PROVO — BYU offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes and quarterback coach Aaron Roderick have told head coach Kalani Sitake they want the starting quarterback derby to bake a little longer.
Will it work for BYU’s situation? With a new offense, a room full of new coaches, spring practice in the rearview mirror, don’t the Cougars need a singular voice as a leader in the offseason to organize player-driven practices? Someone to take charge?
Yes.
On the other hand, the move to keep the position up for grabs serves several purposes. It is a sign of respect to senior-to-be Tanner Mangum as he recovers from Achilles surgery.
