Per a report from DawgsHQ, Georgia is expected to hire North Carolina’s Stacy Searels as its next offensive line coach.
Searels – who coached the Bulldogs’ offensive line from 2007-10, working under Mark Richt at the time – just completed his third season with the same position in Chapel Hill under Mack Brown.
Searels replaces Matt Luke, who stepped down earlier this month, as the next UGA offensive line coach.
