At first I was happy with the hiring of Grantham. After seeing numerous posts about you guys glad to see him go and his stats the past couple of seasons, plus us giving him a million dollar 5 year contract, seems to me we are screwed? Is he as bad as you guys are saying? The ACC does not have the caliber of SEC defenses, so maybe his 3-4 scheme will be good enough in the league.

Please talk me into liking this hire

You will be writing the same posts in due time. Until then just hope Bobby can score more than the other team. Good luck

Lets just say... I thought he would have gotten fired after this season. I am shocked someone would hire him with more pay. Good luck with him.. you will need it.

Wish we had better news, buddy. Not sure what Bobby was thinking with this hire...

All I gotta say is, I am so very very sorry for you and good luck with third down. Or hail marys. Or passes from the 1.

Ok, just good luck with the whole stopping people thing.

Just go back and look at Georgia's final scores the past couple of years. Grantham is awful and a douche bag.

Pros - He knows his stuff and is a decent recruiter. Until this year, his players typically would rave about him.

Cons - His defense is either too complicated or he is terrible at teaching it on the college level. When your players struggle with it, he will point the finger at them in the media. Right or wrong, he has no accountability. If all the guys are struggling to learn the schemes its on the coach to make necessary changes.

The man is incapable of creating defensive signals by way of a poster board or any other creative manner like unique hand gestures.

His solution, graduate assistants hold towels side of his face. This went on for 3 years, enjoy!

To be fair to him, we had a good defense in '11, and a solid, but inconsistent, defense last year. This year was a fricking disaster, but I dunno how much of that was or was not on Lakatos as the DBs were easily the worst unit. The man has GOT to learn to fricking substitute though. That alone would greatly improve Grantham's defenses.
