Todd Grantham's responsibilities are changing under Darren Rizzi

Todd Grantham’s responsibilities are changing under Darren Rizzi. He’s moving from defensive line coach to an advisor role:

I’m good with the hire, after reviewing his stats on the dline he actually creates pressure and sacks the QB instead of filling gaps like the 3-3-5.

Also created a ton of turnovers at Louisville.

Buddy whose brother was at UF said the running joke on Todd was that it was “3rd and Grantham”. Guy could never get them off the field on 3rd down.

Hope and pray his time here is better

Optimistic about the D coach. Want to look at his draft prospect production.

Mullen’s big flaw was that he didn’t recruit. That is worrisome.

I think the NIL actually makes it easier to recruit. We should have plenty of money to be competitive

I agree. I think he was fired at Florida during the season. He will probably cost a lot. He was one of the very first DCs to make $1 million/year, with Louisville under Petrino. Just demoted in NO from DL coach to an “advisory” capacity.

This reminds me of when Les hired Bill Clay.

I read somewhere he was fired after a losing streak by Florida where the offense kept turning the ball over, so more of scapegoat.

Course I also read that 3rd down can be sucky with him so who knows.

That’s better than 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th down being sucky

I’ll admit I have no idea who the guy is, but just based on his age I’m curious if he will be able to relate to the younger players and if he knows anything about the portal.

Or... The rules have changed so much that NCAA is now actually more similar to the pros, so NFL coaches can actually relate MORE to the cfb game than ever before.

 

[aggiejet]

Its not just gundy making these calls now

Then who else is making those calls?

 

[Georgia Poke]

Yep, Todd Grantham is the reported DC hire. Current DL coach for the Saints. Lots of SEC experience with Florida, Miss St, Georgia, etc and NFL Dline experience.

He sucks. I don't know how he keeps getting hired.

This is my viewpoint as well. I think we start to see more crossover.

Did you see our D last year? He can’t do worse

Yes, I saw it, and I saw his defenses for several years with much better personnel.

My guess would be Chad. The Weiberg name carries some weight nationally in college athletics.

 

[PokeBloke]

Doesn’t seem like a regional or culture fit. Strange hire…

 

[Chairman of the Board]

He sucks. I don't know how he keeps getting hired.

and of course you know better than Nick Saban, Dan Mullen, Bobby Petrino, and Romeo Crennel

In our case, it's because his scheme starts with the number 3, which seems to be the primary (only?) criteria for Gundy.
