Paladin 3,307 Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Auburn defensive backs coach Wesley McGriff stepping away from on-the-field duties by:Justin Hokanson•15 minutes AUBURN — Auburn defensive backs coach Wesley McGriff is stepping away from his on-the-field duties temporarily, Auburn Live can confirm. Special teams coach Tanner Burns will replace McGriff and help with the cornerbacks. Veteran assistant coach Zac Etheridge already coaches the safeties and will help with the cornerbacks as well. Auburn Live heard rumblings of the move last week prior to the LSU game. McGriff was on the field during warmups before the LSU game working with the cornerbacks. He wasn’t seen participating as much as usual during the game. Then on Tuesday, McGriff was not seen at practice working with the cornerbacks leading into the Ole Miss game. “Wesley is no stranger to Auburn and the SEC and will bring a veteran presence to our staff,” Freeze said when he hired McGriff. “He has established himself over the last two decades as one of the top recruiters in our conference and brings great energy and enthusiasm to the table.” Edited October 19, 2023 by Paladin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,262 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Whatever the "personal issue" -- whether a health issue, family issue, or whatever, I hope he can work things out. The Auburn D has certainly played much better than the offense this year, and especially the secondary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Crime went to Roberts and said “Hey let’s make sure to cover Bowers in the second half” Roberts said “that was stupid and to leave him open” unbelievable 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on Hugh for handling the PR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU120289 542 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 No wonder Hugh looked deflated in the Ole Miss presser. Problems everywhere. That pressure builds. Hide his burner phones. 🤪 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,201 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 As long as they don’t start posting videos of Hugh running stadiums with the players and talking about taking the stairs I think everything will be fine. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,201 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 For real though Roberts is McGriff’s boss and Hugh is Roberts’ boss. If Hugh has an issue with anything Roberts is doing I’m sure he’ll address it. It’s the whole hierarchy thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,945 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 It took a full year for Derek Mason to bail on AU football. Crime is trying to do it after only 6 games. We really, really, really need to get our crap together. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
