A couple of the main points from Grantham’s introductory teleconference before a players reactions teleconference at 6.

- Grantham said he will coach the linebackers.

- Georgia will now operate out of the 3-4 base.

- He wants to play an aggressive, accountable defense that offenses walk off the field “hoping they never have to play again.”

- He said he was really attracted to the Georgia job because he’s watched all the talent on tape in the NFL that has come out of the state over the last 11 years in the NFL and sees a huge opportunity.

- Another thing that attracted him to Georgia was recruiting. He said in the NFL it’s hard to rebuild a program but in college, you can rebuild a defense quickly because if you work hard, you can go out and sign as many playmakers as you need.

- Brad Johnson (Richt’s brother-in-law) played in Dallas last season and was highly impressed with Grantham. Richt said Johnson’s recommendation and thoughts on Grantham made him really excited about the possibility of Grantham from the start.

More to come later tonight when I get a chance to finish transcribing the Grantham’s and the player’s teleconferences.
