KU FB 2024

Has KU won enough to save Grimey’s job? Personally, I hope not.

We would have to win out to even entertain such a stupid things as to keep him. He is terrible at his job. But we'll still have Daniels next season. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is yet to be seen.

Do we really? I thought this was his ninth Senior year, or thereabouts.

Daniels is a redshirt junior.

Yep, at KU for 5 years and is a Junior.
In 2022 he was a Second Team Academic All-American.
His current KU Football bio states he "plans" to major in computer engineering.
Does he walk down the hill in 2026?

As far as Claire Boucher (Grimes), can anyone explain why Daniels regressed this season?
I can blame it on his back, I can blame it on his OL, I can blame it on his playing against good defenses, can I blame it on his OC?
I don't follow recruiting and don't know who Sir Lancelot will bring in via portal.
Grimes loses a lot of shiny toys after this season. Doesn't give me much confidence in his success next season.

I think there was an adjustment period for the OC and for JD coming back from injury.

It was pretty apparent that they didn’t get Daniels sufficient game-speed reps in the preseason. He was overwhelmed by the speed of the game early on. That’s on Grimey.

It also seemed like Grimey’s scheme lacked the trickeration and unpredictability of Coach K’s system. Teams knew what to expect and Daniels was panicking and not moving through his progressions, hence the interceptions and fumbles.

I think the OC has been much better the last handful of games. The play calling got better.

Or maybe JD just got better and it made the plays look better?

To play the role of Gutter (devil's advocate), Grimes could only get better as the season progressed - or is it more of a case of him having less hands on and others taking more control of the offense?

Fair point.
But if that’s the case, Lance knows, and should act accordingly.
