The defense has made strides this season. Leonard Floyd staying home on the read option shows that there has been some coaching however the severe lack of fundamentals on the final play shows that going into the timeout not one coach mentioned knock it down if it is near you. He will probably be fired but the team should be better next season.

At least Grantham has been there now for almost 4 years, so you and the AD has some data to back up decisions/opinions.

2013 UGA Ranks
53 Total Defense
36 Rushing Defense
72 Passing Eff Defense
82 Scoring Defense

2012 UGA Ranks
32 Total Defense
77 Rushing Defense
37 Pass Eff Defense
18 Scoring Defense

2011 UGA Ranks
5 Total Defense
11 Rushing Defense
4 Pass Eff Defense
23 Scoring Defense

2010 UGA Ranks
23 Total Defense
56 Rushing Defense
48 Pass Eff Defense
36 Scoring Defense

So Grantham's Defense over the past 4 years has an Avg Rank of:
28 Total Defense
45 Rushing Defense
43 Passing Eff Defense
40 Scoring Defense

That's not terrible, it's above avg on all categories, but what might be more alarming for some is the trend. His best 2 defenses were in '10 and '11. There was a big drop off from '11's to '12's, but then '13's is even worse than '12's.
