It'll be interesting to see how the coaching staff responds to Grimes. He is

Lamb is very similar

YIsForBrigham

12/16/17 10:50am

I agree. Which will be even more intersting. Lamb is an alpha male from SUU.

I think both guys are personable & work well w others though.

Lamb and Detmer butted heads a lot, which lead to a lot of problems

Graig Swame

Detmer was obviously a mistake. But his autonomy appeared to

Agreed

Disagree. Detmer was not a mistake. Low athletic abilities, injuries, a lack

You keep goin on with that line sir, if it suits ya. The incompetence

So we should have hired as OC people like you who apparently could have ...

BleedCougarBlue2

12/16/17 2:14pm

Might as well have, yes. I sure woulda been a lot cheaper & easier to fire.

mantis mutu

OK, gotta admit, that was funny!

BleedCougarBlue2

Isn’t Lamb a Defensive Coach?

BlueTroop

12/16/17 2:17pm

Yes, it wouldn't have been ideal, but considering where we were at...

mantis mutu

12/16/17 2:42pm

You would want someone with no offensive experience vs someone with lots?

BlueTroop

12/16/17 6:49pm

To avoid the utter humiliation of losing to the likes of UMass at home??? You

No way. We needed new, outside, non LDS, NON BYU blood.

I meant in the course of the season. As a temp fix. So we could at least

I'd like to see Kalani try and throw him under the bus.

mudpupper

12/16/17 10:52am

Good point! If the offense doesn’t improve then blame will be placed on Kalani.

Reasonable1

12/16/17 10:56am

Why do people still bust on Sitake for throwing Ty under the bus?

OpusX

12/16/17 12:14pm

Because it wasn't classy, especially the way he did it.

And largely overblown here on CB like most things and taken on a life of it's

basman

12/16/17 1:00pm

Because he did...and then fired him

BlueTroop

12/16/17 12:49pm

Because Kalani acted like KWhitt and I hate it when KWhitt does it

Coogar2

12/16/17 2:28pm

For me, it was the double standard

cajuncoug

12/16/17 7:22pm

Man I hate this worthless echo chamber nonsense...

Bluedarts

12/16/17 4:01pm

Two things can be true at the same time...

Adrielle

12/16/17 4:13pm

Sounds like be could have a run in with a laid back staff

jrifkin48

12/16/17 10:54am

The offense isn't going to be laid back with him

Nat Gas Man

12/16/17 10:57am

Might be good for us

Cashmeousside

12/16/17 10:58am

A lack of balance in personalities of coaches is what got us in this situation.

Reasonable1

12/16/17 11:01am

I get the impression that the position coaches might be a higher level than we

Nat Gas Man

12/16/17 10:55am

I really hope you're right.

blackandblue

12/16/17 10:57am

Is he bringing anyone with him

Cougarealist

12/16/17 10:56am

Sounds like they haven't made any decisions. I hope so though.

blackandblue

12/16/17 10:57am

Steal from the best, invent the rest

Nat Gas Man

12/16/17 11:01am

Those that still have jobs.

Everyman

12/16/17 11:16am

Most coaches are. It won't be a new situation for any of them.

that's true. but that's also part of the point of my post. He has

blackandblue

12/16/17 11:22am

I'm guessing he's replacing all or most of the offensive coaches so, i'm guessing they'll be ok with him.

SpiffCoug

12/16/17 11:26am

Of course he's going to take direction from Kalani...

BYUFootballRocks1

12/16/17 11:32am

Well, he's the type of guy that Kalani can just turn it all over to.

zonacougar

12/16/17 11:52am

How will we know how they react if we're not on the staff ourselves?

Brisco

12/16/17 1:24pm

Well, since he will pick his own staff, I am sure that expectation will be

He took direction from everyone his entire career. Never been a coordinator of an entire side of the ball, so had to

I’m not insinuating that he won’t be a team player at all.

OC needs to be an alpha male. Anae was. Grimes is no-nonsense. Needed!
