Georgia hires new special teams coordinator

On Monday, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart hired longtime Alabama strength and conditioning coordinator Scott Cochran as the Bulldogs’ new special teams coach.

Smart initially tried to hire Cochran when he came to Georgia in 2016 but was unable to do so.

“Ask anyone who’s been around him, Scott’s passion and energy are contagious,” Smart said, via a school release. “Special Teams Coordinator is a great fit as he’ll be working with all position groups. His knowledge and experience elevates our entire program, and we’re excited to welcome the Cochran family to Athens.
