    Colorado Completes Hire


    BYU offensive line coach Jeff Grimes has been hired for the same position at Colorado, reuniting him with CU head coach Dan Hawkins. Grimes, 38, replaces Chris Strausser, who resigned Feb. 8 to return to Boise State.

    Grimes was an offensive line coach at Boise State in 2000, when Hawkins was an assistant.The next three years, Grimes held the same position at Arizona State while also serving as the running game coordinator. There, he worked closely with current CU offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, who joined Hawkins' staff in Boulder last season.

    A month and a half after being hired, Alabama football coach Nick Saban has purchased a home for roughly $2.9 million on the northeast side of Tuscaloosa, according to a Birmingham newspaper.

    Saban, who was the Miami Dolphins coach in 2004 and 2005, moved out of his home outside Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Feb. 7, national signing day. His belongings were packed into an 18-wheeler with "Crimson Tide football" on the front, the same one used to transport equipment and uniforms for road games.
