Ty Hatcher, Georgia football offensive assistant, is projected to be hired by the LSU Tigers.
The Georgia Bulldogs have already had various staff changes this offseason, and it appears like they will have one more. According to Footballscoop, the LSU Tigers are projected to hire Georgia offensive assistant Ty Hatcher. He worked mostly as an assistant to head coach Kirby Smart while at Georgia.
Before joining Georgia, Hatcher had worked for the teams of Alabama, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. He’s on track for a successful coaching career, owing to his rapid ascent and connections to the coaching community.
Georgia Bulldogs expected to lose staffer to LSU Tigers
Hather is expected to have a senior position in which he will perform a little bit of everything for us, including working with the offensive staff, quarterbacks, and tight ends, according to Footballscoop’s John Brice. He also stated that Hatcher would collaborate closely with LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis.
For someone who looks to be ascending the offensive coaching ranks, making a pit stop with Kiffin and Weis is clearly not a terrible idea.
Hiring Hatcher was a full-circle moment for head coach Kirby Smart. Smart’s first coaching post was as a graduate assistant at Valdosta State University under Ty Hatcher’s father, Chris Hatcher.
This is the third coaching change announced for Georgia’s program. The first one was David Hill, the player relationship coordinator, who went to Colorado State to become the running backs coach. Shortly after that, it was revealed that offensive line coach Stacy Searels and offensive assistant Phil Rauscher would be swapping positions.
Rauscher’s former position was quality control coordinator. Before relocating to Athens, Rauscher served as the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offensive line coach from 2022 to 2024. Since 2006, he has coached and been involved in the game of football. He began his NFL career in 2015 as an offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos. He has also worked with the Washington Commanders and Minnesota Vikings.
Searels began his collegiate football career as a graduate assistant at Auburn in 1992, where he earned his degree. He then rose through the ranks of college football as an offensive line coach, serving in that capacity at Georgia from 2007 to 2010. He then made stops in Texas, Virginia Tech, Miami, and North Carolina. In 2022, he returned to Georgia to serve as the offensive line coach after Matt Luke announced his retirement from coaching.
