Names to watch for #Eagles DC: UGA's Todd Grantham, UF's Dan Quinn. Both schooled in stopping spread offenses, both with NFL experience

Matt Lombardo ‏@MattLombardo975
DC will now be Kelly and the #Eagles most important hire. Name I am hearing that's bantied around most inside Novacare is Todd Grantham UGA

Pete Roussel ‏@coachingsearch
Don't be surprised if Mark Whipple ends up on Chip Kelly's staff in Philadelphia.

Whipple was an offensive assistant with the Eagles in 2007-2008. He's been the Browns' QBs coach the past 2 years. He was New Hampshire's OC from 1986-87. Around that time, Kelly was a defensive back at New Hampshire.

UGA plays pretty ferocious defense wouldn't be disappointed seeing either Grantham or Quinn here, I'm a huge Gators fan and we all know how good Quinns defense was all season up until that Louisville game

[LaxPlayerX3]

I'll take Grantham

[Lt.Kelleh]

isn't Grantham a 3-4 guy?

[eagles nut]

Grantham is a 3-4 guy but it's more of a one-gap attacking style that doesn't require the big 350 pound NT.

[KillerBirds11]

[DoctorWhom]

Does Georgia play defense?
I don't pay much attention to the SEC mess of teams. . .

the major part is questionable. hes been playing with it so who knows, that will be up the the eagles doctors and such.

[Selgae]

UGA plays very good defense

[philly_phan74]

If Grantham is the guy, good thing Chas Henry is no longer on the team. #Awkward

ummm yeah

[WR_please]

Seems like the perfect hire if they're moving to a 3-4.  NFL DC experience, has worked in the NFC East, and has shown the ability to stop spread offenses in college.

Grantham was an offensive lineman in college.   I was an offensive lineman in HS.

I know BFD.  But my point is, offensive linemen _know_ defense.

When you get your head rocked by an effin inebacker, your knowledge of football increases exponentially. Ask any O lineman.

I like Grantham as a DC.  He knows football.

[BirdGang45]

Would rather have Quinn.

[Sack that QB]

I trust Kelly to pick who he wants. He knows the college game obviously.

[BDAWK_4EVER]

I would be happy with that. Or Quinn from UF. Give me a real SEC DC!

I like Quinn myself, bring in Matt Elam!!
