Since 2024
Spent eight years as Georgia's running backs coach and run-game coordinator under Kirby Smart, developing four different 1,000-yard rushers (Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, D'Andre Swift, Elijah Holyfield) before taking over at Georgia State in 2024. His transition to a first head-coaching job has been genuinely difficult — back-to-back losing seasons, capped by a winless conference record in 2025.
