PROVO — Kalani Sitake understands his hire of an offensive coordinator has to be a home run.
And he’ll have to pay for it.
Wednesday night, Scott Roussel of FootballScoop.com, reported that LSU offensive line coach Jeff Grimes is expected to be named BYU's new offensive coordinator once cleared by the school's process. Grimes had a similar role at BYU a decade ago. He has coached at Virginia Tech, Auburn, Colorado, Arizona State, Boise State and Hardin-Simmons.
Grimes is the 76th-highest paid assistant coach in the NCAA, making $560,000 base salary at LSU. He is considered the best O-line coach in the country.
