And Petrino's callous reputation hasn't been improved with his players either, according to Sports Illustrated. Grantham left a much-maligned defense at Georgia after last season to join Petrino's new staff at Louisville, earning nearly $1 million per year on a five-year contract. Grantham isn't the highest paid defensive coordinator in the country -- Alabama's Kirby Smart is set to make $1.35 million this year -- but a five-year deal for an assistant coach is virtually unheard of, and makes Grantham much more of a fixture in Louisville than most assistant coaches.
