Grantham concerns...

I don't know that I'd place much emphasis on what a college team's fans have to say about anything. As shortsighted and irrational as some pro football fans can be, I find that those who would describe themselves as primarily college fans are even more so.

Why is everyone throwing praise at the Georgia defense? They finished 6th in the SEC in total defense behind Alabama, LSU, Florida, South Carolina and Vandy.

Yet Georgia will be sending more defensive players to the draft this year than all the other teams in the SEC outside of LSU.

So he had loads of talent yet finished 6th in conference in defense?


They gave up 23 points to Buffalo and not the NFL team. They gave up 20 points to Florida Atlantic, they gave up 44 to Tennessee, 35 to South Carolina, 32 to Alabama and 31 to Nebraska. For a team that has Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree, John Jenkins, Baccarri Rambo, Kwame Geathers, Sanders Commings and Cornelius Washington who are all projected to be drafted that is horrible.

The last 8 years of being in the NFL he only coached on one team with a winning record and that was the 2007 Browns were he was fired after the team posted the 30th ranked defense.

It's not like he hasn't been a NFL defensive coordinator before either, he has a lot of experience and not much in the way of results.

These are the ranks of his defenses in the NFL as coordinator.
2002- 16th
2003- 31st
2004- 23rd
2005- 16th
2006- 27th
2007- 30th

So in 6 seasons as defensive coordinator he has:
0 top 15 defenses
4 bottom 10 defenses
2 defenses that finished dead in the middle

I'm not a fan of Georgia.
