Dallas Cowboys defensive line coach Todd Grantham, an 11-year NFL coaching veteran with nine years college experience, has been named Georgia’s new defensive coordinator.
Grantham is in his second season with the Cowboys after spending three seasons as defensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns (2005-07) and six years as defensive line coach for both the Houston Texans (2002-04) and Indianapolis Colts (1999-01).
“I’m excited the search is over, we have our man, and look forward to what Todd will bring to our defense, our team, and our university,” Richt said. “I think it is particularly valuable that he has a wealth of experience on the defensive side of the ball at both the NFL and collegiate levels. Now we look forward to moving ahead with the home stretch of recruiting, finishing out the defensive staff, and getting ready for spring practice.”
