This may have been asked and I missed it, but would TBuck's ties to Louisville have opened up this opportunity? Just curious if that could have played a part in even being able to have Grantham's name mentioned.

Good if true, and it's feasible because I consider MSU to be a step up from Louisville. Sure, they've had a couple good years lately but so have we. The mystery is, why would Colorado hire the guy who's been our worst DC ever? Must be friends with the new coach there.Quote:

I believe L'ville's athletic budget is over $100M...Quote:

Colorado isn't hiring Ron Cooper.** And who cares if they are? Like I said they are having trouble filling their DC position for whatever reason. They are getting a guy with SEC and USC experience who is a good recruiter. And Sirmon will be closer to home. Hopefully it turns out well for all.Quote:

I literally can't believe we are hiring this guy. I laughed when his name popped up thinking yeah right. Never in my wildest dreams would I thought he was a realistic hire.
Grantham was run out of UGA, with UGA talent.
Yeah, we need to slow down a bit. It's a good hire, he's a good coach. But he's not going to transform us into a defensive juggernaut.Quote:

Lock Down the State needs to be our motto for the next few years.Quote:

Thankless job for sure. Your right, the game has changedQuote:

Nail on the head. Every team gonna give up yards the way the game is today. Points allowed is the only stat that matters and where you rank in your conference nationally on defense.Quote:
