Maybe we just Greg Schiano’d the hire

So did Gus actually force JB Grimes out the first time or did Jay Jacobs? This is so bizarre to hire someone that you, presumably, fired for sucking just a couple years ago. But if JJ was the one that kind of forced a change, then it makes more sense.
I don’t understand why Gus is so simple-minded.
JBG is just an awful, awful addition to a staff that is in desperate need of elite recruiters.
Why must we Auburn so much?

Where is the narrative coming from that he was an awesome technique coach? Would’ve loved to have seen his sack numbers with Stidham and not Nick Marshall to bail him out
Not to mention his only big time player turned out to be one of the worst busts in NFL history.
I love yore optimism.
This is literally one of the worst hires in program history, considering the current circumstances.
I hate Gus Malzahn so much it’s unhealthy.

The truth is every program has gotten better since last year except maybe MSU/LSU. We will be lucky to get to 8 wins going forward. Just wait til our DL leaves after this upcoming season.

I’m not close to as negative as most appear to be on this but for a coach that seemingly lobbied for more money for assistants this is underwhelming.
The Woodson hire had me seriously optimistic about this turnaround and then to go back to JB Grimes is underwhelming.

The narrative always comes from sunshine boogs.
Yeah, why would ANYONE be negative about a guy who couldn’t build off of the ridiculous talent pool he inherited in 2013 to leave us with a patchwork group and desperately searching for grad transfers? And that was before we had to contend with Kirby on the trail at UGA.
He literally didn’t sign an SEC-caliber OT for 3 consecutive cycles, which is simply inexcusable. I mean, that’s almost “sue for breach of contract” worthy for an SEC OL coach. He’s not just a “zero” on the trail. He’s an actual liability. He HURTS our recruiting efforts.
JBG damn near cost Gus his job once previously and now he’s back to ruin our future once again.
This is the very worst hire we could’ve possibly made and our program’s outlook for the future just became considerably worse. He is simply an abysmal hire.
Y’all member when that elite stud fell in his lap and he slow played him? Now a Bama AA and future first rounder. Good times.

Dude I’m not that far off in agreement with you I’m just not on Armageddon level here.

This made me lol in the office, and then I got very excited.
Then sad. Because Gus.
This would not shock me at all. In terms of personality and being a guy you’d enjoy having a few beers with JB would be by far the first choice of anyone from our offensive staff. Seriously, put them all in a bar for a couple of hours and old man Grimes would have more game than the rest. This doesn't mean he disliked Rhett obviously...but he would give anyone a little bit of hell and needle them when they needed to be dropped down a notch or two.
I like JB. I just hate him at Auburn especially under this HC because of what it means big picture. It's a terrible hire not because he can't coach, but because we desperately need an elite offensive recruiter, which he is not and he will not get elite talent by himself.

Jonah Williams, Bama’s starting LT who started for them as a True Freshman last year
This is what gets me the most. They were reportedly ready to throw the moon at Dell Mcghee and make him the highest paid position coach out there, and now he goes and hires a retread that he's already fired. So bizarre. I really don't get it.
Plus, I too don't understand where the "he's a good fundamentals coach" comes from. He had the best OL unit that the Boogs have arguably had in LONNNNNGGGGGGG time and they couldn't pass block worth ass. Stidham is gonna get rekt this fall
Corching is ‘crooting in this league and he’s embarrassingly bad at ‘crooting, so...
And he’s nothing more than “passable” as a technician, which means he has no business in his position at a program the caliber of Auburn. Which means he fits right in with our current HC.
Well, your problem there is that JGT is wrong more than he’s right.
The run game did flourish when JB was here so hopefully that will be better than the shit show we saw more often than not while Herb was at the helm. Stidham better buy more insurance.
So any other changes in the near future? ST is in desperate need of attention. Also figured Horton will move out at some point. Guess I shouldn’t hope for too much to happen before Signing Day. Maybe a recruiter is waiting in the wings somewhere. Not gonna hold my breath though.
LOL, Nick Marshall bruh.
Keep seeing all these 5 star DBs signing everywhere but AU...feels bad
Jeff Grimes also left him some crazy good offensive line talent to work with. Greg Robinson, Shon Coleman, Reese Dismukes, Avery Young, and (gasp) even Chad Slade are all probably better than what's currently on the roster.
Cal Ashley and Prince Tega could be really good though
whatev...run game started to suck wind when we started moving away from the zone blocking schemes, there was no reason in the world that our line shouldn't have opened up huge holes for the RB's .
Other than being under talented and poorly coached I'd have to agree.
not saying he didn't have good pieces to work with, saying he got results with what he had.
JB Grimes had Nick Marshall to work with.
Hand had Always Injured Sean, Terrified Jeremy, and Statue Stidham.
And Grimes OL sucked when he had Jeremy Johnson and SW.
It's not an apples to apples to comparison.
