Fire Grimes Thread
Re: Fire Grimes Thread
If this season doesn't get turned around, and I don't think it will, please don't go into next year with Grimes as your OC again. Please.

Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Absolutely not. But I think adjusting the play calling is a better idea than replacing the OC without a plan to replace him with someone better.JKLivin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 10:44 amGranted. But are you saying that, if you can't immediately solve 100% of the problem, you should address 0% of the problem, then?DeletedUser wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 9:33 am Am I reading that wrong or was the guy they got rid of hired at Purdue in 2022?
I feel like that is different than firing someone less than 2 months into their time somewhere.
Will firing the OC make of the offensive line and defensive line better? Play calling is only a portion of the problem.
I think the problems this season are as much on the head coach as they are the offensive coordinator.

Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Agreed. We should, in theory, be able to replace him with someone better this off season.
Why not go offer our former OC head coach type money and bring him back?
Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Because Penn State would do the same and it's a better program.DeletedUser wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 1:32 pmAgreed. We should, in theory, be able to replace him with someone better this off season.

Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Did he take a sub-coordinator assistant with him? That would be re-poachable as our OC?

Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Alright ok so.....we lost AK to Penn State, and he took off before the bowl game. We went out for some reason and hired Grimes. However we actually let Co-OC Jm Zebrowski call the plays for our bowl game ly.
Now our offensive looked the same for the bowl game. We were told Grimes was going to take over play calling but he was supposed keep everything pretty much the same.
So Coach Z is sitting there and has been with LL since Buffalo.
Why LL went with Grimes?? No clue

This article isn't doesn't make me hopeful about Grimes. https://throughthephog.com/posts/jeff-g ... j7wemscgmr
Re: Fire Grimes Thread
It was an uncharacteristic and unneeded reach hiring him. I saw his last season pretty close up at Baylor. Brutal. Predictable play calling.
Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Another week with the same personnel and the same stupid strategies. Dare we hope for a different outcome?

Rainbows I'm sorry you have nothing better to do than to go digging stuff up on a message board.

Meanwhile, we’ll run a bubble screen on 3rd and 9 at least four times in a row tonight. Brilliant.

Grimes may just be jinxed
Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Until Grimey is gone, I am done. This is egregious, and LL’s choice to stand by, shrugging his shoulders, blaming the refs, and offering comfort in the form of “We’re really close to not being garbage” is inexcusable.

Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Can't hang this one on Grimes. Defense has given up 105 pts. in the last 3 games and 313 yds rushing in this one. Time for a fire Borland thread.
Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Yeah except Borland has been this bad since the get go, where you been??? Borland was the WTF coach that came with the Division 3 Wizard that for sure was over his head. This was true day one. Wait to next year when the whole defense is gone. We going to have brand new stadium and for sure no reason to go. You will look back at this season and lament how we were just barely losing games versus the future where we done at half time.
Re: Fire Grimes Thread
At least Grimes showed some improved play calling this week. Same old song and dance from Borland.
Re: Fire Grimes Thread
Borland and the Arkansas game was a tell. We all blamed players. But they did not get meaningful stops
