Jahmile Addae to Become DBs Coach
Earlier this month, defensive backs coach Charlton Warren left Georgia after two seasons to become the defensive coordinator at Indiana. That left a vacancy on the staff and for the past few weeks, Georgia has been trying to figure out who will be next in line for the job.
Initially, it seemed as if Doug Belk, Houston’s co-defensive coordinator, was a strong candidate. However, Houston caught wind of this and quickly promoted Belk to having the full title of defensive coordinator.
There was a handful of candidates that Georgia interviewed multiple times, including IDareU Academy trainer and CEO Glenn Ford. Dawgs Daily confirmed the job ultimately went to West Virginia cornerbacks coach Jahmile Addae as first reported by The Athletic's Bruce Feldman.
As for what he brings to the table, according to our good friend Schuyler Callihan at Mountaineer Maven, Addae is a technician.
"I wouldn’t say a great recruiter but is on the way up. He’s not necessarily the top recruiter at WVU. As a coach, he’s pretty darn good. He really only played two corners that coming into the year had combined for two starts and ended up with the No. 1 passing defense in the country this year. He’s going to be a DC at some point, maybe head coach down the line." - Schuyler Callihan
It is expected the recruiting prowess of Addae will ultimately improve once he arrives on campus. There's a clear and obvious difference between entering a prospect's home with the West Virginia logo on your chest, and walking in with that Georgia G. We saw this prove true with Sam Pittman who was an average recruiter, but a great developer in his stints as an offensive line coach prior to his stop in Athens. He arrived at Georgia and quickly became the nation's top offensive line recruiter.
