Auburn set to hire new offensive line coach?

Auburn offensive line coach J.B. Grimes took the same job at Cincinnati on Monday morning, and it appears as if Penn State offensive line coach Herb Hand is going to replace him.

A report from USA Today early Monday afternoon has Hand — who formerly was the o-line coach at Vanderbilt — headed to the Plains.

Hearing more staff attrition from Penn State coming: OL coach Herb Hand headed toward a deal with Auburn, per person with knowledge.

Interestingly, while Hand’s lines at Vandy were considered overachieving, his lines at Penn State may have underperformed.
