ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia football coach Kirby Smart has hired former Rutgers assistant Fran Brown to coach the Bulldogs’ defensive backs.
Brown was secondary coach at Rutgers. He replaces Jahmile Addae, who left Georgia for a similar position at Miami.
Brown also has worked as an assistant at Temple, where he was co-defensive coordinator in 2019, and Baylor University. He spent the past two seasons on Greg Schiano’s staff at Rutgers before Georgia announced his hire Friday.
Brown was a team captain as a cornerback at Western Carolina in 2006. He played two seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2007-08.
