Georgia to hire Rutgers defensive backs coach Fran Brown as new defensive assistant

Georgia has found its 10th on-field assistant, as it hired Rutgers defensive backs coach Fran Brown to be the school’s new cornerbacks coach. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report the hiring.

Brown spent the past two seasons with Rutgers, coaching in his home-state of New Jersey. Brown also has coached at Temple and Baylor, working primarily with defensive backs. He will replace Jahmile Addae, who left Georgia after one season to coach at Miami.

This will be the fourth defensive back coach Georgia has hired in the past five seasons. What makes the hiring of Brown different is that Georgia will have a safeties coach this year as well, as that titled was added to Will Muschamp’s responsibilities. Muschamp will also be a co-defensive coordinator for Georgia this season, splitting those duties with Glenn Schumann.

Brown is the third new on-field assistant coach Georgia has hired this offseason. Bryan McClendon replaced Cortez Hankton as the wide receivers coach, while Chidrea Uzo-Diribe is the new outside linebackers coach, replacing Dan Lanning. Georgia also hired Mike Bobo as an offensive analyst this offseason.
