Florida fans eagerly await end of Todd Grantham era after rough first half vs. Oklahoma
Florida trails Oklahoma 31-13 at halftime of Wednesday’s Cotton Bowl in Texas.
No, those 31 points aren’t all on the defense, as QB Kyle Trask threw a pick-6 and head coach Dan Mullen opted to attempt a 58-yard field goal late in the first half, giving the Sooners a short field to score the final touchdown of the half. Oh, and then there were all the opt-outs on both sides of the ball.
But, let’s just say Florida fans are still tired of DC Todd Grantham. There were plenty of calls to fire the embattled coordinator after the first 2 quarters of Wednesday’s game.
Here’s a look at a sampling of the reaction to the first half:
Fire Todd Grantham tomorrow please! https://t.co/zI6MFICNDs

Not sure if Todd Grantham will even make the airport tarmac after this one. #Florida #CottonBowl

can we leave todd grantham in 2020

This has to be Todd Grantham's last game as DC at Florida, right? This is the worst Florida defense in the past 70 yrs.

We’ll see what Florida decides to do after the season. But, fans have made it very clear what they want.
Bunch of picks and a bonehead call by the coach that led to the short field but sure, put it all on the defense.
Honestly they have looked better than the offense when Trask is on the field.
We will trade you Grantham for 8 cents and Negans mom
You know, if you’ll take Negan, It might be a worthwhile trade lol.
LOL! I would suggest you get Negan off of her before the trade.
No reruns at Georgia please. Grantham already had his chance in Athens. Now you know why he did not stay around.
Todd Granthams defense gave up 14 points. Dan Mullets offense gave up 17 points. Todd should Fire Dan
Oh, and Please go to my Save Todd goFundme page
I will double whatever your raise and put it towards Granthams buyout lol
don’t tell his wife NatureGator that I said this
Lol rumor has it Kirby wants him as an analyst leghumper
Sorry, 3rd n Grantham is still banned in Athens… (:
Hate to see Trask go out like this, he’s a classy kid.
He is, all Florida fans should be ecstatic with this season with trask and going 8-4. I’ve been dying to beat Georgia at least once, went toe to toe with bama, not to mention we’ve come a long way since mcelwain days. Already looking forward to the cocktail party next season
As am I Randyg8r, as am I…tough year in more ways than one! Stay safe stay well out there..
Thanks same to you happy new year and cheers
It’s not Grantham’s fault the committee put FLA in a game too big for their britches.
99% of Americans couldn’t find missouri on a map.
however, 99% of mizzouri residents have an equal chance of being your biological father
So are you saying Missouri and Alabama go hand in hand?
some call it “hand in hand”.
some call in “brother in sister”.
to each their own
Missouri sounds like they have a shortage of women.
Booches: “That thing got a pulse?”
Friend: “Are you talking about that dead opossum? No.”
Brooches: “Whatever man, just turn around for a minute…”
I love it when Alabama folks talk about other states! Pot, meet kettle.
I drove through it once, I wasnt sure if I was in Tennessee, Illinois or Arkansas. The interstate got all $#!++¥ and weird, looked at my phone and found out I was in Missouri…
Years ago I remember driving through the dumpster dive of a state. I remember this was the summer before there first year in the SEC. I remember seeing a huge billboard that said “Buy your season tickets and witness the take over of the SEC”. I laughed my butt off all the way back to Florida. Wonder if those signs are still there.
They have plenty of women, unfortunately men classify as woman these days and they got hit the hardest
But if 99% of Missouri residents have an equal chance of being their biological father, they are doing more than identifying.
Hahaha gotta love em
Say what you wish about him, but you can’t put this on him. 3 TOs in one quarter makes it tough to keep it close. Especially down as many starters as UF is down.
You can’t expect trask to bond as well with the second or third string wide receivers. I don’t think he cares about his draft stock he just wants to play
I don’t. The topic of the article is Grantham, not Trask. Those 3 TOs, dropped passes, and coaching decisions have made it impossible for the UF defense to stem the tide of points.
I’m hoping that is Florida fans get a late Christmas gift with firing grantham. That guy is starting to let our young stars leave for not getting playing time(not to mention are schemes and players having no idea of where to line up) perfect example is letting kimbrough go and letting a kid play who threw a shoe and left any way after the season.
Perhaps the bowls, at least the “New Years Six” or whatever should forego selecting teams until after the opt outs have happened.
I feel bad for Kyle Trask. Dude had no reason to play, yet he does and people want to bench him in a bowl game that means nothing.
Just another reason to love trask. Rivalries aside this kid has made the most out of what this university has offered him
That he has, and shown an incredible work ethic and loyalty to his team and school.
He won’t get the heisman but should still get a statue. Kid is a definition of the “Gator Standard”
Keeping Grantham is a betrayal of the players and their families. He is making them look like fools and destroying their pro potential. They deserve better.
If grantham stays then we might as well call for mullens job also. No reason the defense should be this bad this late in the season
Be careful. NatureGator might see this…
I thought mullen was going to be the answer. but if he doesn’t lose Grantham then I am completely ok with a mass firing and complete rebuild
Same here 7, both of them are going to lose all the talent we have if they stay together
