needed to "raise the ceiling" on not only BYU's portion of coaches pay but contributions from coaches circle too. Speculation on my part. Whatever the reason, BYU's willingness to change is the biggest news of the Grimes hire.

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.”

ataylor

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.

ataylor

12/14/17 1:09pm

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

Thrill

12/14/17 11:20am

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.

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.

runningfoo

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

12/14/17 9:17am

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

Why would Kalani hire his replacement?

Two scenarios:

HighHorse

12/14/17 9:17am

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...

I want the inside scoop on the incentives.

Y05

12/14/17 5:32pm

Scoops only apply to the creamery endorsement

12/14/17 5:45pm

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

Kajdin

12/14/17 9:18am

Harmon got one right...hmmm...even more shocking

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

12/14/17 9:20am

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.

BigYfan

To this day, posts like this and multiple responses make me think that many here

First time I heard of that...I guess I need to read more CB..Thanks for the info

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

12/14/17 9:49am

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

RebelScum

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.

As Coach Chow says there are only 130 OC jobs. Could parlay this to a bigger

It's a move up the coaching ladder for him with similar pay.

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

kosmokramer

Maybe they promised him free all-you-can-eat cougar tails and Bam Bams

We need you to post more often if you are who I think you are.
