Todd Grantham possible new DC?

[Gutter Cobreh]

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.

[RocketDawg]

Thread on the pack saying he will be our new DC. We will see.

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.

He had great success in the Pac 12, and is known as a top-notch recruiter. He may just be a better fit in the Pac 12.

Have you checked his Wiki page to see? If it's there, it's official.

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

[Todd4State]

Absolute home run of a hire if true. And I thought I was maybe being unrealistic with Bob Diaco last night- turns out I was aiming too low. If he improves our defense even a little bit I think we get at least 8 wins next year.

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.

Until then- Todd4State = Todd4Grantham.

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.

His 3 years at Louisville:
Average Scoring D - 31st nationally
Average Total D - 13th nationally

I'm taking both of those every day and twice on Sunday.

Yeah, I'm dumb. Don't pay me any attention.

Yeah, bottom line, we couldn't have expected a much better hire than this. Especially since Dan seems committed to the 3-4

Perhaps Mullen and Cohen see the HUGE (YUGE as Trump would say) opportunity MSU has with OM being on the verge of the abyss, and are making moves to take advantage in the near future.

And they're idiots.

And they're idiots.

And David Cutcliffe was run out of Oxford because he "didn't have a plan". Sometimes you don't know what you have until it is gone...

I think a lot of times people get frustrated with their Defensive coordinators because they all want a shut down defense like we used to see in the old days and that's just not the game today. You have to look at where you are statistically in comparison to the rest of The country. Anyone at Georgia or Louisville that wanted him gone are idiots.

Thankless job for sure. Your right, the game has changed

This would be the best hire of the Mullen era. He's a great coach, great recruiter, he knows the sec and he brings instant name recognition and credibility!
