Probably wanted the job but the Bengals undoubtedly low balled him, they are cheap as hell.
The problem with that is that when you're depending on CJ McWilliams to hold down the backside with Stiner and Taylor, the odds shift further against you. Also when you have Felipe at QB, let's just say a track meet is not where you want to be, especially with our slow starts.I think Grantham is a good fit here. Going back to the 80s I think our defenses have always been better with an aggressive, blitz heavy gambling style. It fits our smaller but faster athletes better than getting ground down with the conservative bend but don't break philosophy. Yeah, we might get burned from time to time, but defensive kids really enjoy bringing the heat, top corners like playing man coverage, and at least we won't be spent in the fourth quarter. But for the most part, Grantham seems to me to have used controlled aggression rather than being reckless. In game I think he's done a pretty good job.
Two things:
1. No way they are cheaper than us.
2. Maybe he realized Cincy is the gooch that connects Ohio and Kentucky.
ESPN says it came down to family. Family likes it in Hogtown. Grantham pulled a Donovan and stayed.Probably wanted the job but the Bengals undoubtedly low balled him, they are cheap as hell.
You do know Cleveland improved when he came on in 2005.I cant imagine Grantham's defense working in the NFL.

Face it: you can’t imagine anything positive hapenning under Grantham, even while it’s happening.I cant imagine Grantham's defense working in the NFL.
They already bumped him up to 1.8 a month or so ago. Either way his kid is at Buchholz as a junior ftb player and his daughter is a freshman there. Uprooting his kid from a Florida school to an Ohio school when he has d1 aspirations was probably 1 reason hereI bet he gets a raise out of this.
