The Georgia Bulldogs are experiencing a notable exodus of coaching staff this offseason, with Bulldogs running backs coach Dell McGee reportedly in the process of finalizing an agreement to become the next head coach for the Georgia State Panthers, according to sources from Dawgs Daily.
McGee is expected to undergo his last interview on Thursday morning. If successful, this would mark McGee’s first head coaching position at the collegiate level. While nothing has been officially confirmed, sources suggest that McGee is a leading candidate for the role. As one of the few remaining members from Kirby Smart’s original coaching staff, McGee served as the Bulldogs’ running backs coach for nine seasons, overseeing the development of notable players like Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, D’andre Swift, and James Cook. His ability to build strong connections with players became a hallmark of his coaching style. The departure of McGee, following other recent coaching exits, poses a significant challenge for the Bulldogs, as they lose their second offensive position coach within a week. Despite this, the team boasts considerable talent in the running back department and maintains an elite culture, making it an attractive opportunity for potential coaching replacements. The Bulldogs’ 2024 football schedule includes notable matchups against teams like Clemson, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida, showcasing the competitive landscape they face in the upcoming season.
