Chip Kelly Targeting Todd Grantham As Defensive Coordinator

Chip Kelly is apparently getting right to work in putting together a coaching staff in Philadelphia.

His first target is University of Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, a league source told Comcast SportsNet's Derrick Gunn.

With Grantham at the helm, the Bulldogs finished 18th in the nation in scoring defense, giving up an average of 19.6 points per game.

All college coaches in Philly lol

 

Why would you not go after a pro coach? he is gonna learn that this is the nfl,which means not for long when you get outcoached on a weekly basis!

 

Well why couldnt he stay in the pros and get a dc spot 3yrs ago ?

 

Because he was a mediocre assistant

he was a DC for Browns for 3 years.

He helped their pass defense immensely, he also did good things for Houston while the Dline coach there. Check out the link

Just look up Todd_Grantham on wiki

Lovie is not coaching this year.

 

Lovie is a big name, doesn't mean he is big DC. IMO a better HC then DC. I was never blown away by him as a DC in St. Louis

Lovie isnt happening.

 

The browns ranked 11th in overall defense his first year as DC ... then 27th & 30th.

About the same in points allowed.

Not impressive.

 

He was not too highly thought of around Cleveland..

 

Reports are that Kelly wants to go with a 3-4 and is currently looking at NFL guys as well...

 

During Grantham's 2 seasons with Dallas, the Cowboys improved from 13th (2007) to 2nd (2009) in the league in points allowed.

 

I hate the 3-4.

 

Thats because Wade Phillips took over defensive playcalling
