AJC this morning:

Todd Grantham is not going anywhere and Davin Bellamy very likely will sign with the Georgia Bulldogs later this morning.

That was the word from Bridgett Bellamy Wednesday morning. She is Davin Bellamy's mother and she sprang into action last night when reports circulated that Grantham, Georgia's defensive coordinator and Bellamy's would-be position coach, was going to interview for the New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator position on Thursday.

"We got to the bottom of it," Mrs. Bellamy said over the phone from the hallways of Chamblee High, where Davin is scheduled to make his announcement at 11 a.m. "We spoke with Grantham, we spoke with (Bryan) McClendon, we've spoken with Mark Richt. There is no truth to that and it will not affect Davin's decision today."
.
.
"Coach Grantham talked to Davin and assured him that he had nothing to worry about and that he was staying at Georgia and he would be Davin's position coach," Mrs. Bellamy said. "He's been recruiting him now for several months and Davin has his word that he will be there when Davin starts at Georgia in the fall. I was glad to hear that."

...then this update an hour ago:

"Will you still be with us two or three years from now," a fan asked Grantham.

"You know what? I can tell you this, that my family loves it here; I like it here a lot; and this is a very special place and I think today needs to be focused on the players we've got here right now and trying to get back to Atlanta," Grantham said.

Of course, that is effectively saying nothing.

i dont think he was a serious candidate anyway for the birds but the 49ers refused the saints request to interview donatell for their DC position

[ice grillin you]

billy davis new DC

eagles want to dagger banner so bad

[SD]

Worst fears realised

[ice grillin you]

yeah they are a complete farce right now

[rjs246]

So, instead of Gus Bradley as the head coach and leading the defense, they have Chip Kelly and the farging Browns' LB coach?

This is going to be hilariously bad.

This probably means they'll be targeting JJ this year too then I would think.

So Grantham turns them down last minute, and they go with this clown.  Awesome
