Georgia and Kirby Smart reportedly promoting former FBS defensive coordinator to on-field role

Doug Samuels     Feb 14, 2025

In a trend we're seeing across college football with the 10 on-field assistants now a thing of the past, a lot of programs are designating coaches for the nickel position.

That's what Kirby Smart and Georgia are doing with former Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Andrew Thacker, per CBS Sports.

Thacker landed on his feet in Athens last year as an analyst, and CBS Sports shares that he was a target for another top program this cycle, but Smarty and the Dawgs are holding onto him with the promotion.

A former defensive coordinator with stops calling the plays at Georgia Tech under both Geoff Collins and Brent Key, Thacker also served as the defensive coordinator for a season at Temple with Collins.

He brings experience working with both safeties and linebackers at the FBS level, previously working in the secondary at UCF and Southern Miss before moving to linebackers at Kennesaw State and Temple.

This fall will mark Thacker's second season with Georgia, and his first in an official on-field role.

Stay tuned
