A closer look at UGA’s latest coaching hire and other highlights from DawgNation Daily
Georgia made the hiring of Chidera Uzo-Diribe as outside linebackers coach official on Sunday after reports surfaced Thursday night regarding his candidacy.
I addressed this topic on Friday’s edition of DawgNation Daily by highlighting one aspect of his resume that I found impressive.
Uzo-Diribe was named as one of 247Sports 30 under 30 for 2020 -- a yearly list that spotlights rising stars within the sport of college football. It was mentioned in the writeup for Uzo-Diribe that he only was only a quality control staffer for one year at Kansas before getting a chance to move into an on-field coaching role.
I explained on the show why the upward mobility that got him hired so quickly while with the Jayhawks could also serve him well at UGA.
