I just shake my head when I hear someone say we have gaping holes everywhere on defense, or that we have absolutely no talent on defense.

The potential front three of Bunkley,Hicks and Jordan really excites me.If we can get a edge rusher and a good coverage MLB I think the unit looks pretty good on paper.Its pretty young and will need to play to its potential but I'm quite optimistic.
I'm not that keen on parts of the secondary but they have been hung out to dry at times with the amount of time the front 7 gave the opposing QB.

Sean is going to have to pull a rabbit to get him here...

Nick Saban was given a 5 year deal and made the highest paid college coach, at LSU, and said he would never leave. He left a year later. And he has pulled similar things at other places. Todd Grantham ain't the highest paid anything, and he's just a coordinator. I think he'd much prefer be a coordinator in the NFL, rather than College.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it matters if he told someone he won't leave. Personally, I don't think he's a good choice. But if he's offered, I'd be surprised if he turned it down.

(Saban might not have been a proper example, given his douchebaggery is legendary).

Yeah I think a more recent Chip Kelley is a perfect example. Said he was not leaving Oregon....couple weeks later he's doing a press conference with the Eagles.

I'm down with that.:p

Then change the team name to the ALA-SU Saints :)

What do you want them to say (after being pestered non-stop about it),

"Yeah, if the offer is good enough I'm a gone pecan"?

*** Grantham withdraws name from consideration for Saints job



Statement from*Todd Grantham*through UGA Sports Communications ..."I want to thank Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints organization for the opportunity to interview and get to know them. They are a first class organization in every respect. As I said Wednesday, Georgia is a great place, my family loves it here, and I do as well. This is where our heart is and today I have withdrawn my name from consideration for the position with the Saints. I'm excited to start preparations for another season and along with the rest of our defensive staff look forward to coaching some really good returning players as well as developing some very talented newcomers."
