Either Grimes knew he had this gig or he was told to get this gig

I think he knew he had it. Hasn't there been rumors of him going to BYU for a few days?

Ahhhh he was with O at Tennessee and USC
quote:
In 2009, he was hired to coach the offensive line at the University of Tennessee. That season, the Volunteers allowed just 12 sacks, tied for fewest on the Southeastern Conference.
Cregg spent just one season in Knoxville before moving out to California to become the offensive line coach at USC for the next four seasons (2010-13). Cregg coached first-team All-Pac-12 selections in each of his four years with the school, including offensive tackles and future NFL first-round picks Tyron Smith (No. 9, Dallas, 2011) and Matt Kalil (No. 4, Minnesota, 2012). In 2011, USC finished second in the nation in sacks allowed (eight) despite not starting a senior along the offensive line. Kalil was named first-team All-America, while guard Marcus Martin was chosen as a first-team Freshman All-America.

Sounds like a great hire!

I wonder why he had to go back to be the assistant O line coach, a position he had a decade prior.

Wow looks like a solid hire. Also good on O for having someone locked up already with the early signing period almost here.

This. All of this. Looks like he can coach and understands recruiting, time will tell but I have to respect the quickness of the hire, if anything. Damn RosyFinchboyz ain't foolin round in 2018.
