ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia football coach Mark Richt was unable to address the 100-plus fans milling around the Butts-Mehre athletic complex after undergoing surgery for a hip replacement last Saturday.
That left offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham fielding questions from the eager spectators, and Grantham was asked if he planned to stick around for a few more years. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Tuesday night that Saints coach Sean Payton will interview Grantham for his defensive coordinator vacancy on Thursday.
“My family loves it here, and I like it here a lot,” Grantham said. “This is a very special place, and I think today needs to be focused on the players that we’ve got here right now and trying to get back to Atlanta.”
The Bulldogs had 31 signees as of lunchtime today, including 30 who were previously committed. The lone newcomer was offensive tackle DeVondre Seymour of Suwanee, Ga., a 6-foot-5, 295-pounder rated the No. 14 tackle prospect nationally by ESPN.
