Grantham is currently the D-Line coach for the Dallas Cowboys and, since Kirby Smart's rejection of an offer, the new "front-runner" for Georgia's DC job. He began his career at his alma mater, VA Tech, working his way to D-Line coach, a position he's held at Michigan State and 4 pro teams. He knows how to develop a line, has been part of some very successful systems, and has a strong defensive pedigree. While his teams might not have done well statistically (Texans and Browns), he has gotten a great deal from his players, with several posting career highs while under his tutelage. There is no doubt he would be a good hire, though anyone will be perceived as a disappointment after the flirtation with Smart.

UPDATE: It has been rumored that Grantham is now on a short list for a job with Pete Carroll in Seattle. Christ, can we get anyone? Now, I haven't seen this info anywhere reliable, only on boards. But, if it's true, Richt better go ahead and call the next guy on his list, just in case.
