The Georgia Bulldogs lost two coaching members this week as it was announced that special teams coordinator Scott Cochran and offensive analyst Darrell Dickey had resigned from their positions.

According to a statement released by the University of Georgia, special teams analyst Kirk Benedict will be promoted to special teams coordinator for the 2024 season, while a replacement for Dickey has yet to be announced.

Dickey had recently joined the Bulldogs as a staff member for the 2023 season while Cochran had been an integral member of the Bulldogs staff beginning in 2020. He had also previously worked with Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart during the two coaches’ time with Alabama. In response to the news, Smart offered this statement, where he wished both men well in their future endeavors.

While the core pieces of the Bulldogs 2024 roster and coaching staff remain intact. The loss of both Cochran and Dickey’s experience and knowledge of the sport will surely be felt at some point in the Bulldogs’ 2024 season.
