Dick Harmon: So what's BYU's big football hire Jeff Grimes accomplished in five months?

Laura Seitz, Deseret News

Jeff Grimes left SEC country in the heart of a fertile recruiting mecca that spans from Florida to his home state of Texas. It’s a place where football is a religion and is the cutting edge of the college game, from Alabama to Tallahassee and from Athens to Baton Rouge. He put it all in his rear view mirror to accept his first offensive coordinator job in Provo.

It was a leap in almost every way you want to paint it, to help lift a four-win BYU team back to its rightful place as a traditional collegiate football brand.
