Former Auburn OL Coach, JB Grimes, and former SC OL Coach, Eric Wolford, have thrown their hats in the ring.

I heard the rumors about Eric last night at dinner ... and man, I like Eric a lot as a person, can't blame him for taking the YSU job when he did, but I just don't know about bringing him back.

Eric thinks a lot of himself. Eric always reminded me a lot of Rick Minter ... FWIW. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but I've said it before - he's really really Midwestern, he does not have a smidgen of Southern in him and Mindy was not crazy about living down here the last time. She was very nice, very accommodating but they just didn't fit well down here - God Bless'em.

I get it though .... he's looking for the big paycheck again and hoping to command $600k a year - I get it. But we need someone who really loves this place and wants to be here this time BUT who can also coach his arse off.

It's not too much to ask for both.
