Why did Malzahn not re-hire Jeff Grimes?

Just curious.

Looking at his career as OL coach it appears that his only down year was was the year Chizik was fired from Auburn.

Was it a philosophy difference with Malzahn? Or, did Malzahn simply want a clean slate?

From what I understood he wanted the clean slate.

Did you see how MSU handled LSU's line? That's why. He's a solid recruiter but that's it.

Wanted a clean slate and Grimes wasn't that good of a coach.

Our new OLine coach who is also named Grimes seems to be an upgrade

He just wanted a clean break from Chizik's coaching staff. The 3-9 record during Chizik's last year was due to dysfunction between the coaches and players

Is this serious? You shouldn't have to look too hard for a reason.

CGM wanted to flush the toilet and bring in all new hires. Grimes has a track record but I think it was more about getting a new start with a whole new "family".
