LSU O-line coach Jeff Grimes on his move to BYU and his 2017 line

Good read from delly

He called the decision to end his four-year tenure in Baton Rouge “hard” and described his meeting with offensive linemen Thursday as “emotional.” He left because the timing was “right,” he said, for his family and for BYU, and his wishes to be a coordinator superseded any offer from LSU to boost his contract.
In a 20-minute interview, Grimes also detailed the timeline of landing the job and how he spent an “unbelievable amount of time and energy” reassuring offensive line prospects committed to the Tigers that the right place for them is still Baton Rouge.
He spoke about his plans for his offense at BYU and his ability as a play-caller. He touched on LSU’s past offensive line production and, he says, its bright future.
“The real pleasure I have leaving here is I feel like I’m leaving the room in a lot better place," Grimes said. "This group, combined with the recruits that are coming in, these guys got a chance to be phenomenal offensive line moving forward and I look forward to watching them.”

What do you do in a situation like this where you’re responsible for several offensive line commitments less than a week before the early signing period?
The first thing I did was I got (LSU's new line coach) (James) Cregg’s number and sent him a message and told him he was going to owe me a little cut of his salary when he got here. Nah, I didn’t do that.
It is a funny deal. They found out before I had an opportunity to tell them. Again, you’d like for them to hear it from you first. I’ve had conversations with all of them. It’s weird because, although I’m leaving, I’ve spent an unbelievable amount of time and energy to get them to LSU. I want them to be here. I believe this is the right place for them. I don’t want them to have any second thoughts because I’m leaving. I’ve talked to all of them about the fact that, even though I have a very strong relationship with each of them, that’s not the only reason they’re coming to LSU.
If you’re a guy who cares about people then you want to kind of see the job through. I’ve tried to help with that process as much as I can by having contact with them and their parents.

Yep. High character move. Hope he succeeds at BYU.

To contact incoming recruits is a class move on his part. Hope he has success at BYU

Does anyone else feel bad that they so harshly criticized this guy early this season? Or is it just me?

What a class move.
I wonder if Dellenger can get a similiar interview with Austin Thomas and ask him if he feels bad about stabbing us in the back immediately after all LSU had done for him.

Having been a bit connected to VT, I knew when we got him it was a very positive move. I have always thought he did a very good job for LSU. He leaves with an OL in far better shape than when he arrived.
Best of luck to Jeff Grimes...

If you want to move up you got to move around and build your Resume. If he wants to be a HC down the road you got to work your way up. This is a good move for him!!

I’m curious to see if Grimes incorporates pre-snap shifts into his offense
