The Kansas Jayhawks are set to hire Jeff Grimes as its offensive coordinator, according to reports from Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger and ESPN on Thursday.
Grimes, who spent the last three seasons as Baylor’s offensive coordinator before he was fired in late November, was a finalist for the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach in both 2020 with BYU and 2021 with Baylor.
Broyles’ BYU offense was third in the nation in scoring offense in 2020. He finished within the top 40 in the nation in scoring offense in both of his first two years with Baylor, but the Bears slid down to 98th in the country with just 23.1 points per game this season.
The Broyles move comes after former Kansas offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki took the same job with Penn State.
