Kirby Smart has gone on the record as being thrilled with bringing Dan Lanning on his staff.
But don't just take it from the Georgia head football coach. His former bosses are impressed with what Lanning has accomplished as both an assistant coach and a recruiter.
Lanning, who was hired to coach outside linebackers at Georgia after Kevin Sherrer took the Tennessee defensive coordinator job, was most recently the inside linebackers coach at Memphis. Lanning's former boss, Memphis head coach Mike Norvell, had nothing but positive things to say about his former employee.
"Dan’s a relentless person," Norvell said at last Friday's Minority Coaches Association of Georgia coaches clinic in Atlanta.
