Grantham STAYING; assistant coach hires & fires

[Slug]

Urban Meyer apparently thinks highly of Chris Ash as a Defensive Coordinator:
Urban Meyer: Texas' Chris Ash was top coordinator hire in CFB

"I hired him. He came in and changed a lot of things on defense. Brought in rugby tackling."

McGriff is coming to be the bagman, as he has plenty of experience!!

Which is why I don't think the UAA will allow it, they want a "clean" program.

Which of those two words do you think would be more foreign to most of our defenders?

Yes

"Defense". Oh, you meant the highlighted words: tackling.

Wesley McGriff seems to be the hire

Wesley McGriff, Secondary Coach (FB), Auburn Tigers

 

[chferg]

nah probably a plan b but not a plan c

 

[neteng]

Can he coach?

Can he recruit? His lifetime recruiting is 6 **, 38 ***, 11 **** and 3 ***** according to 247. Im no expert but that doesn't look great.

Was recruiting coordinator at Vandy. Yep, he’ll fit right in on Mullinz staff.

 

[chferg]

i guess good thing neither are being hired for DC lol

 

[chferg]

I hear ya. Ash would probably get that title. Maybe two average DCs can make a better defense?

This co-DC thing is confusing. For those that are more in the know, is this a one on the field the other in the box type of thing. Is it a nod to how crappy grantham was at getting calls in from the sideline?

Is it true they told Dan to nut up, but he couldn’t. ;)

They should have said grow a pair

I could be wrong, but I feel like your first thought is correct. I think Mattison was in the booth while Strong was on the field when we had them in ‘05-06.
