I don't know if there is a consensus DC that we could hire that everyone would get behind. Everyone has flaws.
Kyle Whittingham for DCQuote:

Dick Lebeau? No

Seems grantham did a dang good job at Georgia until his 4th and final year. Not sure what happened there
This. I don't know if Grantham is the guy, but I truly believe we can pay $1MM+ for an assistant if that is what Mullen and Cohen thinks is needed/warranted.Quote:

Grantham brought a 3-4 to UGA and didn't have the right players for it. UGA looked lost for 2 years on D. Richt felt the heat and fired him. He's had better defenses since leaving UGA.
This would be a home run hire.
Is Rosebowl the only one reporting this? Not saying he hasn't been spot on with the NCAA stuff, but I just haven't seen this reported anywhere. Just rumors at this point?

Some of UL fan's comments:
I'm praying this happens. Our defense needs a makeover.
Wouldn't make much sense to turn down Oakland but go to miss st. Lateral move at best
I don't hate Grantham at all. Hope he stays.
I hope this happens. Maybe he'll take Klenakis with him
I will more than gladly eat my crow on #2Quote:

Todd Grantham Total Defense at UGA & Louisville
2010 - UGA 23rd
2011 - UGA 3rd
2012 - UGA 27th
2013 - UGA 45th
2014 - Louisville 6th
2015 - Louisville 18th
2016 - Louisville 14th
Can you guess which part of this quote will prevent him from ever working for Mullen?
Quote:
"I've been here two years, and since I've been here, we've been sixth in total D and 18th in total D," Grantham told ESPN.com. "Coach Petrino gives me full autonomy to run the defense the way I see fit. I do all the game plans with our defensive staff, and if you look, we've had a lot of success, and we really got a lot of energy moving forward. We beat two SEC teams at the end of the year, and we've got some guys that chose to come back. Things are moving in the right direction, and we've got a lot of energy moving forward."
You do realize Peter Sirmon reportedly makes 635K and that is the most we've paid a DC? Agree that 800K won't attract an upper level DC but it would at least be a good place to get to since it would be more than a 160K raise from what we pay now.Quote:

I don't disagree but 1 bad year out of 4 when your bad isn't that bad. Doesn't sound like a guy you should run off.Quote:

Grantham will not come for any amount of money if he can't run 100% of the defense.
What if Richt started getting into his knickers too much? Surprised his Lville numbers surpass his GA numbers.Quote:
