Popular Post bigbird 60,580 Posted October 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2022 I know some keep asking, "why Grimes"? Here's a piece put out by the Broyles award explaining his nomination for the award as well as some previous accomplishments and history https://broylesaward.com/posts/pv_candidate/jeff-grimes/ 10 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerHorn 1,354 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I could get behind a "Reliable, Violent Offense"! Taking a LB and making him an All American RB sounds like something xCTT would have done in his best years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,034 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Came here hoping to get meaningful discussion on grimes , yet y’all let Mikey 2.0 rile y’all up again. He always says stuff and never responds back. Rinse and repeat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DAG 34,034 Posted October 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2022 I will say the thing that makes Grimes a big win for me is that he not only has the IQ but the ability to coach up damn grown men on the line. So sick of us being so soft . 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sick of us being so soft . That's the biggest thing for me too, we haven't been able to push a LOS in so long, I have a hard time even remembering it, and that's sad. I've never seen a line just get mauled on 3 man rushes consistently as bad as this line has been. Edited October 18, 2022 by Maverick.AU 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine grimes would prioritize both lines as well. I think Grimes could do wonders with RA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For any qb to have any sniff at consistent success, we gotta shore the line up, and quickly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiefifty 17,072 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 from my point of view when grimes was here last time i believe he was well liked. i do not remember a single comment against him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bigbird 60,580 Posted October 18, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2022 A few things I like, besides what he does for the Auburn alignment, is he is methodical and calculating. He isn't married to a system, which allows him to flex and attack anywhere with anyone. Most players under his coaching have developed to their potential or past. Very rarely has he had a bust anywhere. His ability to assemble an all-star staff is very appealing, they will be doing the heavy lifting for the classes. Other coaches are attractive too. JG's career arc seems to be peaking and I think he brings a lot more and checks a lot more than most all of the others. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were interviewing him, I would have him analyze tape of Bama and Georgia's defense and have him explain how we would score against them going forward. Where is their opportunity to gain yards and hit explosive plays against them? Where can they be exploited? You get them at home next year with a new coach + new attitude. Crazier things have happened before. It's not 2015 anymore. You can score on Alabama. They are slowly but surely sliding down from their peak. I'm very hyped for JG. I really hope we hire him.

cole256 17,084 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hopefully you don't get a bunch of people calling him names or posting every 5 minutes made up stuff to point out why they don't like him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArTiger 37 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I think Grimes would be a great hire. But I also believe Coach Prime would be monumental. A hire of a life time for Auburn! Don't pass him up! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This what I like to hear. The actual good coaches aren’t married to any one thing in particular and put their players in position to succeed. Saban is the goat for a reason because he’s not afraid to change with the times. Stubborn coaches get left behind 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people failed to realize how good of a DC CKS really was. Bama has been pretty susceptible , especially against the pass since his departure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUMASTERS 555 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I agree with DAG that his development of Offensive Lines is most appealing to me but this stood out Grimes’ arrival in Waco has seen the Bears’ rushing offense jump from 123rd nationally last season (90.3 ypg) to fourth nationally (237.5 ypg) in its first season under Grimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro Johnny Mac 1,402 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 IF..... We can get either Grimes or Prime...It will be a win and we’re sitting in a great position *Still pulling for Prime* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburnguy101 325 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 As I’ve said before, it’s just a huge red flag to me that he’s never been a head coach at any capacity for as long as he’s been coaching and there has to be a reason. I’m not totally against him, but it just doesn’t really excite the average fan base either… 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
