I loved Grimes in the interview, he is the kind of guy I think of when I hear Offensive Line Coach
In a related note, if you watch the presser, it is worth it to wait until the very end because Antone Exum is a riot.![]()
Is it just me or does Jeff Grimes sport a striking resemblance to Tony Robbins?
“I really want to be at a place where I can go recruit a guy, develop him and watch him graduate, go to the NFL, win and go get another one,” Loeffler said. “But the bouncing? I’m ready to sit for a while to say the least. I’m ready to go back and do what I did when I was in Ann Arbor.”
“The wonderful thing we have going with Logan is that there are some things that he does really good, and the things that he needs to work on, you can fix quickly,” Loeffler said. “It’s not like we’re recreating a motion or something of that nature."
retention bonuses for both Grimes and Moorehead reportedly 50k if they are still here Jan 1, 2015.
Teel Time: Auburn contracts save Virginia Tech big money on Loeffler, Grimes hiriings - dailypress.com
Once it kicks in, Loeffler’s $400,000 salary at Tech will be mid-range by current ACC standards. But there was no chance the Hokies would pay him more than renowned defensive coordinator Bud Foster, who last season made $502,762.
From USA Today’s database, here are the 2012 base salaries for offensive coordinators at the ACC’s other public schools:
North Carolina’s Blake Anderson: $250,000.
North Carolina State’s Dana Bible: $334,392.
Florida State’s James Coley: $351,650. Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher calls the plays, and earlier this week Coley left FSU, his alma mater, to become Miami’s offensive coordinator. Since Miami is a private school, no word on Coley’s pay there.
There is a many meltdown going on down in Tallyhassee right now. an OC leaving his alma mater for the enemy?? Are you FK me? Word is Jimbo is a total power-trippin micro managing dick and hard/terrible to work for. This is how many assistants he has lost this offseason? Many of them taking lateral moves.
Virginia’s Bill Lazor: $458,350.
LMAO. UVA has to be the most overpaid staff in the country. What is that A HC, Assistant HC/OC and OC all getting paid a combined 5 mill a year??
Maryland’s Mike Locksley: $507,440.
That is probably not counting 100k in bonuses for making the Rivals/Scouts/247 recruiting Top 25..think his recruiting work is a little shady?? Prolly. Most of their coaching staff is a joke IMO. I give them 1, maybe (big maybe) 2 years.
Clemson’s Chad Morris: $1,306,500.
Good coach, but WAAAAAAY overpaid. He will be exposed when Boyd and Watkins leave after next year IMO.
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson doesn’t have an offensive coordinator and calls the Yellow Jackets’ plays. Quarterbacks coach Brian Bohannon was his highest-paid offensive assistant in 2012 at $212,500.
PJ's doucheness and ego wouldn't lower himself to let someone else call his plays. Plus he can save the OC salary for his own overpaid ass.
For total assistants’ pay in 2012, Tech ranked third among ACC public schools at $2,411,046, behind Florida State’s $3,042,050 and Clemson’s $4,181,750. Virginia was sixth at $2,166,138, but the Cavaliers upped the ante considerably with recent hirings of associate head coach for offense Tom O’Brien and defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta.
How is UVA not in the top 2 or 3?? They must not pay any not named "coordinator" over a 100k a year.
EDIT: After closer look, Not sure UVAs # is taking into account the new hires.They will probably be in there after this year
I'm guessing VT will bump their base salaries considerably when the Auburn payments go away -- at least to match what they're currently getting. I'm assuming they'll be successful.
I think this is a winning deal all around.
Their salaries go down when the Auburn payments go away. For Grimes, that is just a few months away. For Loeffler, only a year and a half. There is zero chance that Grimes's contract is reworked in 5 months and little that Loeffler's is in 2014. Longer-term, maybe.
