Offensive Coaching staff

Hey everyone, I am new to the board and was just wondering if anyone has heard any rumors about the new coaching staff??? I have been looking all over and have seen nothing for quite some time. Just looking to spark some excitement for 2018!!! :) 8)

No word except for who people would like to see. I heard one rumor today of Gary Crowton as QB coach. That came from a LSU booster I believe.

Yeah I heard that too. It was from an LSU booster? Maybe there is some traction to that after all. I hope it gets announced soon. I am anxious to see what staff that Grimes can put together.

I am expecting this to get wrapped up the first week of January after the holidays and most bowl games are done.

That would make sense to me. Once Grimes is officially in Provo is when I think we will start getting official word. Although, Mahe just tweeted that he is gone so maybe it will be sooner than we expect?

I suspect Grimes has his hands full preparing for Notre Dame in the Citrus Bowl, Jan. 1st. I would think announcements would come 7-10 days after that. I'm sure phone call and emails have been made to possible prospects. Grimes is a dedicated and focused guy.

I think I'd prefer Ty over Gary at QB coach. But no one is paying me money to make that decision.

Reno Mahe is out.

Really excited about Pugh, Sitake and yes, even Roderick. Got some experience that was deeply needed on this staff. Excited to see if this translates to wins in the long run.

Here's my question: When Ty was relieved of OC coaching duties, BYU specifically stated that he was still under contract and that it would be honored (or something to that effect), so, does anyone know what is going on for Ty?



I wish him great success and happiness! What a classy guy ... I'm really disappointed that it didn't work out for him.

He is going to be bought out of his contract. That is how things usually go in this case.

I would like BYU to bring Detmer into the AD office similar to Robbie Bosco's role. Detmer has a nack for soft people skills. He could work well with boosters.

Who do you all think gets the 10th assistant spot? My guesses are either Paul Peterson or David Fifita, former ute d-lineman who currently is the d-line coach at Idaho State.

Ganther at RBs, I've heard.

I wouldn't mind that at all. Weber's backs were impressive this year. We need a solid RB's coach so that leaves Fesi or A-Rod with QB's or WR's

Fesi said on the radio last night that he'd be working with WR.



I'd have rather had ARod with the WR, but we'll see how he does with QBs.

I'd rather have him with Utah - but we can hope for the best right?

Oh yes, I listened to that interview last night. I really like Fesi with the receivers. that is where he can be most effective IMO. I am a little nervous about A-Rod with our QB's though. Hopefully that works out well. I am cautiously optimistic right now as well.

Just read the Dick Harmon article and it basically announced that A-Rod is the QB's coach. So as of now the Offensive coaching staff is:

OC: Grimes

PGC/QB: A-Rod

WR: Fesi

TE: Clark

OL: Pugh

RB: ?

I don't know if this means that the 10th assistant will be RB's coach or if Grimes will be with RB's and the 10th assistant will be with the Defense? This makes January 9th all the more interesting...

So BYU got rid of Detmer (assuming he would have been qb coach) for a-rod? I'd have given Detmer a year with the qbs. If be did awesome keep him. If he was terrible call a-rod.
