After 9 years of data we paid this douche canoe $6 Million a year. If you go back to look at 2017 and you see a good number of the posters here hated the hire for the exact reason this fucher is showing now. He isn't a elite or a leader, he is just another dude collecting a paycheck living off being a guy who worked for a dude who was elite.

Yes we have a chance to have a good defense if we had a defensive coach worth a ****. Grantham whole defense is pressure on the qb force throws. We obviously can't do that so his defense needs to change but does it no he calls all out blitzes on 2nd downs and drops into zone coverage on 3rd downs making it easy to convert. I'm fine with our defense sucking but 90% is the packages they are put in. Damn man on man if we get beat on a pass we get beat but hell bump em knock em off their route make them earn the completion. Don't stand 10yds away and watch them catch it

His track record is he’s usually decent the first couple years and causes “havoc”....his third year he regresses or moves on...so what is “Third and Grantham” in a literal sense? More likely his career trajectory

The reality is that I need to stop paying any attention to his public statements. Because only a buffoon throws his personnel under the bus publicly. Privately could and should be a different story.
What I am paying attention to is his actions. And into his 3rd year, sub par defensive performance and recruiting, he's done very little to correct glaring flaws. Hence, "Yep, Dan's the problem."

I can somewhat appreciate him wanting to stand up for the D players, but the sad fact is that Ol’ Miss is the best O we’ve faced. USCe was better prepared than they were good, I believe. TAMU was probably better than USCe and their run game was the best of the three opponents.
We’ve given up 993 total passing yds, 492 total rushing yds (1485 total for an avg of 495 / game) and allowed 86 first downs. Opponents are converting 58.7% on third down and 75.0% on fourth). Bottom line is that you can beat the weak sisters, with our offense, giving up an average of roughly 500 / game. But the better offensive teams are a toss up using this small sample size (almost 1/3 of the season) and we are 1-1 in those games at this point. What will happen if we get to play UGA, arguably the strongest D we would face at that point?
We are severely unbalanced, so much so that despite the abilities (or shortcomings) of the D staff, there is imo only so much immediate improvement that can be made. Certainly we can improve individual and team tackling. Coverage can get better, but will probably be slower. It is improbable for them to get bigger and stronger in-season.
Playing it back, much of the fault is in defensive recruiting targets and misses, but some question surrounds whether Grantham was overruled on specific recruiting targets (Mullen’s error), whether he was in error on his targets, and / or whether he was lax in his efforts? However it is, there is obviously new strategy and effort necessary.
