The main problem with Grantham is we don't have 3-4 personnel . Nobody at nose and very light on numbers at linebacker.
If you're looking for a bright spot regarding him he tends to play a lot of press man, and doesn't concede the short easy throws.
In other words he doesn't have a bend don't break defensive mindset which with the right athletes should create turnovers .
We are a little better than we were. We could play three freshmen (Slaton, Campbell and Conliffe) next year and keep Wyoming and or Polite, maybe Zach Attack at the heavy end. Let all the micro Ends play Jack/Buck whatever he calls it in his scheme.
We dont have the two inside backers but we dont have the two inside backers for a 4-3 either. We just don't have two inside backers. I really think a lot of that could be fixed with a good strength coach and confident position coaching. the linebackers were terrible this year and got caught up inside all the time. Skipper needs to go imo unless we somehow cant keep Seider. If he stays, it cant be at LB.
Grantham is very much muschamp light and or any other of the little Sabans. I remember his front 7 being fair least out and having some problems in the secondary. That could have been nothing more than position coach problems.
Actually I like him better than Collins. Collins and that soft man off coverage just drove me nuts.
