Todd Grantham, currently the d-line coach of the Dallas Cowboys, is set to become the third highest paid assistant in all of college football.<\/p>\n<p>Now the question that looms for Dawgs fans everywhere \u2013 is Grantham a good hire?  According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.ajc.com\/uga-sports-blog\/2010\/01\/15\/report-cowboys-grantham-accepts-uga-job\/\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/blogs.ajc.com\/uga-sports-blog\/2010\/01\/15\/report-cowboys-grantham-accepts-uga-job\/', 'ajc.com');\" target=\"_blank\">ajc.com<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Grantham, 43, started his coaching career under Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech (1990-95) and then coached under Nick Saban at Michigan State (1996-98). Since 1999, Grantham has coached in the NFL.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I know next to nothing about Grantham, but he has been under some solid college coaches and from a defensive perspective, Wade Phillips is no slouch.  Apparently <a href=\"http:\/\/cowboysblog.dallasnews.com\/archives\/2010\/01\/wade-phillips-on-todd-grantham-paul-pasq.html\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/cowboysblog.dallasnews.com\/archives\/2010\/01\/wade-phillips-on-todd-grantham-paul-pasq.html', 'Phillips thinks very highly of Grantham');\" target=\"_blank\">Phillips thinks very highly of Grantham<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s been great having Todd,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cHe\u2019s contributed a tremendous amount to the defense. He\u2019s grossly overqualified to be a defensive line coach. I knew he would be a coordinator pretty quickly or even a head coach. I think he\u2019s got all those qualities. We really appreciate what he\u2019s done and he\u2019ll finish up strong here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Knowing next to nothing about the Dawgs\u2019 new DC, I have to say that I like the hire.  He is young, and as previously mentioned, has worked under some top notch talent.  Keeping my fingers crossed that Grantham is very successful with the Dawgs!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Richt finally convinced someone to take the defensive coordinator job at the University of Georgia.
