According to FootballScoop, the Georgia Bulldogs are making moves to add offensive analyst Ty Hatcher. Hatcher is the son of former Samford head football coach Chris Hatcher. At just 25 years of age, Hatcher has already worked for staffs the likes of Alabama, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. He’s on track for quite a coaching career considering the immediate climb and connections to the coaching world.
Hatcher’s coaching career has meerily just begun, but he’s seen stints under Bill O’Brien, Bobby Petrino, Jimbo Fisher, now Mike Bobo in Athens as an offensvie assitant. All five OC’s he’s worked under, have also had stints as head coaches themselves.
It’s a full-circle hiring moment for head coach Kirby Smart. Smart’s first coaching job was as a Graduate Assistant at Valdosta State University under Ty Hatcher’s father, Chris Hatcher. Now, he’s able to bring on the son of his first boss in the profession.
Hatcher will work as an offensive quality control coach, helping to oversee the offense as a whole.
This is just the latest in a recent onslaught of coaching announcements in Athens. Andrew Thacker was promoted to Nickels Coach, James Ellis was promoted to Director of Scouting, Tanner Potts has been promoted to the CEO of the Collective, and Steven Drummond has been promoted to Vice President AD.
The Bulldogs enter the 2025 spring portion of the offseason in under three weeks, debuting their 2025 Georgia Football team. It will be interesting to see how these changes have impacted their play for the 2025 season.
