    My UGA buddies were so pumped up when he was fired/left for UL.

    Could be but if Mullen wanted it bad enough and wanted to win bad enough he could kick in 300-500K of his own salary to a DC and still be making a boatload of money himself. Its not unprecedented, other head coaches have done that.

    We can pay our assistants more if we choose, but there's no point in paying what you don't have to. No one on our current staff is underpaid.

    The money is there to hire, retain, or buyout any coach there is. It's just a matter of letting go of it.

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

    Grantham would be an outstanding hire.

    Dick Lebeau? No

    Solid? Yes and solid is a huge upgrade for us. Also has good recruiting connections

    Grantham got to Georgia in '10 and stayed thru '13.

    Scoring defense...
    '09 -- 25.9 ppg
    '10 -- 22.1 ppg
    '11 -- 20.6 ppg
    '12 -- 19.6 ppg
    '13 -- 29.0 ppg

    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.

    If we want to compete in the SEC West, it is warranted because we aren't gonna attract upper level SEC capable defensive coordinators for 800K

    This is true. Grantham would be a huge upgrade over Sirmon. But if you talk to UGA people, they couldn't wait to get rid of him.

    It's better than 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Sirmon.

    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
