    Grantham hired as UGA DC
    Its official.
    UGA hires Todd Grantham as the new DC.
    Grantham will finish out the Cowboys season and than get to work as the Dawgs DC.



    On the Georgia beat with Seth Emerson


    "I look forward to -- not only with myself but with the people we bring in -- to developing an aggressive style of defense that all Bulldogs fans across the country can be excited to watch."

    no offical news on who he will bring in as his assistants yet but heard through the grapevine:
    he will be bringing in the Packers cornerback coach and the Saints DL coach.
    both have ties to the SEC and Saban

    rumor was that Saban was going to bring Grantham to Bama if Smart accepted the UGA job since he also has ties to Saban

          I am looking forward to next season however I believe it will be a couple of years till we see the impact of this new defensive coordinator since he will need to get defensive players for his style of defense.

              An excellent move by UGA. With most of the defensive line graduating, if UGA decides to go to a 3-4 defense, now is the perfect time to do it. I think if one of the UGA QB prospects can come through, UGA will definately be a player in the SEC this season. Florida got hit very hard with graduation and defenctions into the NFL. Tennessee is in disarray after losing both Kiffin and some of it's recruiting class. Alabama loses 8 starters on defense. LSU loses 7 starters on defense, and has a HC that will come up with new ways of mismanaging the clock and losing games. This could be the year of the upset in the SEC. UGA and Arkansas look very tempting.
