Dan says that it was the offense that cost them the LSU game.
So, fire the entire incompetent coaching staff, and cancel the ships of all those bum players.
The AD needs to start over with a completely blank slate.
In fact, maybe the incompetent AD needs to go with the rest of the them....

No. Mullen is doing damage control before this season's end. Next week is an uphill struggle at best case all things considered. No reason for Mullen to go nuclear making things worse. Grantham has got to go. We've seen Mullen screaming at him on the sidelines recently already. Grantham sucks and runs an undisciplined pack of deer hounds that can't corner a buck in a high fence area.Dan says that it was the offense that cost them the LSU game.

IF Grantham is really so totally incompetent,,, then splain these facts to me Lucy(s).
Dan hired him at MsSt.
Dan rehired him when he took the UF job.
Dan got him a nice raise when the NFL came after Todd, to keep Todd at UF.
The AD has agreed with Dan and signed off with him on Todd every step of the way.
And looking at UF's defensive recruiting since Todd arrived, it seems that many top quality recruits don't agree with Todd's nay-sayers either....
So logic says that if Todd is so terrible that he needs to be fired and replaced, then why keep the ones that hired him, then rehired him, then got him a nice raise in order to keep him, and continue to stand behind him??? 🤓
Yep. Pretty aggressive with lots of blitzing and bringing pressure.Based on Grantham’s history/resume he seems like a short timer. Good for a few years and then it starts to go the other way. I’m not a huge Grantham fan but I’m not exactly sure who would be a great replacement at this point. Just about everybody’s defense is getting beat up pretty bad this year.

Nice spew little Lizzy, but as usual, you failed to address the prime question:

What you posted is nothing more than your own 'armchair' opinions, not actual facts.
Those opinions are 'outsider whining' with none of the inside FACTS that Dan is working with, and has been working with for 4 consecutive seasons.
Notes:
Took over a 'cluster' 4-7 loser team and produced a Top 10 in the Nation defense his 1st year.
Repeated that Top 10 finish in his 2nd year, still with McLame's recruits.
In the 3rd year, (Red Chinese Kung Flu), no spring etc, and still with mostly McLame recruits, the defense has dropped off so badly that the Team has 2 losses by 3 pts each, in the final minute of both games. And oh BTW, both losses were at least partially caused by McLame recruits mistakes (1 Off and 1 Def) that have nothing to do with Grantham's system or coaching.
The Gator D is still either #1 or #2 in the SEC in both sacks and TFL,,, so just terrible and totally incompetent...
And never let the facts or reality get in the way of a good whiny fan rant....

After watching him Driskel for a couple of years.... I don't think I do either. There are a lot of us that don't. ????
Yep, and what do those 2 dumb-azz HC's (DM & NS) know about the UF DC anyway.
Do you really think that they pay those 2 guys for what they know about coaching???
Some article from 2012 by a media-moron is what we should be going by,,, every time. 🤣
And that brain injury that Todd suffered last summer, making him forget everything that he ever knew about defense (Top 10 D in 2018-19) is the problem I guess. Hell, any fool off the street could have come in and taken over a cluster 4-7 teams D and put them in the Top 10 D's in the nation.
PS
Todd is the ONLY defensive coach (DC/DL). He coaches ever single position so anything that happens on the D is because he doesn't know chit about coaching defense....
And since he personally recruited every player on the current team, it's obviously his fault when they don't perform, or when they do something stupid to screw the pooch.
Thanks so much straightening me out by giving me your own totally unbiased, and full 'insider' knowledge on Todd's coaching abilities. Being totally blind makes it tough on me to get any of the calls correct.... 😇
Louisville fan here and long time Gators FB fan since the Pell days had a relative on that team. Man Grantham is such a liability we here at Louisville even couldn't stand his defense the Ga fan's warned us and we witnessed first hand the 3rd and Grantham . Petrino also tore into his butt due too him costing us games. He came on the scene here and excelled in the beginning using Charlie Stongs players once they departed he was exposed. And if he was that great of a coordinator he should have really thrived at Louisville considering we don't play the same teams he goes against in the SEC. He was a bust even at our school and we don't have near the expectations as a school like Florida.This article was from FOUR years ago:
Yes they lost some significant talent however that has nothing to do with his defensive unit as a whole. Looking lost not aligned properly calls coming in late with players out of position and most of that is for lack of discipline. It looks like the defense is being coached by a first time coordinator who was just promoted from GA status at times.
I won't bother to again list the 28 wins the team has against UT Martin in the last 2.5 years...
Natl Champ 15-0 LSU, with the Heisman QB, only beat UF by 14 Pts, at night in Death Valley.
12-2 Playoff team UGly beat UF by 7 Pts, and only scored 24 Pts in the game.
In both of those games, the SEC Officials made ZERO OL holding calls on LSU and UGly. Do you think that might have put a crimp in UF's SEC sack leaders D?
UT Martin my azzz.... 😏

Florida head coach Dan Mullen wants that to change. Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham says they are doing more. Mullen says it’s important to get more players on the field and to do it early in games.
You see it all the time with the Florida Gators offense. There are three different running backs that rotate for one position. There are at least two at every receiver position that rotate during the game. They now have three tight ends that have played a lot of football. Maybe not so much on the offensive line where continuity is such a huge deal, but talented players see the field on offense and get playing time early. Defensively, it seems that the rotations are usually few and far between unless there is someone missing from the contest for one reason or another. (that last is BS by the article writer pushing a narrative)
-----
Facts:
There are 20 players on the defense that have played in all 7 games.
There are 11 more players on defense that have played in 5-6 games.
There are 38 defensive players with appearance game time, (mop-up & future)
For the rest of the story....
Mullen, Grantham work on playing the young guys
It's important for the Gators to keep bodies fresh by getting more players on the field.247sports.com

Yep, Grantham is a total loser and he's an idiot when it comes to coaching defense,,, it's just so obvious.
However, dumb Dan has hired him to be his DC at 2 different SEC schools.
Dan could have easily dumped him upon leaving MsSt for UF, but he didn't.
Post 2019, several college and Pro teams made offers to Todd, a perfect chance for Dan to usher Todd out.
From Grantham's 'Official' UF Bio -- "Restoring the tradition of defensive excellence at the University of Florida, Todd Grantham’s impact in his first two seasons as UF’s Defensive Coordinator has been immense. In 2019, Florida finished 7th nationally in scoring defense (15.5 points) and has been one of the best teams in the nation at keeping its opponents out of the end zone, completing three shutouts in a season for the first time since 1988. (the bio writer is obviously a lying tool that really agrees with ooozzzz, among others).

And oh BTW, Dan recently got Todd a nice fat raise to reward him for this totally ignorant incompetence....
IIRC, didn't someone here also defend Butters McElwain?
