Georgia Bulldogs hire assistant Bryan McClendon away from Miami Hurricanes

ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia has hired assistant coach Bryan McClendon to return to his alma mater less than a month after he took a job with Miami.

McClendon had been on new Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal's staff at Oregon, and he followed Cristobal to Miami, taking a job early this month as receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator.

But on Monday, the national champion Bulldogs announced McClendon is joining coach Kirby Smart's staff as wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, the same titles McClendon had for the previous two seasons at Oregon.

A former wide receiver at Georgia, McClendon was the Bulldogs' running backs coach from 2009 to 2015.
