Todd Grantham is leaving the staff of the NFL’s Saints to become the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, New Orleans interim coach Darren Rizzi said Monday.
Grantham has been defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns in the NFL and for Georgia, Louisville, Mississippi State and Florida at the college level. “He made the decision he wanted to get back into the college game,” Rizzi said. “He’s obviously been a coordinator before at a couple of really good college programs. Mike Gundy’s getting a great coach, and congratulations to Todd.”Grantham started this season as a defensive line coach for the Saints.
“He’s done a heck of a job here behind scenes here with the defensive staff,” Rizzi said. “But it’s certainly a great opportunity for him.” Grantham will replace Bryan Nardo and take over a unit that gave up a Big 12-worst 500.6 yards per contest during a 3-9 season.Brunt is an Associated Press sports writer covering major college and pro sports in Oklahoma, including the Thunder, Oklahoma Sooners, Oklahoma State Cowboys and Cowgirls and the Women’s College World Series.
