I thought Grimes was a good coach and well liked? WTF?

reported initially by Football Scoop, J.B. Grimes appears headed to Cincinnati. Auburn was hoping he'd accept a support position, but Tommy Tuberville, another former Arkansan, has offered Grimes an on-the-field opportunity. Grimes' son, Nick, is a graduate assistant at Cincinnati.
We consider Herb Hand, who coached with Malzahn at Tulsa, to be the clear favorite for that job. He's currently at Penn State coaching the offensive line and coordinating the run game.
Rhett Lashlee is interviewing with someone at the coaches' convention. I suspect it's Cincinnati, but I cannot confirm that 100% at this time.
We also believe Tim Horton is in the mix for the offensive coordinator job at Central Florida. He has interviewed with them. Is that a job he really wants? That's to be determined, but it's obviously a step up from his role here.

Damn, sounds like Gus is flipping the whole coaching staff besides Garner and DC.

Somehow Scott Fountain always seems safe too
I know Horton has been looking to move up for years. I believe he is looking rather than pushed out

Sounds like Gus is getting all his guys hooked up with other jobs this year rather than getting them shite canned next year.

Gus acts like he likes playing with everything stacked against his team. Look for him to kick Lawson off the team before week 1 if he stays healthy.

Rumor,Grimes did interview, looks like it could happen. I hope not, just read we have 4-5 OT taking officials and no O line coach. Very important next few weeks coming up.

After three seasons at Auburn, J.B. Grimes has accepted an offer to coach the offensive line at Cincinnati, Auburn Undercover has learned.
J.B. Grimes will join his son on the staff at Cincinnati.
Grimes interviewed with Cincinnati head coach Tommy Tuberville at the American Football Coaches Association in San Antonio on Sunday. He plans to move to Cincinnati later this week.
The official announcement is expected Monday.
Grimes, knowledgeable sources said, had the option to return to Auburn as offensive line coach next season.
Penn State offensive line coach Herb Hand is head coach Gus Malzahn’s top target to replace Grimes, sources said.
For Grimes, who followed Malzahn from Arkansas State in earlier 2013, it will be an opportunity to work with his son, Nick, who is a graduate assistant at Cincinnati and coaches tight ends. Sources close to Grimes said the opportunity to work with his son was a major factor in the decision.
Grimes has coached on the collegiate level for more than 30 years. He helped the 2013 Tigers win the SEC championship and play for the national championship. His offensive line paved the way for an average of 328.3 rushing yards per game, leading the nation. The Tigers led the SEC in rushing again in 2014.
Grimes tutored left tackle Greg Robinson, who was the No. 2 pick in the 2014 NFL draft and is now the starting left tackle for the St. Louis Rams, and Reese Dismukes, who won the Rimington Trophy in 2014 as the nation’s top center. Chad Slade, a starter for Grimes in 2013 and 2014, is on the Houston Texans’ roster.
Guard Alex Kozan was a freshman All-American in 2013 and Braden Smith was a freshman All-SEC selection in 2014.

Wish him the best. He is a hell of an OL coach.

quote:PM says he does not spin things the way the staff wants but this is one of those times I think he's full of it. I know coaching w/ his son could be nice but given the pay cut he is taking going from AU OL coach to Cincy I don't buy that he could have stayed at AU as OL coach. The JGT report that JB was asked to take an off field position at AU is much more believable. Someone brought that over to AUC asking about it & PM said he was not going into any of it. If it wasn't true he should have just said no.

I meant the spin coming from another fanbase...one in particular.

Some of us here remember the complaining when Gus hired Grimes -- everybody thought Gus got turned down by others and had to settle - old man who couldn't get a job. Now they love him and will complain about the next hire.
I hope he does get Hand - really good coach, no matter what you saw at PSU. 3 years ago he was one of the hottest OL coaches in the country.
But I'm ready for the same schtick from the same complainers again this time.

So if this coaching flip happens, I cannot see 2016 going any different than 2012. New DC, new OC, and changes across a handful of position coaches, all the while being relatively lacking on talent across the field.
Our only highlight positions are RB and defensive end. I'm guessing two players will breakout next season, but it most likely won't make a difference.
Fire JJ.

Wouldn't expect anything less from a fake Auburn fan like yourself.
