We Goin' To The Ship!!!!

Tom Dienhart of Rivals is reporting that Georgia's next DC will be Dallas Cowboys DL coach Todd Grantham. He says the deal is already signed. It is for 3 years and he will be the 3rd highest paid DC in the country. I'm not sure when the press conference will be.

Obviously this wasn't our 1st choice. The guy has only been a DC once for the Cleveland Browns from '05-'07 and he was fired. CTG hasn't coached at the college level since '98 when he was at Michigan St. with that asshat Nick Saban. Therefore, it may take him some time to back in the flow of recruiting.

Having said all of that, I am VERY happy with the hire. Truthfully, I would have taken anybody over Willie. The guy has coached under Frank Beamer/Bud Foster, Nick Saban, and Dom Capers, 3 of the greatest defensive minds in all of football so I'm sure he picked up a thing or two along the way. Beamer and Saban have both vouched for him and apparently he was Saban's first choice to be his DC when he took the Dolphins' job.

Perhaps the best thing I've heard about the guy is that apparently he's a real asshole and a tough, hard-nosed coach. It starts with the mentality on defense, the swagger. We can worry about scheme later.

Something to ponder, with CTG being a DL coach, where does that leave CRG? Don't forget Tennessee, CRG's old stomping grounds, still has an entire coaching staff to fill. It's so close to signing day, if CRG does leave I don't think it will have a huge impact.

Now all we got to do is get rid of that dead weight Van Halanger guy. F*** it. I'm on board. Sugar in 2010, MNC in 2011. Place your bets.
