The mastermind behind the Gritz Blitz is headed north.
The AJC cited a report saying that former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville is headed to coach defense for the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Glanville will join the staff of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (where his old Atlanta OC June Jones is the head coach), and will hope to make their defense too legit...too legit to quit.
The former head coach of the Falcons oversaw the electric 1991 squad, which championed famed players like cornerback Deion “Primetime” Sanders and wideout Andre Rison. He was famous for his Grits Blitz mentality on defense, which sent a bevy of rushers in to collapse the pocket.
