Thanks Dan.

I like this quote -

“Man, I love him,” said junior tackle Korey Cunningham. “I love that he’s hard on us and very precise with every little step we take. I have some friends that played for him at Auburn that said, ‘He’s going to get you to the next level.’ I’ve learned more with him over the last couple of days than I’ve learned in all of my years of playing football. He’s demanding and he’s going to get it out of us.”

Sounds like a great coaching pickup. Though "I’ve learned more with him over the last couple of days than I’ve learned in all of my years of playing football." doesn't say much for our previous coaches.

With all due respect to our former coaches, neither does our offensive line performance or the number of hits our QBs have taken year in and year out. Here's hoping Grimes can at least slow that down significantly

Great article as usual Dan!

If Boone can gash defenses to the tune of 8 ypc with our crappy line, imagine what he can do with a Grimes-coached line!!!

Yeah not trying to besmirch Darren Hiller but I never thought our OL was able to push the defensive line down the field on a running play the past three years. They were a little better at pass protection.

Will be interesting to see what type of recruits Grimes can bring in here. I always thought Hiller found some solid interior linemen but struggled to get tackles. Our current depth chart reflects that.

Hiller sucked and so did his Oline rotation theory.
