Did I say that??
Im sorry, but you cant step into a job like this with zero experience. It had nothing to do with whether or not I think hed be a good coach. You cant learn on the job at LSU. He could have been a GA for a couple of seasons if he really wanted to get into coaching.

I dont blame CLM for not hiring a guy that has never been a coach. Im sure KW wouldve been great, but if he'd stunk it up (like Grimes now), LM would be crucified for taking that kind of risk at a very important position.
At least Grimes has tape to watch that shows he's been fairly successful. Albeit, not here.

I think the issue Miles had is that he's never coached or recruited before.

Apples and Oranges.
Blackwell is a bitter ex player. KM isnt saying anything ground breaking. No one is saying the Oline this year hasnt been a disappointment.

The OL was never this bad under Studrawa, which is something I never thought I'd say.

Can we bring him on as a consultant. I think the issue Miles had is that he's never coached or recruited before. We needed a strong recruiter in that spot. I'm not saying KM can't, he just has no exp.
We ought to make him a GA for a year or two. If he's really committed to becoming a college coach that's what he should do. He'd have a full-time job at a major university within 24 months.
I'm also pretty sure that Coach Grimes was "disappointed" in the Oline preformance. So was I and EVERY fan that watch the game.

RECRUITING...Kevin has ZERO experience doing it. And he has to recruit other kids besides OL

Understood. If Mawae had gotten the job, and the OL was doing this everyone would be bitching he had no experience at coaching. This is what our fans do. Bitch. They will find their sacrificial lamb.

Pretty poor taste on his part if you ask me.

The obvious answer. PS-Can you even begin to imagine the criticism if Miles had hired Kevin and the OL struggled? It’d be all on Les for hiring someone with zero coaching experience who, I’m sure, would be blamed for mucking up the “best OL in years” because he didn’t know how to coach and lead effectively. Man, Les really can’t win for losing around these parts.

Yup pretty stupid not to hire him

Are people actually defending the OL play? I haven't seen that.
No, but there are several that have self-appointed themselves to patrol the board all day attacking any criticism, no matter how valid, of any decision the dear coach has made.

I really think LSU fricked up not hiring him.
here's my only issue with him, I heard him say on the radio at some point he declined a studio gig because he didn't want to be away from his family for long periods of time anymore. Do we really think he was going to put in the needed hours to recruit? As bad as we needed an OL coach we needed a guy to work the trail just as hard (ask cam robinson).

No one has a clue if he'd be a good coach. He's never done it. Too much risk for a program like LSU to take.

Theyd be like sharks with blood in the water.

Grimes' listed targets on 24/7 - 26/29 are offensive linemen

The issue has more to do with the personnel on the OL and not the coaching IMO.

quote:I understand this is the reason, but this is such a shitty, stupid, dumbass line of thinking for hiring an Oline coach. Yes Kevin doesnt have coaching experience yet, you know why Because for the last 15 years he has been busy being an all pro OFFENSIVE LINEMEN IN THE NFL. Yes Grimes has coaching experience, from alot of schools, you know why? Because he went straight to coaching after college, and has been fired from multiple schools. When an ex NFL Pro Bowl lineman and NFLPA president who just got done playing in the NFL wants to be an OLINE coach, just Oline, you take him.
Because he had never coached before.
