Football’s defensive coordinator Todd Grantham bolted Louisville for the same position at Mississippi State and Bobby Petrino has found a replacement. After MSU parted ways with their defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon, he has found a home at U of L.
Prior to coaching, Sirmon played at Oregon and seven seasons for the Tennessee Titans. Sirmon was the associate head coach, linebacker coach and recruiting coordinator for Southern California from 2014-2015. A well-known recruiter, Sirmon helped USC gain the top recruiting classes in both seasons.
In his first season as defensive coordinator, Sirmon the Bulldogs had the 110th overall defense in 2016.
