REPORT: Georgia to Lose Thier Wide Receiver Coach to NFL

Bryan McLendon will no longer be a Georgia Bulldog, as he has accepted a job in the NFL.

This week has brought change to the Georgia Bulldogs coaching staff as they have lost their special teams coordinator/strength and conditioning coach, and now they are losing their wide receivers coach. 

Dawgs Daily has confirmed, as first reported by Dawgs247's Benjamin Wolk that Bryan McLendon has accepted a job in the NFC South as he will move to Tampa Bay and be the Buccaneers wide receiver coach and the pass-game coordinator. This will be the third time that Georgia is looking for a wide receiver coach since the 2021 season, but it is something Georgia fans should begin to get used too. 

Excelling programs will consistently have their coaches poached or take higher-level jobs in the NFL, as Nick Saban had the same done with his staff during his time at Alabama. This opportunity for McLendon is a great one for he and his family.
