Why Grantham?
You may have questions about the process we have endured to finally name a DC at Georgia. You may even have questions about Todd Grantham himself. After all, his only stint as a Cleveland Browns DC was less than stellar in some people’s minds.
The only stat I need to see is the flowing:
Coaches who hired Todd Grantham
FrankBeamer/Bud Foster
Nick Saban
Romeo Crennel
Dom Capers
Wade Phillips
That’s a veritable who’s who of great defensive minds to have learned from and coach for. The fact that each of these men hired Todd Grantham, says it all to me. Congratulations to Coach Grantham and Coach Mark Richt!
Proceed with GATA! Go Dawgs!

Nick Saban tried to hire him at the Miami Dolphins…. and I also heard Nick made the call when Saban learned that Kirby Smart was considering UGA… that says alot.

This list who have hired him is all that needs to be said about this selection. You are right on target.

The 3-4 defense is not one I believe we have run at UGA before. At least not in recent memory. I like the fact that he used “aggressive, attacking and physical” when describing his defensive philosophy.
I hope Garner sticks around. It might take a bump in his pay to keep him, but I think he’s worth it.

We ran a 3-4 under Goff in the early 90s.

Agreed. This was the name I was most excited about when different names were tossed around. I love his experience. I think he has a lot to prove. And I actually think we can keep him for 3 years or so.
Go Dawgs!

Seems to be a good hire, maybe better than the ones who turned us down. Will Travis Jones come too?
