WarTiger 4,120 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Interesting. http://www.theplains...w-at-cincinnati Report: Offensive assistant set to interview at Cincinnati By Evan McCullers | Assistant Sports Editor | 16 minutes ago Source | The Auburn Plainsman Offensive line coach J.B. Grimes goes over blocking schemes with his players before practice.Anna Grafton / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR While Auburn has seen tremendous turnover on the defensive coaching staff after the 2015 season, the offensive staff has remained intact — for now, at least. Auburn offensive line coach J.B. Grimes will interview for a position on the University of Cincinnati’s staff, according to a report from AL.com. Grimes joined the Auburn staff in 2013 and oversaw an offensive line that paved the way for Tre Mason and Nick Marshall, both of whom rushed for over 1,000 yards. The Tigers led the nation in rushing that year, averaging 328.3 yards per game. Auburn has produced a 1,000-yard rusher in each of Grimes’ three seasons on The Plains. Former Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville is currently the head coach at Cincinnati, and Grimes’ son, Nick, is a graduate assistant for the Bearcats.

mdp5150 167 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Many of us were hoping for some change on offense but most were probably hoping for it to be Rhett.

TIGGR82 4 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Brandon Marcello was tweeting for us fans to keep an eye on Herb Hand. He would easily be my favorite choice if Coach Grimes were to move on. He has worked with Gus before, Tulsa, and is a top notch guy.

CR 2,565 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hand was Gus's 1st choice I believe when he came to AU. I'm not shocked Grimes is maybe leaving, but I sure thought it would be out of coaching, not Cincinnati. I thought he was doing a really good job here?

johnnyAU 3,770 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'd hate to lose Grimes, but I wouldn't mind Herb Hand coming over. He could help out with the play calling and scheme development too.

I think this is 100% his decision and he wasn't "encouraged" or anything else.

milehighfan 1,268 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 While a lot of us, myself included, have complained about certain coaches, they seem to be a hot commodity for other teams.
