The Georgia Bulldogs are looking for an outside linebackers coach after incumbent coach Chidera Uzu-Diribe was hired by the Dallas Cowboys, and they’re looking to the Big 12 for a candidate. They interviewed Baylor OLB coach Carson Hall on Monday, according to Graham Coffey.

Hall has a connection with Georgia football. He was a Georgia defensive lineman from 2014-17, playing on scout team through the last years of the Mark Richt era and the start of the Kirby Smart era. After his playing days, he was a graduate assistant/OLB coach at Valdosta State in 2018. A year later, the Illinois Fighting Illini hired Hall in 2019 to be their graduate assistant coach, keeping him until 2020.

After a brief stop as LSU’s graduate assistant/assistant defensive line coach in the spring of 2021, the Bulldogs hired him to be their assistant defensive line coach. He helped the Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships, working with talents like Jalen Carter, Mykel Williams, Jordan Davis, Devontae Wyatt, and Travon Walker.

Thanks to his time at Georgia, he became a defensive line coach for Western Kentucky in 2023. After a few seasons with the Hilltoppers, he became Baylor’s outside linebackers coach in 2025.

Georgia has moved on from some major assistants from the past year. Defensive analyst Will Muschamp was hired as Texas’s defensive coordinator and offensive line coach Stacy Searels stepped down to be an analyst. Phil Rauscher will be the new offensive line coach in 2026, but the Bulldogs are still looking for an outside linebackers coach.
