According to two reports, Georgia Tech has made its hire to replace special-teams coordinator Ray Rychleski. Ron West, formerly an assistant at Clemson, Illinois, Arizona State and most recently North Carolina, will help coach the offensive line, according to Jackets Online and Football Scoop.
Reached Sunday, coach Paul Johnson said by text message that he could not confirm nor deny the reports.
West has coached offense and defense over his 35-year coaching career. He was North Carolina’s co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in 2013-14, but was not retained when Gene Chizik was hired as defensive coordinator prior to the 2015 season.
