Todd Grantham Leaves Louisville; New Defensive Coordinator at Mississippi State

Mark BlankenbakerJanuary 11, 2017

There has been wide speculation that Todd Grantham would be leaving at season’s end, and now we have confirmation that Grantham will be moving on from Louisville. Coach Grantham will be joining Dan Mullen at Mississippi State. The Cards lost Defensive Backs Coach Terrell Buckley to the Bulldogs last season and recently lost Buckley’s replacement Keith Heyward to Willie Taggart and the Oregon Ducks.

Coach Grantham has been in Louisville since the 2014 season and has put together a dynamic defense during his tenure and continued a strong defensive tradition at UofL. We wish Coach Grantham the best in Starkville, MS.

TheCrunchZone.com will keep our readers abreast of any credible information on Grantham’s replacement. The Cardinals have had a Top 25 Defense for each of the past last 7 seasons.