You two guys would make GREAT humper fans…lol
Last comment is banned I guess. I’ve never seen 7 before but he’s my kinda dude
Should have wore the blue helmets.
I hate orange
Always better than yellow
The blue ‘gator’ helmets are so much better.
this is an anonymous website. Literally nobody would know of you decided to be a gator fan like you have always wanted
Booches, don’t ever write a respectful comment on a gator article. I will just remind you your team blows
How about your “Heisman” QB throwing 3 picks? Sure blame the defense. I get Grantham hasn’t been good all year, but your star player didn’t perform and show up. It is what it is.
you have a degree in art. shut up and “comment like a girl”
What is vandy 0-10 or something?
But they are glad to start over with a new HC and Florida isn’t!
Vandy is in the SEC? I though they were a D 2 school.
a perfect 10 on that clap back.
You and your team are all time losers. Suck it, swallow and move on. You have no right on here.
Too bad you weren’t closer to Atnt building Christmas Day.
This just wasn’t a good year for a 4 loss team to get into the CFP.
your mom is so embarrassed of you
Lmao a mom joke right off the bat! Priceless.
Who was a 4 loss team coming in?
You just lost a shoe.
I thought a mom joke was less harsh than pointing out the fact that you are a mizzou fan. I’m sorry.
So you can’t answer my question. Thanks come again
hahahahah shoe joke. imagine how funny that would be of your team didn’t suck
Lmao
was 94 the year you were born or the year your mizzou degree forced you to move back home?
I think it’s how many points OU might score tonight.
Booches has it out for fla, he’s all butt hurt because Fla stomped his team and he’s Mullen’$ byt@h. He wanted Mullen to be suspended after his team srarted a bench clearing brawl where his trainers or coaches wers throwing blows at Fla’s player’s.
The Oklahoma receivers are catching the ball and the Gators are dropping the ball. The Oklahoma defenders are tackling and the Gator defenders are not.
We can blame the QB and the coaches, but simple execution is vital.
One team is good and one team is garbage. One coach is good and the other is a whiner.
Moral of the story is mizwho is garbage
Just an embarrassing night. Lots of work to get done before next season. And I hope it starts with firing Todd Grantham.
Marcus Major to the house. The real deal.
Spencer Rattler is a Jedi.
So now OU’s d*ick is in your mouth?
No. It’s actually in the Gator’s a**es
That was some prison assault right there.
Ouch, Arkansas is irrelevant as is mizwho
I dont know if you saw that little albinos attitude last night. I think next year Rattler is going to bite off more than he can chew and his attitude will catch up. He a cocky little f!@# and a one season wonder.
Cocky is that dork Houston saying “they aint in the the SEC, thay aint no Florida” and then not backing it up worth a sht. Rattler showed up and threw down, that’s not cocky, that’s simply being a dam good player.
To get this back on topic, hopefully this is Grantham’s swan song. Bring back Charlie Strong or if Venables does not desire to be a head coach pay the man whatever it takes to get him to Gainesville
Florida should write a check so big Charlie can’t refuse. Mullens press conference will determine how I see him for the rest of his tenure
Oh I can’t wait for that debacle
Lololol
Maybe another riot via zoom
Show some mercy on the committee Riley, kneel it down from here on out.
Who the he*l are y’all playing tonight?
Pay no mind to the refugee from the Big 12 that lucked their way into the SEC
Tennessee. They won. That’s why I’m late to the party here.
Tennessee took the Conzo clowns to the woodshed.
Congrats OU on breaking Mizzou’s 75 year old Cotton Bowl rushing record.
Back when y’all actually played in a conference that actually made sense both culturally and regionally…
Tony Temple (MU) still holds the Cotton Bowl rushing record for a single player though. 2008
Oh you Stanky Slimy Floriduh Gator fans should just be happy y’all faced Georgia before we got our real QB healthy and the fact that our defense was missing like 4 starters *due to injury not opt out quitters*
Y’all wouldn’t even have been playing Bamer in the conference championship…
Gonna laugh my ass off when you lose to a Group of 5 team.
Lol see Hawaii 2008 Sugar Bowl doofus.
Dawgs by 17
Comparing 2008 to 2020, who’s the Dufus
Gonna laugh my ass off when your “real QB” opts out to the NFL after the loss to cinci. Yall are putting all your eggs in his basket and hes gonna drop them. Just watch.
OU would’ve still won by 3 scores had UF had all of their players. It stinks that the Gator players opted out, but they saw the writing on the wall. OU is the real deal.
They made the committee look silly for gifting a 3-loss team a NY6 bowl.
Quiet down Arky, speak when spoke too, you know the rules
We just got rid of one defensive genius we certainly don’t need Grantham. He’s like the defensive coordinator village bicycle of the SEC…everybody has had a ride.
He would be a good fit for UGA and King Bullgump
SDS Alert. King Negan request that everyone refer to him as King BullGump from now on.
If UGA win their bowl game then they will move ahead of Florida in the ranking.
They won’t…
they should Florida sux. 4 losses? come on!?!?!?
If Mullen continues to employ 3rd and Inept he should be held equally accountable. I like Mullen a lot, always have, but if Grantham isnt fired before next year and Floridas defense is similar to this… None of that UF loses 3-4 games next year, fire the D Coord to take some heat of the seat nonsense. Fire Mullens @$$ too, he is making his bed and he can lie in it. Fire Todd yesterday.
Thats what I noticed when he coached at uga. Un- disciplined players walking around while the ball was snapped. Pitiful
