Todd Grantham
Jeffrey Todd Grantham (born September 13, 1966) is an American football coach who was the defensive coordinator for Oklahoma State. He has previously served as defensive coordinator at the University of Florida.
Grantham was born in Pulaski, Virginia, and attended nearby Virginia Tech from 1984 to 1988. He played for Frank Beamer in Beamer's first season as head coach. He graduated from Virginia Tech in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts in Sports Management. Grantham earned Second Team All-South Independent, All-American honors his senior year at tackle.
From 1990 to 1995 Grantham worked as a coach at his alma mater.
Grantham worked as the defensive line coach for Michigan State in 1996 and 1997.
After being promoted to assistant head coach at Michigan State, Grantham was hired by Jim Mora in 1998 to coach the defensive line. His D-Line was one of the catalysts of the biggest turnaround in league history (3–13 to 13–3), ultimately helping the Colts defense compile 56 sacks in two years, which was a club record since moving to Indianapolis. During his tenure in Indianapolis, the Colts had a 29–19 record.
After Mora was relieved of his duties in Indianapolis, Grantham moved on to the newly formed Houston Texans, joining the staff of former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator and inaugural Carolina Panthers head coach Dom Capers. Grantham was given much talent to work with from the start, as the Texans acquired Pro Bowl defensive end Gary Walker and nose tackle Seth Payne from the Jacksonville Jaguars in the expansion draft.
In 2002, his influence was evident on the line as starters Gary Walker, Seth Payne, and Jerry DeLoach all posted career highs in tackles. Gary Walker also earned his second Pro Bowl appearance under his tutelage that season.
2003 was a testing year for the line, as Pro Bowler Gary Walker and Seth Payne played a combined six games due to injury. However, Jerry Deloach and Steve Martin filled in with great success, posting a combined 201 tackles. Despite the 5–11 record, there was optimism for the future of the steadily improving defense.
