AUBURN, Ala. – In just three years, J.B. Grimes left his mark on the Auburn football program. From 2013 to 2015, the offensive line coach built a unit up front that anchored one of the top offenses in college football. During that stretch, the Tigers were consistently among the nation’s leaders in offense, averaging 261.7 yards rushing and 453.3 yards of total offense per game.

On Wednesday, Auburn announced that Grimes would be returning to his former role on Gus Malzahn’s coaching staff, and if the returning offensive linemen want to know what type of coach and what type of man he is, just take notes from some of his former players.
