The Georgia Bulldogs will name Chris Wilson as their new defensive line coach, according to several reports.

Chris Wilson has spent the last three seasons as the defensive line coach and co-defensive coordinator at Mississippi State. He is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma and has been a coach for the past 19 years.

Wilson will replace Rodney Garner, who left the Bulldogs to accept the same position with the Auburn Tigers.

Georgia Bulldogs defensive line coach Rodney Garner has decided to accept a position at Auburn, UGA has confirmed.

Garner, a 1990 graduate of Auburn, was also the assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator at Georgia. He spent three years under former UGA head coach Jim Donnan and 12 years under Mark Richt.

Yesterday it was reported that UGA defensive coordinator Todd Grantham had been contacted by the Atlanta Falcons about their now vacant defensive coordinator position.

In response to that rumor, Grantham has released a statement through the UGA athletic department stating his desire to remain at Georgia. UGA athletic director Greg McGarity also told the AJC that he and Grantham have agreed in principle on a new three-year contract.

With the news yesterday that linebackers coach Warren Belin is leaving for the NFL, the Georgia Bulldogs now have two open coaching positions.

Georgia Bulldogs offensive line coach Stacy Searels is accepting an offer for the same position at Texas, multiple sources have reported. Searels has been at UGA since 2007.

The Mobile Press-Register is reporting that Kirby Smart will remain as defensive coordinator at Alabama rather than accepting the same position at Georgia.

The article referred to a quote from Nick Saban from the Rolando McClain press conference:

Well, the UGA nation is waiting on Kirby Smart to make a decision. Will he leave Alabama to become the next defensive coordinator of the Georgia Bulldogs?

Reports indicate that Smart has been offered the position and that he could make at least double the $360,000 he earned last season with the Crimson Tide.

It’s been a whirlwind last couple of days in the Georgia Bulldogs defensive coordinator search. Virginia Tech’s Bud Foster was the latest name to be rumored for the open position.

Foster, currently the defensive coordinator at Virginia Tech, was contacted by UGA but has decided to remain with the Hokies. This story broke yesterday, and it’s unclear when Foster was contacted. If it was recently, it may mean that Mark Richt has moved down the list of candidates.

Reports indicate that Mark Richt and the Georgia Bulldogs are targeting Kirby Smart for their open Defensive Coordinator position. Smart currently holds the same position at Alabama.

Smart was a four-year letterman at defensive back for the University of Georgia from 1996-99. His biography is located at RollTide.com. Listed below is his coaching career:
