Dan Mullen is getting a new Defensive Coordinator. Peter Sirmon is likely heading to Colorado, and the Bulldogs have hired Louisville DC Todd Grantham to take his place as reported by Sports Illustrated. While Mullen should get lots of credit for bringing in a well established defensive coordinator, this says a lot about the direction John Cohen is going to drive his athletic department.
This piece isn’t about whether or not Todd Grantham will be a good defensive coordinator. Whether or not he will be is certainly up for debate, but there is no denying he is an upgrade over Peter Sirmon.
