Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive coordinator Todd Grantham will become the defensive coordinator for the Oklahoma State Cowboys under coach Mike Gundy. ESPN’s Chris Low first reported the move via social media.
Oklahoma State is coming off a brutal 3-9 season. The Cowboys had one of the worst defenses in the country and allowed at least 38 points in each of their final eight games, all losses.
Grantham became the New Orleans Saints’ defensive line coach in 2023, but the Saints fired coach Dennis Allen in early November, so Grantham’s future was uncertain at best.
Grantham served as the defensive coordinator for the Florida Gators from 2018-2021 before becoming an analyst for the Alabama Crimson Tide under Nick Saban in 2022.
Grantham was Georgia’s defensive coordinator from 2010-2013 during the Mark Richt era. Grantham, who played college football as an offensive lineman at Virginia Tech, has extensive college and NFL coaching experience.
