toddc 13,194 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Wesley McGriff to remain on Auburn coaching staff 'Crime Dog' McGriff will not be leaving Auburn after all Nathan King6 mins After a series of twists and turns since he returned to Auburn in the offseason, Wesley McGriff will ultimately remain on the Plains for the 2024 season. "Crime Dog" McGriff will not be leaving Auburn after all and is set to return to his post on Hugh Freeze's on-field assistant staff as a defensive backs coach, Auburn Undercover confirmed Friday afternoon. Last month, after Auburn hired Colorado defensive coordinator Charles Kelly to its staff, McGriff left for an assistant job coaching under Mike Elko at Texas A&M as DB coach and passing game coordinator. McGriff was hired by Freeze last offseason, after the two worked together previously at Ole Miss. McGriff thus began his third career coaching stint at Auburn, having also been on staff in 2016 and 2019-20. He coached the Tigers' cornerbacks, while Zac Etheridge handled safeties and nickels. Etheridge resigned from the coaching staff Friday, and McGriff will coach defensive backs with Kelly. In late October, McGriff moved off the field due to a "personal issue," according to Freeze at the time. McGriff's title was "chief of accountability and in-house recruiting," and he remained on staff throughout the season. Special teams coordinator Tanner Burns took his spot as an on-field coach. Last week, defensive coordinator Ron Roberts took a job as an assistant coach at Florida, as the Tigers are now working to replace both coordinators. Auburn Undercover will update this story. Check back for additional information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR 2,447 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Great move. McGriff is a good coach, relates well with players and is a closer in recruiting. And good riddance to Ron Roberts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we at least got Kelly and McGriff officially in, but we may need strong coordinator hires here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, Nix may not be totally out of the picture yet, we all know how Lane likes to troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
