re: LSU Offers VA Tech's Grimes as OL Coach

Yall do realize we already had the highest paid OL coach in the country with Stud right?


He made over 2X as much as Grimes did at VT


Grimes = 235k

Stud = 500k

Grimes, or whomever we hire, will cost less than Stud but still get a nice raise

thank you. was coming here to point this out. Just the improvement in recruiting is worth the difference probably.

And I'm sure Cam and what he needs from a coach was a factor. Maybe Grimes has had experience in such a style of offense and that tipped the scales.

I get it, but if Cam and Les OK'd Mawae I'd be cool with it. If Mawae doesn't get the job maybe they felt he was too green as well

since Mawae consulted much of the 2013 season they had a good look at him. And I do remember him saying (tweet? interview? can't remember where) that he wasn't so sure about the CFB coaches lifestyle with his kids at the age they were.
