I guess every fan base has its sunshine pumpers.
And another:
"I wouldn't hold the 1 year as DC at MSU against him
we don?t really know how much control he had there with a defensive minded head coach, and it was just 1 year so he wouldn?t have had time to implement his system much or get many of his guys. Supposedly an elite recruiter, and with good southern connections that will always help."

These guys should just stick to following basketball.
After watching Houston treat them worse than Bama treated us last year? No thanks.Quote:

That last sentence caught my attention. Our five year average for recruiting as of 2016 class is 27th nationally. Louisvilles is 39th. In 2016 alone we were 28th and them 38th. They will have some serious buyers remorse come September.
Hey, give credit where credit is due, I heard that UMass and USA are in that hunt too!Quote:

I like unpredictable play callers. Sometimes it backfires tho. Hope he doesn't do it so much he then becomes predictable to do it. (Like QB draw against Bammer ****)Quote:

Apologies if this was discussed elsewhere but what is the story on Grantham's salary? I've seen it reported that he was making $1.3M at Louisville and will make $1.1M at State. Is that accurate? Reason he would take less to come to MSU?
Boy if Sirmon didn't like DM, wait till he gets his a$$ ripped by Bobby 'Harley Davidson' Petrino.
I've been told by someone I trust that we're about to close really strong. Seems like things are lining up well.
My UGA friends referred to MSU's new DC as "3rd and Grantham" because of the uncanny ability of teams to convert on 3rd down.Quote:

They act like he's never been a DC anywhere else. He's had far better defenses than those couple of years at UGA. I guess that's what you get from people that think Kirby Smart is an upgrade over Mark Richt.Quote:

Louisville was 10th nationally in 3rd down conversion % this season. We were 79th.
Louisville was 35th in '15.
Louisville was 10th in '14.
Georgia was 64th in '13
Georgia was 37th in '12
Georgia was 3rd in '11.
Georgia was 79th in '10.
So in 6 years, Grantham was bad in 2 years and 1 was Georgia's move to a 3-4
