to go beyond standard salary ranges. This required exceptional
budgetary action, which Holmoe recommended and Worthen approved.

Sitake surely loves the hire, no doubt about it. It takes some of
the pressure off him, for his disastrous 4 and 9 season.

More money was needed, than Sitaki had approval authority for.
Holmoe and Worthen recognized that to get an exceptional
offensive coordinator to deal with so many problems, they
needed to find extra $$$ to meet Grimes' salary demand -
whatever it was.

Higher inexperienced assistant coaches, for dirt cheap,
proved VERY inexpensive.

Holmoe and Worthen both stepped up, to find more $$$.

It surely is Sitake's hire. He needed some added financial
help, to make it happen.
