Dell McGee Could Be Next Head Coach At Georgia State

The Georgia Bulldogs could lose another member of their coaching staff. Here is what we know so far.

The Georgia Bulldogs have seen their fair share of coaching departures this offseason and the list seems to be continuing to grow Bulldogs running backs coach Dell McGee is working to finalize a deal to become the next head coach for the Georgia State Panthers, sources have told Dawgs Daily. McGee is set to interview for the final time on Thursday morning. This would be McGee's first head coaching job at the collegiate level. Nothing is official yet, but McGee is seemingly a final candidate according to sources.

McGee was one of the last remaining members of Kirby Smart's original coaching staff and served as the running backs for the Bulldogs for nine seasons. During his tenure, McGee coached Georgia legends such as Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, D'andre Swift, and James Cook and became well-known for his ability to make connections with players.

Replacing a coach as experienced and as high profile as McGee will be a major challenge for the Bulldogs who have now lost their second offensive position coach in the span of one week. However, the Bulldogs possess tons of talent in the running back room and an elite culture that will be enticing to numerous notable coaches.
