Sirmon

[AFDawg]

Sirmon's defense will pair perfectly with the thin air in Colorado.

Hevesy is so good with recruits - surely he could help with hiring assistants

There's obviously a lot of smoke around this, but where are you seeing all the Colorado coaches following Sirmon?

Kind of buried in the middle, but I just skimmed thru on my lunch break.
Associate AD Lance S. Carl is in there.

And several CU fans and websites.

has there been anything from the university or are we going of how things look?

You should do a little less hanging up -- and a lot more listening.

You think the whole idea behind going to a 3-4 was something that was hatched by Sirmon? Obviously you do.

Just so I can keep up -- does Mullen let the DCs run their own scheme -- or does he force his scheme on them -- in your opinion? The narrative has gotten impossible to follow.

Not trying to

be an ***, but your friend has no idea. Let's get real.

When is the next coaching convention? Probably February or March? That's where Dan will go find some guy no one has ever heard of.

And they just talk about life. Nothing about football or what type defense they propose to run.

I'm not sure it matters who we hire since it's apparently only for one year.

Per source around football program, he packed up his office yesterday afternoon. He gone.

Poor Colorado fans... I can hear the press conference now, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we now introduce to you the leader of this past year's 110th rated total defense in all of FBS and your new Colorado DC, Peter Sirmon". Yep, that will get them fired up.

If this is true... And if we hire Grantham, someone with actual experience... My expectations for next season just took a leap.

Agreement . Im ready for Sirmon to be gone already. We knew it was going to happen like the sunrise.

 

[fedxdog]

i asked mullen at a memphis maroon club dinner about defense and he said the DC ran his (mullen's) scheme...period

 

[DawgatAuburn]

mullen should be banned from attending after the sirmon hire. im glad they "clicked" over shoes and t-ball, but that is how we end up like we did.

• [h=2]Mississippi State Bulldogs (2017–present)[/h]Grantham was hired by Dan Mullen to be the defensive coordinator at Mississippi State University. He was given a multi year deal, with financial details not yet disclosed. Ironically, Grantham's predecessor at Mississippi State, Peter Sirmon, was hired to be defensive coordinator at the University of Louisville after being terminated at Mississippi State. Grantham was hired by Mullen at the 2017 AFCA convention in Nashville, TN after the two "clicked" over shoes and t-ball[SUP][7][/SUP].

Looks like Colorado dodged a bullet.
