I'm not sure he's a great coordinator but
He was a wizard for o-lines. I'm very concerned about our o-line.

How much of a difference will we see without Grimes this year?

I think the bigger change is going to be the schedule. We may not even notice he’s gone if things go poorly

IMO, Grimes is a big loss, but Roderick is a better play caller.

You’re right, but his replacement has over 30 years coaching experience

With the OL.. There won't be a huge difference this year..

What 4 starters? Outside of Empey aren't the other 4 projected starters sophs?

most are older

Gotcha. I hadn't considered they're listed as soph because '20 didn't count

That's more than unlikely. Improbable. Impossible. Nada.

Don't know if this was Grimes, or just the general Kalani philosophy but...

That was Grimes.. He ran the OL.

I wish we had gotten Pugh. He was an up and comer. Hopefully Funk works out.

And we're losing a TON of talent on the o-line. I think we'll see lower

Losing Christensen and two others will degrade the talent somewhat.

Hoge was MIA for half the season, so I don't see the drop off as being fatal.

I think grimes is a huge loss. That’s my biggest concern if the season.

I think he's a loss, but 'huge' is a little bit much.

I disagree. I think grimes is on a different level.

At least the most important position on the OL is a returning 2 year starter.

I think it will be significant. Grimes built a culture. TBD if anyone steps up

Yes. It felt like The culture before he came was weak in accountability. And

A drop in OLine performance is what worries me most.

I think he's a big loss. Probably more HC material than Kalani.

A smarter/more accurate comment: "Grimes has the qualities of a good HC".

Cultures are much easier to lose than to build, esp. considering player turnover

I've heard the same thing. Grimes brought a lot of discipline that was missing.
