January 11, 20179 yr Per ESPN. Heading to MSU for the same position as DC. Cant say I'm at all bothered by this.
January 11, 20179 yr And apparently Louisville is going to hire MSU's defensive coordinator? What? Now that's just weird. Heard rumors of Grantham's departure last night. Not surprising but I'm curious about the circumstances. Petrino REALLY hates losing to Kentucky and Grantham's failures were a big part of that.
January 11, 20179 yr Author Apparently UofL had shown interest in MSU's DC prior to the end of the year. Sounds like they are just taking Grantham as his replacement, as weird as that is. Also adding former South Carolina DC Lorenzo Ward as secondary coach.

Forgive me if I'm not impressed.

January 11, 20179 yr Looking up the guy's bio, Peter Sirmon has had a pretty quick rise to a top coordinator position so maybe one mediocre year at MSU is not the story. He was the linebackers coach at Southern Cal before than and has experience at Washington and Tennessee. He was the recruiting coordinator while he was at USC too. Apparently Petrino and Jurich have been looking at him for a long time so maybe I'm too quick to judge based off one season in Starkville.

Apparently Petrino and Jurich have been looking at him for a long time so maybe I'm too quick to judge based off one season in Starkville. Once I found out he was only at MSU one season, I pretty much threw out the defensive stats they had. Now he may suck, but one year isn't enough to decide that.
January 12, 20179 yr Former South Carolina defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward brought on as defensive backs coach.

Sirmon is one of Sark's Animal House fraternity brothers from Washington and USC.
January 12, 20179 yr Sirmon is one of Sark's Animal House fraternity brothers from Washington and USC. As a USC fan, what do you know about him? What are we getting?
January 12, 20179 yr As a USC fan, what do you know about him? What are we getting? Personally, he is not as good as Grantham, IMHO. He does too many off field activities to do his job well. When he is in town, better check all the local watering holes.
