The Oakland Raiders reportedly interviewed Todd Grantham for their open defensive coordinator position on Monday.

Grantham, a longtime defensive assistant in the NFL, spent the 2014 season as the coordinator on Bobby Petrino’s staff at Louisville, where his defense ranked sixth in the nation.

Grantham, 48, was defensive coordinator at Georgia from 2010 to 2013. In the NFL, he has coached with the Indianapolis Colts (1999-2001), Houston Texans (2002-2004), Cleveland Browns (2005-07) and Dallas Cowboys (2008-09).

New Raiders coach Jack Del Rio also has interviewed Mike Smith and Eric Mangini. The latter was hired by the San Francisco 49ers, and Smith reportedly might take a year off from coaching.
