Vitt can still coach the ILB...in a 3-4 u have a position coach for Inside/Outside

If the callers on 92.9 The Game in Atlanta are an accurate indication, the vast majority of Georgia Bulldog fans just gave a big "sigh" in disappointment at this news.

RT @RapSheet: Nothing is official. But Rob Ryan has told at least 1 person he believes he's getting the #Saints DC job. And Grantham is now out. So...

Meaning they wanted him gone?

Meaning they wanted him gone?

Yes, I heard that earlier today. Someone mentioned it in another thread about Grantham. Seems many UGA fans thought he couldn't stop the run and wanted him out.

Of course on the flip side, I've read in the last few days that some fans were not happy that he may leave. So like any change in coaching, fans are split, just like many of us are with the possibility of Ryan taking over.

 

[DrummerRick]

It's this guy.

He's going to bring some nastiness to our Defense.

Can he play safety?

 

[Saints 4 life]

If Ryan is the man, I repeat... I'm cool with it.

 

[ATL-St.Fan]

I am cool with this news as I personally was not sold on Grantham and preferred Ryan anyway.

*** 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 This is where our heart is and today I have withdrawn my name from consideration for the position with the Saints.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."

Did UGA offer him more money to stay?

Lol we got played.

 

[Saints 4 life]

Lol we got played.

We've been through worse (Goodell'd)

 

[Franke44]

Ha! He new he was not getting the job!! Like it was reported, he was just a bargaining chip for the Saints to use when working a contract with Rob Ryan.

The Saints do not need a bargaining chip, they hold all the cards.

 

[dajmno]

Lets go get Kirbey Smart.
