Georgia is expected to lose its second position coach this offseason. <\/p>\n
According to a report from CBS Sports<\/a>\u2018 Matt Zenitz, outside linebackers coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe<\/a> is expected to take the same position on the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 coaching staff. The 33-year-old interviewed for the position with the Cowboys on Monday and will now join former Georgia offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer\u2019s coaching staff.<\/p>\n Diribe confirmed the move in a message to UGASports. <\/p>\n A Long Beach, California, native who played his college football at Colorado, Uzo-Diribe spent four seasons in Athens after joining the staff ahead of the 2022 season. He had previous stints at TCU, SMU, Kansas, and his alma mater.<\/p>\n During his time in Athens, Uzo-Diribe oversaw the development of first-round NFL Draft picks, Nolan Smith<\/a> and Jalon Walker<\/a>. The latter successfully split time at both inside and outside linebacker throughout his three years at Georgia.<\/p>\n As a junior, Walker finished tied for the team lead in sacks with 6.5 while also totaling 60 tackles, 10.5 for a loss, two passes defended, and two fumble recoveries. Walker joined Roquan Smith <\/a>and Nakobe Dean<\/a> as the third Georgia player to win the Butkus Award under Kirby Smart.<\/p>\n Uzo-Diribe joins Stacy Searels as the two position coaches to leave their posts this offseason. However, Uzo-Diribe becomes the first to leave the staff, as Searels remains with the team in an analyst role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Georgia is expected to lose its second position coach this offseason.
