Honestly, this is good for Louisville. I never thought that Todd Grantham was all that great.

His D is pretty complex. Might work better at the NFL level. I don't think he's all that great though.

Not likely. He's jealous because he's burned his NFL bridges.

Can't imagine a single person liking Petrino.


Especially his wife.

And both Petrino and Grantham came out immediately and said that was not true and no idea why someone would report that.

Hope Grantham decides to stay at Louisville. He did a great job with our defense. Would be a blow

Meh, not 100% sure but some say it was over an injury to a Georgia player (who may or may not have been still on the ground at that time). Both "Gentlemen" had to be restrained.

As a Raiders fan, I wouldn't hate the hire. His system may be great for the NFL, and Del Rio is going oversee anything defensively and call a lot of the shots anyways.

Yes because Bobby Petrino has never made an untrue public statement ever, amiright?

Give it time. You'll want him gone sooner than later.

Franklin got in the face of UGA safety Shawn Williams after the game, so Grantham got in Franklin's face to get him to back off.

As a UGA fan, I had my issues with Grantham, but scheme and designing blitzes wasn't one of them. His playbook was way, way too complex for college football players who don't have 40 hours a week to learn it. He could be a good NFL DC, and Khalil Mack could be a fricking monster in his system.
