Louisville defensive coordinator Todd Grantham has been offered a two-year deal to become defensive coordinator of the Raiders, according to an NFL Network report.



Grantham, 48, interviewed with Raiders coach Jack Del Rio over the weekend. Grantham has experience as an NFL defensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns and last season guided a Louisville defense that was among the national leaders in rushing, scoring and total defense.

According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, Grantham is the fourth highest-paid assistant coach in college football with an annual salary of nearly $1 million.

Louisville is currently deep into recruiting, with the national signing date on Feb. 4, and it’s conceivable Grantham wouldn’t make a move until that date has passed.

Grantham worked for the Indianapolis Colts as defensive line coach from 1999 through 2001, the Houston Texans from 2002 through 2004, the Browns from 2005 through 2007 and the Dallas Cowboys in 2008 through 2009. He was defensive line coach at all stops except the Browns, where he was the defensive coordinator.

From 2010 through 2013, Grantham was defensive coordinator at Georgia before moving on to Louisville under Bobby Petrino last season.
