Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has added former Georgia Southern interim head coach and running backs coach Dell McGee to his staff according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and FootballScoop.com. McGee recently coached Georgia Southern in its first ever bowl game where he led The Eagles to a 58-27 win. McGee had been named to Willie Fritz's staff at Tulane prior to being offered a position by UGA.

McGee began coaching at Georgia Southern prior to the 2014 season where he was hired as the running backs coach. He added the title assistant head coach during the 2015 season. Before his stop in Statesboro, McGee had worked one year as an offensive analyst at Auburn after a eight-year run as the head coach at Carver High School in Columbus. Georgia. While at Carver, McGee coached notable UGA players Jarvis Jones and Isaiah Crowell.

The Auburn alum had a big part in the nation's top rushing attack at GSU. The Eagles led the nation in yards per rushing attempt (6.48), rushing touchdowns (54) and rushing yards per game (363). He also tutored star running back Matt Breida, who rushed for 1,608 yards on just under eight yards per carry.

It is unclear exactly what McGee's role will be at this time but it will more than likely be on the offensive side of the ball where he has spent his college coaching career.
