UF coach Todd Grantham brings new attitude to Gators' defense

UF defensive coordinator Todd Grantham never has liked to play it safe.

Whether an opposing offense faces third-and-long or a school needs someone to fix its defense, Grantham likely is coming, with the aggressive style that defines him.

Gainesville is Grantham’s third stop in three years and fourth college since 2010. Each step of the way, he has put together a top-10 defense and enhanced his own bottom line.

Coach Dan Mullen signed to Grantham to a three-year, $4.47 million deal to turn around the Gators’ defensive fortunes like he did last season for Mullen at Mississippi State.
