"Auburn Athletics and Gymnastics Head Coach Jeff Graba have mutually agreed to part ways after 16 seasons.

Auburn's search for a new Head Coach will begin immediately.

Statement from Auburn Athletics Director John Cohen

“We thank Coach Graba for his leadership over the past 16 seasons and wish him the best moving forward. Jeff oversaw a period of significant growth in all areas of the gymnastics program while developing outstanding Auburn women.”

He was 5-22 overall and 0-8 in the SEC this year.

He had a good run, but we can do better, when Suni Lee was in her prime it was a fantastic atmosphere.

"Graba led the Tigers to 14 regional appearances and three NCAA Championship appearances. He led the program to the Final Four in 2022 and the Super Six in 2015.

“I want to thank Auburn University for taking a chance on me 16 years ago,” Graba said. “Being at the helm of this program has been an honor and it has been a privilege to coach this team. I am proud of the opportunity our coaching staff has had to help our student-athletes achieve their goals and dreams – whether it be competing in the Olympics, or for an SEC or National Championship. Thank you Auburn for welcoming the Graba family and giving Bridget and me the chance to raise our family here in Auburn – including two daughters receiving Auburn University degrees.”

Overall, Graba’s athletes combined for 37 All-America honors and 45 All-SEC recognitions, including Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee with a program-best 10 All-America nods. Graba also had two athletes earn individual national championships and two SEC individual titles.

Graba was named Southeastern Coach of the Year in 2014 and 2015 and SEC co-Coach of the Year in 2012.

Auburn’s search for a new gymnastics coach will begin immediately."
