After a one-year stint with the Alabama Crimson Tide as a defensive analyst, Todd Grantham will return to the NFL. Grantham will join the New Orleans Saints staff as their defensive line coach.
Grantham had been rumored to be an option for the Crimson Tide defensive coordinator position, but ultimately decided on an NFL return. The Crimson Tide faithful didn’t seem to respond too well to the idea of Grantham as the defensive coordinator, so both sides probably win here.
As for Alabama, the defensive coordinator position remains available and your guess is as good as mine for who will fill this role.
Todd Grantham, who interviewed for the @AlabamaFTBL DC job, has decided to return to the NFL as an assistant with the New Orleans Saints, sources tell ESPN. Grantham was an analyst at Bama last season. He worked in the NFL for 11 seasons and was DC at three different SEC schools.
