Wasn't there a bunch of stuff with the Pau'u's last year or something too?
Upset parents. Lots of blaming of coaches and players... talk of transferring... Seems familiar.

It was the right move. He's not as good of a passer as other QB's.
SoValleyCOUG
8/15/18 11:30am
Not sure about that. But certainly his longevity is a fair point
Bob Vance

And that could be what Merrill is upset about. Concussion are what caused Merril

Merrill should know better. This won't help his son at all. He's gonna look like LaVar Ball.

He's just an upset parent, no big deal. Plus our coaching staff

Yeah no reason to trust Grimes or Arod after their abysmal performance last year

So they deserve blind trust? Seems dumb.
Sid Vicious

No. Seems dumb to give weight to a parent with an axe to grind.

Blind trust, no. Benefit of the doubt, sure.

Everyone thought it was odd that Beau was moved to RB.

Yeah - this is in the realm of "best 12 players on the field."

Hopefully it's not as a 12th man on the field or we'd get a penalty.
IdahoCoug

You have to be sneaky to make it work...
Eddie

The only reservation I've had is moving a QB with concussion history to RB position. I was surprised.
Grit for Brains
8/15/18 10:27am
the hits are different. Generally less likely as a RB to get a concussion.
molodyets
8/15/18 10:29am
His weren't blind hits though.
Dillinger
8/15/18 10:30am
The last concussion wasn't even a hard tackle either.
ReggaeCoug
8/15/18 10:38am
That's because he was put back in too early from the prior concussion

Unless my son WANTED to move to another position, I'd be PO'd, too.

The only thing that bothers me is it seems like no one communicated with Beau

If this communication didn't happen I'd lose some respect for Grimes
CaliWG

Beau said in an interview that he had been keeping it secret for a long time.
BlueBeliever
8/15/18 11:06am
Easy to keep a secret if you don't know the secret.
Jurisprudence
8/15/18 11:10am
Why would he be covering for the coaches?
BlueBeliever
8/15/18 11:30am
Fair points, but Beau wants to play, even if it's at RB.
Jurisprudence
8/15/18 11:35am
If you want to play covering for your coach works better than complaining

Maybe he was worried about disappointing his dad or dealing with his father's

That would be weird, if true.

You have the right to disagree or be upset. But you don’t air the dirty laundry publicly. It makes you

We are thin at RB and we have too many QBs so it seems like we needed to do it

Coug
8/15/18 10:29am
Some of it may be due in part to having respected coaches

Doesn't sound like it. Sounds like the staff was wishy-washy and then didn't really give him a chance this year.
