Dick Harmon: Jeff Grimes describes what he's looking for in BYU's new offensive line coach

James Wooldridge, Deseret News

PROVO — BYU offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes says hiring a new offensive line coach is right around the corner.

With national signing day over, now comes this hire. The Cougars are just over two weeks away from starting spring football practice.

Grimes lost offensive line coach Ryan Pugh when the former Auburn All-American elected to take a promotion as offensive coordinator at Troy in his home state of Alabama.

Pugh, a likable, energetic disciple of Grimes, left a sizeable hole in BYU's offensive staff.

“We’re working on it,” Grimes said.
