I thought Troy did not want him back.

With Pugh losing the Baylor job, he might take Mateos. big loss for us. But we could replace him with Pugh. Pugh was the first choice so it might turn into an upgrade.

You think BYU looks past the blackface thing? Honest question.

I don't know that a school that is getting flak from past players right now for not having enough black coaches to mentor black student athletes would go out and hire Pugh right now.

The Black thing happened when he was in college by what I can tell and it looked pretty harmless. BYU has hired him once already since his college days so he has already been though the hiring process at BYU already and they hired him then. So I'm more than happy to take him back again, after all he was Grimes' 1st choice again (@BYU and @Baylor).

Grimes is very close with Ryan Pugh. In Jay Drew's tweet he says that "Grimes considers Pugh a son". It makes sense that if he could get Pugh or take Mateos with him he would take Pugh first. After all, he did it once before in bringing Pugh to BYU and only lost him so he could have a shot at being an OC at Troy. Being the OL coach at a P5 is going to be a better opportunity to move up than the OC at a G5 school--especially if Baylor does well the next few years.
