Sounds like a BYU influenced site. He got cut twice. Why?

This is what matters most. Needing a much better offensive line drove Empey out of coaching for some reason even at the risk of losing his son. His lineman were big bellied guys and I think the trend was turning to taller big “dudes” with muscle and not pork bellies. Seemed like Bronco and Anae were looking for lighter more mobile kids. Kalani wants beasts who can also run.

Hatch with a good starter list of potential OL coaches

Coop

Does the OL job have an LDS requirement like the head coach?

We know Sitake and Grimes "won't limit themselves like that"

Coop

1/14/19 9:21am

I want whomever Grimes wants as OL coach.

We assume that many people don't want the BYU job, so at least if they are LDS

Pugh and Grimes have both been OL coaches at BYU and neither is LDS.

1/14/19 9:21am

Given Grimes is not a member, I doubt the OLine has to be if OC doesn't

Unless the BoT wants to hit him above & below - LDS chop block.

Q-grr

Given that neither Grimes nor Pugh are LDS there is clearly no requirement.

I hope for Grimes' sake that it doesn't.

Past OL coaches like Grimes, Weber, and Roger French weren’t

Sumguy

1/14/19 10:13am

I thought Roger "pardon my" French was LDS. No?

His funeral services were at a Lutheran church, so it doesn't appear so.

displacedute

1/14/19 2:43pm

Doesn't exactly mean he wasn't a member

qom

1/14/19 2:57pm

He was in MN when he died. It's not a guarantee, just evidence.

displacedute

1/14/19 3:03pm

Hmmmm, didn't know that. Interesting. See what assumptions get ya?

qom

No

No

Only when BYU is being cheap. If they're paying market wages then everyone

Ash

No, only Head Coach. Although Pres. Nelson has been known to shake things up

stevebyu8

1/14/19 12:43pm

So, we're certain that he's not nor ever will be, right?

qom

Hopefully RMN has his eye on the hardware

247 guys have put out a much more intriguing list of candidates.

TPcoug

1/14/19 9:23am

Advertise for 247 much?

BlueTroop

1/14/19 9:40am

Haha I just think it's awesome and they have some great info for BYU fans

TPcoug

1/14/19 9:44am

I wouldn't mind seeing them bring Empey back.

Adrielle

1/14/19 9:24am

He was a good game coach, but doesn't have the desire to be a college coach.

molodyets

1/14/19 9:25am

I have to agree. If BYU wants to be a top program, you have to bring in coaches

mudpupper

1/14/19 9:36am

Would like to see a young guy with some energy, drive to move up the ladder and

kotacoug

1/14/19 9:37am

No to Reynolds and No to Empey...

Coug

1/14/19 9:32am

Amen

idacoug

1/14/19 9:32am

Would like to see Reynolds cut his teeth as an OL coach at another G5 level

kotacoug

1/14/19 9:38am

Experience as the OL coach would be good; experience outside the "BYU bubble"...

Coop

1/14/19 9:42am

Disagree. Guys that have seen multiple programs and systems and aren’t

kotacoug

1/14/19 10:34am

That's just as likely to create bad habits as good ones

Coop

1/14/19 10:43am

Why would you say no to Dallas without knowing what caliber of coach he is?

CaliWG

1/14/19 9:40am

If you ever listen to Riley Jensen on the radio, he talks about being at

Eddie

1/14/19 10:05am

That's how it was supposed to work out with Reno.

BGRTHNUMEGO

1/14/19 10:11am

And Kalani

CaliWG

1/14/19 10:11am

Good P5 programs can afford to get position coaches who are great recruiters...

Coop

1/14/19 10:18am

That analogy goes both ways. Kids play for coaches regardless of job title

qom

1/14/19 2:36pm

Amen. Bring in guys who have done it. That's what Pugh brought. No reason to

Ash

1/14/19 11:03am

Pugh actually didn’t have much coaching experience

Seasider

1/14/19 12:15pm

But he said Pugh was a mini me

qom

1/14/19 2:39pm

“For Once?” Hyperbole much?

Katewot

1/14/19 5:15pm

Wasn't empey the one that recruited all of our current line, and wasn't he twice

Stucoug83

1/14/19 5:20pm

I don’t think so. There was some scuttlebutt about his coaching.

jpal1397

1/14/19 6:40pm

This is what I found

Stucoug83

1/14/19 8:36pm

Sounds like a BYU influenced site. He got cut twice. Why?

jpal1397

1/14/19 8:48pm

Those are real awards, just compiled by a byu fan page. I think Grimes will make

Stucoug83

1/14/19 8:52pm

It's not a necessity for Reynolds to go get a bunch of experience first when

1/14/19 6:40pm

I hope it isn't either one of the BYU grads. Empey nor Reynolds.

jpal1397

1/14/19 10:18am

Why does he need experience outside of the BYU way?

ochobeeguy

1/14/19 12:20pm

Because BYU doesn’t put offensive lineman in the NFL!

jpal1397

1/14/19 2:50pm

I hope he's a carbon copy Grimey. That's what Pugh was. That's the litmus test

qom

1/14/19 2:42pm

Well..oir oline wasnt that good was it?

1/14/19 2:45pm

What? Are you dr.... seriously, I don't understand your question

qom

1/14/19 2:54pm

Pugh didnt do anything special with our line so maybe we dont want that.

1/14/19 2:59pm

That's your opinion. You're allowed to have it

qom

1/14/19 3:13pm

Our OLine was horrid in most games we lost! Remember?

jpal1397

1/14/19 6:45pm

Hey, you're at Clemson, right?

qom

1/14/19 3:15pm

Weird. Now you're back to Carolinacoug

qom

1/14/19 5:24pm

I'd vote for Rick Mallory. He was in our ward years ago when he coached for UW. Great guy

Zenoch

1/14/19 12:47pm

I could get on board with Lance Reynolds Jr. He has years of coaching experience

Iron Coug

1/14/19 3:45pm

Grimes will pick his own guy. As he should. Grimes is probably a top 5 OL coach

jkccoug

1/14/19 5:57pm

My vote is either Empey or Reynolds. I'd actually go with Reynolds.
