From 1991 to 1994, Limegrover spent his first four years of his coaching career at his alma mater, Chicago, serving in a variety of roles that included interim
head coach,
offensive coordinator,
offensive line coach and
tight ends coach. The following two seasons Limegrover served as a
graduate assistant for the
Northwestern Wildcats and head coach
Gary Barnett who won back-to-back
Big Ten Championships in
1995 and
1996. From there Limegrover served as the run game coordinator and offensive line coach for
Ferris State in 1997 and 1998. As offensive coordinator from 2001 to 2007l Limegrover guided
Southern Illinois to six consecutive seasons finishing in the top ten in scoring, nationally. Limegrover spent four seasons at Penn State during which time he saw his offensive line unit help the Nittany Lions capture the
2016 Big Ten title. Limegrover and the Nittany Lions team would experience more success in the
2017 season, going 11-2 and finishing with a
Fiesta Bowl victory. In
2018, Penn State saw its best rushing production in 10 years, averaging 204.9 yards per game. That was good enough to finish 29th nationally, and fifth in the Big Ten. That season the offensive line was led by center
Connor McGovern, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the
2019 NFL draft, and tackle
Ryan Bates. Despite an
11-2 record and Penn State putting up nearly 400 rushing yards in a victory over
Memphis in the
Cotton Bowl Classic, the Nittany Lions did not renew Limegrover's contract at the conclusion of the 2019 season. After spending a year as an analyst on
Jim Harbaugh's
Michigan staff, Limegrover joined
Butch Jones' inaugural
Arkansas State staff as the offensive line coach for the
2021 season. In 2023 he joined
Kenni Burns' coaching staff at
Kent State as co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. ==References==
