He's preparing his BBQ. Les and the rest of the staff need to try it before he's officially hired.

Already hired. On campus recruiting top olinemen for this class and next. I believe he has us working towards Damian prince. Great addition for his oline recruiting.

Has he been hired or not.


Grimes was at BYU, not a National powerhouse, left there, hired at Auburn, fired when Malzahn was hired, and if anyone looks at the Offensive production numbers at Auburn in his term there wouldn't question why, and now it is THIS GUY that may have been hired.

Auburns 2010 nat Chamipionship, with grimes as OL coach, disagrees with you. I'll take that kind of production. weird that you wouldn't.

Didn't Miles do the same thing last year with Cam and hold off the official hiring so he could recruit more?
I think that's it. Would be confirmed in announcement happens after dead/quiet period starts again.

Grimes was hired in 2009, wasn't he. So it is not like he recruited any of the 2010 O Line, particularly BECAUSE that line had 5 Seniors and 3 Juniors who returned for the NC season.

Check the stats after Cam Newton, and the Seniors left, not pretty for 2011, and 2012 when he was fired.

I know nothing about Grimes but I'm going to use you logic...

Cam Cameron was hired in 2013, wasn't he? So it is not like he recruited Zach Mettenberger, Jeremy Hill, OBJ or Landry particularly BECAUSE they were Seniors and Juniors who returned for this season.

So he probably had no immediate impact on their production, right?

Wasn't he also the guy who pulled Robinson and Patrick miller from us? He's a solid recruiter and everyone knows les also coaches the oline. Great pick up. He brings em in and les coaches em up. Trust me this is what we needed to get bck to a title game (and more lb coaching)

Patrick miller


Gunnar screwed us out of Miller. He was going to be an early entry and his spot got cut for Keil. That is why Miles was so mad at him. Miller recruited Vadal Alexander for us and then got screwed...

Ya'll do realize that hiring someone, and the "Official statement/press conference" are 2 separate things right?

Oh, right, after all of the Seniors left and Chiz shite the bed...

But, wait, tell me what the offensive line did this year...with the guys that he did recruit.

Exactly, normally the HC is limited in contact with recruits per NCAA rules. When a staff member leaves the HC is allowed to fill his spot. They are just taking advantage of the rule while they can. They do it everytime there is a staff change. Expect Grimes to be made official at the bash.

He's a silent commitment. It will be revealed on signing day.
