Aranda dodges a bullet but has to sacrifice his OC Jeff Grimes in the process.

The auburn Meddler Club will 100% start pushing Freeze to hire Grimes to replace Montgomery.
 
Curious to how the A&M fanbase and boosters will see this hire... My guess is mixed?

Most will like it. Personally, Iโ€™d grade it a C+ hire. Elko having experience there and having an understanding of their weird culture is a plus, but itโ€™s not like his past is deep rooted in College Station. He and Traylor were always the โ€œfloorโ€ of the possible hires, they knew theyโ€™d get a YES from either. Personally, of the 2, I think Iโ€™d have take a chance on Traylor, but both are gambles. Then again, pretty much anyone else would be as well, especially there.
 
Ok remind me who Grimes and why this is something to be concerned about?

Former auburn OL coach who was/is beloved by the mega boosters. There was a push by some to have him hired as HC before Freeze. Heโ€™s considered an โ€œauburn manโ€ basically.

I bet the only reason these two coaches went to these teams. Don't play Bama next year unless it in the SEC Championship game.
