Didn’t want to become indifferent about 2018 AU football in January but Gus never ceases to amaze me.

OT: JB Grimes is embarrassing
- Thread starter L I G E R
- Start date
I'm just hoping this is one of those times Marcello got really bad info. Wouldn't be the first time.
Hiring a guy you pushed out so you could upgrade to Herb Hand after Herb Hand leaves you is pretty bad. I say this as someone who liked Grimes as a pure OL coach, saw him working in person a few times and loved his style (he sucked as a recruiter though and it just wasn't working).
This is the type of move we all worried about when Gus got the mega-contract. Doing whatever he wants, not getting outside his comfort zone and only hiring people he knows will go along with whatever HS plans he's got.

This contract for Gus is such a disaster. Arkansas hands us a get out of jail free card and we tear it up and stroke a $50M check for this lunatic.
Oh well praise BRUCE.

Which is strange though bc I thought herb and Gus was tight. Unless this is his saying "F you" to the powers that made him push Grimes out.
Damn it, I'm out of the loop today brAUthers.
Please say it ain't so.
Please.

Please.
Prepare to not sign an OT for three recruiting classes.
won't believe it till it happens. I'm putting it at 10% chance, but that's just me.
I’ve really tried hard to become indifferent about AU football the last few years and just can’t make myself do it. Sucks but it’s just a burden I’m destined to carry I guess.
Looks like Tater got a case of the chappt ass over this whole Herb Hand deal because he was scooped and caught totally by surprise. A boog called him on how He seemed pissed about it and here's his response. The part about "The Nigerians" came off a bit racist imho. I mean, they have names the last time I checkt.
I think I’m done with Au football for the next 5 years. It’s going to be hell.
I know what ya mean, man. But I'm never gonna be done with it. I gotta support our dudes. I'll always boog out on football.
We just have to readjust and revert back to being pre-2010 boogs. You know, where we expect 5 losses and make winning IB our season. And if win amen corner and make ATL erry now and then, then bonus. Hopefully it'll be over in less than 7 years. Maybe some team will prove to be more ruhtarded tha AU and hire him away.
I agree. I’m just going to have fun at the tailgate and not pay too much attention anymore. I’m not the type that accepts mediocrity, so I get really frustrated.
Luckily I'm an old pro at that.

I thought this was funny. Biggest insiders (imo) on 247 said this about Grimes (he did not say whether or not he was hired)
Edapes:
He absolutely called Rhett Zoolander while at Auburn and mocked him openly in 2015 to his unit

This actually gives me hope since Cubelic is so often wrong.
He’s so fortunate to have had his daughter crash into the barrier cables on I-65. He now has an excuse (i.e. multiple blinding headaches per week from the crash) to be a shithead to anyone he pleases for the rest of his life. How convenient.
PS. I’ve been having 2-3 migraines per week for the past 13 years due to a neck injury that resulted in occipital neuralgia. If anything, they’re debilitating. But I’ve never had the dickhead side effect. That’s just a natural personality trait that tends to manifest itself whenever I allow it to.
I'll disagree with JGT about what Herb's claim to fame is. He didn't even have anything to do with signing Prince Tega, and Tega started out on the DL. Plus, I don't remember and "hype" surrounding Prince Sammons nor is there any hype surrounding him currently. By all accounts, he's not expected to start this upcoming season and will most likely get passed by Cal Ashley. Herb Hand convincing Cal Ashley not to decommit is probably the best thing he's done for this program. Braden Smith was already a guard before Herb got here too, so I'm not sure where JGT is getting that either.
It’s nice to know the football program is there in case we have to make a sacrifice to the NCAA for our beloved hoops program.
for transparency sake
-JB Grimes inherited the #2 overall pick at tackle on his first AU team
-Had one of the best rushing offenses in SEC history
-Given three years, he is unable to use that success to land a single tackle that can contribute anything.
Why?

wait, so Grimes mocked Rhett in front of players, then followed Rhett to UConn? either the “mocking” was far more innocent than internet insiders would have you believe - or everyone involved is a cuck
this one is 50/50

He also couldn't recruit an adequate center either. Dampeer sucked. Golson was a transfer and I think was already enrolled before Grimes got there. And I'll be shocked if Kaleb Kim ever starts.
This a clown show bruhs. Lord have mercy.
I think Gus knows 2 OL coaches, 3 tops. Probably the only phone number he had saved in his contacts.
I guess this means that Marcus Woodson is a helluva offensive line recruiter.
I can't believe people are acting surprised.
Exactly. JB is in the group. We ain't going outside the group. Would you work for the fool if you were an "outsider"?
It’s so crazy. This program has been held together by duct tape and dumb luck for years. Enter Kirby at UGA. Exit Boom, T Rob, Dameyune, Baylor scandals. Our only mildly competent tackle was an OM transfer.
In my wildest dreams I always hoped we’d differentiate from bama becoming a BASKETBALL school. If we can just get past this Chuck thing it will have happened.
