At Florida State, Stoops served as Fisher’s defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach from 2010-2012, while Gran was the team’s associate head coach, running backs coach and special teams coordinator during that same time. Between the two of them, Stoops and Gran helped lead the Seminoles to their first ACC Championship since 2005, their first 11-win season since 2000, an Orange Bowl appearance in 2012, and a national title in their final year on staff in 2013.
Now, the student has become the teacher, as Stoops took over the Kentucky program and Gran is the leader of the Wildcat offense.
