That doesn’t surprise me being in Tennessee. It’s not in our footprint traditionally but we should at least throw a guy to recruit Memphis and Nashville. The rise of Nashville will propel UTk back to some semblance of normalcy for their history.
Stultz has made it very clear to get rid of this guy. I can’t remember which game it was but he was online with JTG and dropping F bombs after F bomb about the bullshite product on the field

Who made it clear?

Harsin walked into a great situation at AU and has pissed it away.
The next guy walks into a situation that will be at a minimum 2 years behind on roster management and depth. So whoever it is unless they are able to get 10-15 difference makes in the portal and 10 or so quality depth players it’s gonna be a tough first couple of years. We lose a lot of experienced players whether they be good or bad at the end of this season.

Had he brought in OLs season would look different

especially since the free covid year is over. Players will have to sit a year from my understanding and not be able to play right away.

We have had several players from Brentwood Academy in the past. Kody Bliss, King Dunlap, Pete Compton, Jake Slaughter, John Vaughn, etc.

For the most part if its Grimes, he better have a killer staff or I’ll be disappointed. Grimes is a likable guy and seems to be a great family man so I’d be willing to give him a chance.
However he isn’t great as an OC and seems to be more of a recruiter than a schemer, so he would need to command great staffs to do their own thing. I see Grimes more as an CRG…
I fear this is where we are headed.
Just from the little info from the beat writers, it seems the President is very, very conservative - like he's checking all the boxes and following the book to hire an AD before we fire Harsin. Nothing to rock the boat, must follow normal procedures.
Even though he's been at Auburn a while, Roberts is not from the true South (he from the Midwest). Not sure he really understands what needs to happen with this coaching hire and how important the hire is. We need a proven name.
Could be very wrong about this, but those are my impressions. And it won't be the worst thing in the world to hire a first class person like Grimes.

Roberts has been at AU for 15 years as a prof. He’s a big sports fan.

I think we can all argue that Grimes is the kind of hire that gets people fired in a few years

Doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling as far as doing what it takes for the football program.
His college experience was Missouri and Notre Dame. All fine, but I think this makes him very conservative.

I don't know. With the right coordinators, Grimes might be successful. He is not going to be as bad as Harsin. He knows the SEC and Auburn. He can and will recruit which is essential to building up the roster with the talent we need.

The south tends to do that too. Keep in mind how Auburn (really) works. He won't have all the say, or the final say here. Now he can go rogue, but doesn't have to look too far back to see where that gets you

Roberts has been at Auburn 28 years as a professor, department chair, and dean. His whole career after his PhD from ND.
As Corch points out, he’s been described as being very interested in athletics and I imagine in his nearly 3 decades in Auburn he fully grasps how important football is to the community, fans, and bottom line.
Doesn’t mean he’ll instantly nail an AD hire. But it’s a departure from Gogue who notoriously wanted little direct involvement in athletics.

Does Grimes do it for you under our current circumstance? Pissing away $40+ million to fire 2 staffs to land on Grimes? Who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself?
Firing 2 staffs in 3 years is a whole new set of circumstances. Hopefully that pushes the PTB to make a hire that is too.

Unfortunately, think Grimes might be just good enough or appealing enough for consensus. Definitely would not be a wrong hire.
But to leave other riskier, higher ceiling names on the table would be hard to take.

Would be idiotic considering

Yes, as mentioned, he's been at Auburn a while and he's a sports fan.
Let's hope his standards aren't those of the Tuberville era or Malzahn era, or heaven forbid Missouri athletics.

Exactly. Buyout Gus, buyout Harsin, just to hire Grimes. Thank you BOT for putting us in this situation.
Hire a Rhule, Kiffin, or Freeze… guys that have proven they can win in college.
