DL coach Tray Scott leaving Ole Miss for same job at Georgia

Less than a day after creating the opening, Kirby Smart has fill the hole on his Georgia coaching staff -- at the expense of another SEC program no less.

While there’s not yet been official confirmation from the football program, Scout.com and FootballScoop.com among others have reported that Tray Scott is leaving as defensive line coach at Ole Miss to take the same job at UGA. While not confirming his next destination, Scott’s now-former boss acknowledged the assistant’s departure “for another opportunity.”

Scott was just hired by Freeze last month. The past two seasons, he served in the same role at North Carolina.

The reported hiring of Scott comes less than 24 hours after it was learned that Tracy Rocker, the Bulldogs’ line coach the past three seasons, was no longer a part of Smart’s staff.
