It is trendy to mock Grantham, and I do a lot of it myself, but he did an excellent job with our D in 2011. 2012 I’d argue he had more flaws but still solid work. As you said, the 2013 problems were mostly limited to one unit (DBs) but that was just truly unacceptable. For the DBs to be THAT bad changed a lot of minds on Grantham.

Plus it was inexcusable crap like not being lined up coming out of a kickoff, or always being out of position. That is normally on coaching.

Not wholeheartedly disagreeing, but having Jarvis Jones helped Grantham's cause tremendously. Obviously you could expect a drop off on any defense when you lose a talent like Jones, but Jones' presence in 2011 and 2012 masked some issues with Grantham then. In my opinion, anyway.
