JB Grimes?

He kind of reminds me of art Kehoe with a southern twang. He has that happy to be a position coach full of energy old school guy way about him

There are plenty of good coaches who haven't beat Bama. Him putting together a Top 30 OL is much more impressive than "beating Bama".

Lulz yet Auburn is one of only 2 teams that have beaten them a few times. Alabama is absolutely loaded with freaks and had the #1 class like 5 years straight. An OL that went toe to toe with them is bigly.
Also, I didn't say he was the best coach out there, but that's better than anything we've had in a decade

This place is always going to find a reason to knock someone. The OL coach from Chicago that got let go, Harry Hiestand could come here and despite the lineman he churned out at Notre Dame, ppl would like, “Pass did you see what Willis and Joe Jackson did to his OL” or “Chicago let him go for a reason.” When truly nobody here scouts Offensive lines and their play.

I am happy to admit that I have no clue who would be a good or bad hire. I just know retaining Barry isn’t the answer
 
Is he a good enough tactician to make up for his abysmal recruiting? We are currently chock full of **** recruiters. In order to justify another bad one, he’d have to a monster teacher/technician.

I don’t want to just grab guys the OC knows without taking a shot at the best possible candidates first.

This is why I'd love to finesse a guy like Herb Hand. He is not the best coach of the position...but he's a big time recruiter of the position. I think we just really need an infusion of real talent here.

Its not happening, but I'm with you...we need a recruiter first, "coach" second.

I'm not sure I've seen his name, and idk if he wants to go back to college.

Adrian Klemm. Current Assistant OL Coach for the Steelers. Was in college as a top recruiter for a while. His units always performed well, too.

JB Grimes was most likely on his way out at Auburn. Come on now you are using a 9 or 11 yr old references with Giants grey beard oline coach. Also the college game is different from the pros and requires way more energy and vigilance.

Look at Auburn's oline recruiting class for 2020 it was sad considering they had a good season and have Bagmen. Grimes was a lazy recruiter for the 2020 class given the OL available this year throughout the south.

I understand that the the NFL and college game are different but our biggest issue seems to be technique. Seems like an old timer who's probably learned so many variations of offense would be a good fit for a few years to get our young fellas up to speed. JMO .

True but not an old timer that is almost past his sell by date.

Fwiw, Just from some initial twitter glancing, majority of AU fans seem to be glad, said he was underwhelming and their OL wasn't where it needed to be. Says he stepped down to "pursue other opportunities". Not sure if that means he won't be coaching football or if he left for another job? Definitely makes you think about him and UM though. I guess we will see.


* I would pay to see his reaction when/if he came in and saw the OL "talent" on this team though.

That's all it takes to get hired by UM. Gotta be underwhelming. Or, inept.

There is speculation that he will coach for the Giants under Joe Judge according to two NY writers.

To answer your question, no. No one can be worse BUT we said the exact same thing about Searles. Atleast Searles recruited, sometimes lol. And being better than Barry shouldn't be the litmus test. How about we just fire Barry first though. WTF is the hold up here?

We said the same about Richt as an OC & HC too. Then got Diaz and Enos.

As a gophers fan and native Minnesotan who watched all of their games I’ll say that the MN DL was not very good. Their LBs and Winfield JR were what saved them often times. That game the DL ate
