Talent being equal I think Grantham is a better def coordinator than Shoop. 17 no I would not admit this last year. Still have some confidence in Shoop but it is fading.

They’re both good. We’ve seen plenty of bad DCs over the years - I’ll take either of those guys.

Shoop did better with mostly the same people than Grantham did, way better. They were a year older though, so it's a wash.

Last year I would have told you I preferred shoop but I’m concerned about the horrible tackling we have this year.

Shoop? Kidding me? No defensive line push, no tackling and for sure corner backs can’t cover a turtle! And safeties regularly out of position. I guess that leaves linebackers and defensive tight ends. But hey if that’s what you call a SEC defense. OK whatever!

I like Shoop but my biggest issue right now is our tackling. That's a pretty quantifiable area that we've regressed.

And the real tuff guys always show up calling others names! You are the freaking idiot! Keep on being an apologist for sub par coaching. Excuse after excuse. You really believe after the Auburn game that we have great defense?

We've regressed, but with a LOT of new players. I expect our defense to slowly improve as the season goes on. I hope we see the same from the offense.

Bob Shoop is a jabber, dancer; finesse fighter waiting for the right shot.

Grantham is a bruiser, powerful right hand; unpredictable.

Shoop would draw blood first with a sucker jab to the left eye. Grantham would outlast a fury of wild punches and overpower Shoop with relentless body blows culminating in a devastating right hand to the brow, knocking out Shoop in the 4th round.
