Grimes named offensive line coach

Gene Chizik named Jeff Grimes as his offensive line coach, the school announced Sunday.

Grimes, 40, served as the assistant head coach, running game coordinator and offensive line coach at Colorado the last two seasons. The 16-year coaching veteran has had stints at BYU, Arizona State, Boise State, Texas A&M and Rice.

He is the eighth assistant coach hired by Chizik, leaving one spot — secondary — still vacant.
