The Indiana Hoosiers have hired former Georgia Bulldogs defensive backs coach Charlton Warren to be their defensive coordinator. Indiana is coming off an impressive 6-2 season where they challenged Ohio State, defeated Penn State, but lost in their bowl game to Ole Miss.
Indiana is an excellent job for Warren, an Atlanta native. The Hoosiers secondary and defense was very impressive in 2020 under former defensive coordinator Kane Wommack and head coach Tom Allen. Wommack left for the head coaching job at South Alabama.
Charlton Warren deserves a chance to run a defense after previously being a defensive backs coach at Nebraska, UNC, Tennessee, and Florida.
Now, Kirby Smart and Georgia must look for a replacement for Warren. The Bulldogs have a lot of talent in the secondary, but they lack in returning experience at the cornerback position.
In fact, Georgia’s new defensive backs coach must replace the top four corners and top safety from last season. The University of Georgia is losing Tyson Campbell, Eric Stokes, Richard LeCounte, and DJ Daniel to the 2021 NFL Draft. Additionally, Tyrique Stevenson is transferring to Miami and is no longer with the program.
Who will Georgia hire to replace Charlton Warren? The position should be a sought after role and Kirby Smart has a background as a former defensive back at Georgia, so he knows the position well and should hire the right guy.
