From what I've heard, Grantham has said he is not leaving Georgia. He has told all his players/media and said the same when recruiting.

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

If that were 100% true, he wouldn't be interviewing with us today.

Exactly....its not a coincidence that he scheduled his interview for the day after signing day. Get the kids he recruited for the school to sign that dotted line first. Then do what you have to do.

Chip Kelley said he wasn't leaving Oregon....guess what happen a couple weeks later.

And supposedly the only competition for Grantham's services was the Eagles....they wanted to interview him BEFORE signing day...he said no, and scheduled his interview with the Saints a day after signing day. Eagles just hired Browns LB coach as their DC today....we just so happen to have Grantham in the Saints facility as we speak.....

I highly doubt that is a coincidence. But saying that......it can go either 2 ways....he's our guy or he gets a raise from UGA.

Isn't that exactly what we would expect him to say?

I mean, he can't really go and say that he's going to be leaving as soon as he is offered a NFL coaching/coordinator position, because that would not bode well for recruitment or the school.

If he's interviewing, he's interested.

Translated in Sabanese or Urbanese or Chipkelliese - "I'm leaving Georgia"

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.

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"?

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
