Our days-long Baylor Nation-al confusion about what exactly happened in our search for a new offensive line coach is officially over! Baylor announced the long-reported (first by SicEm365, for the record) hire of BYU’s Eric Mateos just a few minutes ago, reuniting Mateos with Jeff Grimes, his OC at BYU and our OC now, and Dave Aranda himself, with whom Mateos worked at LSU for a season (2016). Mateos was widely considered the original favorite for the job before we hired Ryan Pugh and then let him go a day later, at which time it appears we went back to Mateos and, purely speculating here, maybe sweetened the original offer.
