Georgia and Georgia Tech hired defensive coordinators on Friday.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt announced he had completed his six-week search to replace the deposed Willie Martinez by announcing that Dallas Cowboys defensive line coach Todd Grantham had agreed to become the Bulldogs' defensive coordinator.
"We have our man," Richt said.
Grantham got a three-year contract that will pay him $750,000 per year.
In Richmond, Va., former Virginia head coach Al Groh told the Associated Press he would succeed Dave Wommack, who was fired after two seasons as the Jackets' defensive coordinator.
Groh told the AP he had set out several criteria before deciding where he wanted to coach in 2010, and Georgia Tech meets them. The top priority was taking a job where there's a chance to win championships, he said.
Groh served nine seasons as Virginia's head coach.
