It’s like if I had a team of great developers and I said, hey, let’s build these sites in Drupal.

We've taken a step back

The screens have me convinced he is hopelessly stupid

I don't love the job Grimes has done so far, BUT. Jalon Daniels has thrown 6 INT in the last 2 games. If we have to point fingers, that's where they need to be pointed

He threw 6 picks in the last 2 games? You sure about that?
I happen to agree with you that fingers need to be pointed at him. He's been terrible.

*5. Felt like 10 tho. I happen to think we've got a talented offense, but you ain't gonna win games turning it over like that.

Wish we were still flickin the bean

Usually I point out that QBs are not solely at fault for all of their interceptions.
Daniels was at fault for a lot more than 5 bad passes (and even more bad decisions) the past 2 games.
We have a shit load of talent on offense. Daniels should be an asset. Too often he's been a liability.
I know we can't quit on Daniels but if we have any games that aren't close going in the 4th quarter, I feel we should let the guy who has siblings with the names of Sunnie, Rainn, and Cash, play.
On a related side note. I admit I was clueless. Now I understand why Bean is on the Colts.

Defenses have evolved to counter deep passing. Everyone is using the high safeties. We need an intermediate passing game to complement the running and motion game. I think Rip Van Daniels has had a late wake up to the deep zone coverages. He flat out missed the linebacker on his last interception because UNLV had moved him around. The new radio only works until the defense resets.

We have/had an intermediate game with Grimm running slants. He/Arnold can do this effectively. I’m not at fire him, but holy shit this is missing the best window (perceived) for KU football in, forever?!?!?!

And that’s sad.

The shitty thing about daniels turnovers is we have already seen him play relatively mistake free football at a high level before injury.

We had an expectation that he would come in and pick up where he left off. He hasn't. Maybe that's not fair, but it is what it is.

This is perhaps the most sensible post of yours I can remember lol

Which is where Grimes and Punishment becomes Darkness at Noon

Honestly the whole thing has very strong senior Sherron vibes.

Cool, the problem is the OC left town. JD has always been a gunslinger type QB. He did have a OC that ran schemes that got players open. The two interception's against UNLV the receiver's were open. JD just locked in on those guys which allowed defense to make plays and if he would have thrown pass earlier they both would have been completed. The problem is the playcalling. With the RPO action we ran you had to lean toward stopping the run.....or we ran. Once a defense leaned in you passed.

I have heard that Grimes is moving to the box. Typically your OC is calling plays from the box. For some reason Grimes has been on the sideline. Which to me he was really not focused on what the defense is trying to stop he just calling situational plays.

Those WR's bubble screen's need to be taken out of the playbook.

Don’t care the result of this one.
Bump.

Seriously.
Play to win.
What a fucking weakling.

Seasons over. Grimes is the obvious scapegoat. Is it all his fault? No. Jalon daniels is not the jalon daniels of old. But who cares

Good thing lance got his big raise/ extension already. Negotiations would look different at the end of this season unless something drastically changes

Lance just needs to keep us out of 4-8 territory. Theres no excuse for a team with this talent to be worse than that…and if they do, yea, that’s shitty coaching Lance.

As soon is KU is eliminated from bowl contention (after the ISU, BYU, or CU, game) - I wonder if Neal, Grimm, Arnold, Wheeler, Brown, Dotson, Bryant, etc., stick around.

Not so dumb question time....
Did KU not realize Grimes wasn't good a BU?
