Houston chiming in (via Criddle)

Other than having no coaching experience, Dallas checks every other box.

Pugh only had one year of coaching, besides being ga

That’s one more than Dallas. And Pugh was on a lot of impressive staffs.

Pugh was a GA at auburn, VA tech, cinci, and LSU and then had two years OL

I highly doubt his coaching ability is a concern. And it's not something

Lip Gallagher

Yeah, because it really is like he has no experience or understanding. (SMH...)

I wish family members would stay out of the process and let it play out.

It’s a good way to build resentment if someone doesn’t get the job

BYU sure has always had a lot of whiny, entitled ex-players. I'm sure it's fairly common but BYU players sure are

Houston was a missionary when I lived in Germany

He was also a missionary when I lived in Orem

The Reynolds are a solid clan. Some of the best. But they’re being bias here.

How ‘bout bringing dad back for a season or 2 as a coaching mentor for his son?

tjngirlz

Please no

The dramatics at the end are stupid but he does make good points and I would be very happy with Reynolds as OL coach.

What makes you think he would be great at it?

gwill

1/16/19 7:55pm

He has a lot to sell and he can back up the talk with everything the kids actually want. Plus he’s a great guy and e

Uhhh.....because he did it. You can't teach what you've never done. He did it.

BleedCougarBlue2

As others have said, just because he has done it does not mean he can coach

Houston, Dallas, surprised there isn't a brother named Austin

He totally discounts the accomplishments and talent of others due to familial

Have Galveston or El Paso chimed in?

D’oh New Mexi beat me to it!!

No but their sister Abilene would if she had Twitter 🙂

I'm told we'll hear from Amarillo by morning.

There is no doubt Coach Grimes is fully familiar with Dallas

kccougar

Yes, the social media blitz feels like they're trying

whirl

I had my doubts until I read that he was the assistant coach at PG high school

BYUheaven

1/16/19 7:26pm

Nearly all his experience is player experience rather than coaching experience

Dr T-bone

1/16/19 7:36pm

Exactly... It is a resume with no experience

BYUheaven

1/16/19 7:38pm

Yep, no experience. Except for starting 50 games at BYU, being a freshman...

I am not saying he was a bad player or will not be a good coach. I just

BYUheaven

I agree.

SlantRoute

I thought he wanted to coach, not play again.

gwill

The point that they’ve made about BYU not valuing its own until they leave is nonsense though

YIsForBrigham

1/16/19 8:17pm

Yes, I think more of the problem is with former players that get offended when

This is a dumb post by him.

Question is do we want Dallas cutting his teeth on our BYU lineman?

jpal1397

1/16/19 8:43pm

Exactly. Best sales reps don’t always make the best sales managers.

SlantRoute

1/16/19 8:59pm

Many of the best coaches were not gifted players! They worked hard to play.

If I was Dallas, I'd be telling Houston, "Thanks, but shut up!"

this is seriously beyond lame and if I were Kalani or Grimes
