"According to a report from CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz, outside linebackers coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe is expected to take the same position on the Dallas Cowboys' coaching staff. The 33-year-old interviewed for the position with the Cowboys on Monday and will now join former Georgia offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's coaching staff. Diribe confirmed the move in a message to UGASports."
"During his time in Athens, Uzo-Diribe oversaw the development of first-round NFL Draft picks, Nolan Smith and Jalon Walker. The latter successfully split time at both inside and outside linebacker throughout his three years at Georgia. As a junior, Walker finished tied for the team lead in sacks with 6.5 while also totaling 60 tackles, 10.5 for a loss, two passes defended, and two fumble recoveries. Walker joined Roquan Smith and Nakobe Dean as the third Georgia player to win the Butkus Award under Kirby Smart."
Chidera Uzo-Diribe is expected to leave Georgia to become the Dallas Cowboys' outside linebackers coach after interviewing and confirming the move to UGASports. The 33-year-old spent four seasons in Athens after earlier stops at TCU, SMU, Kansas, and playing college football at Colorado. Uzo-Diribe coached first-round NFL Draft picks Nolan Smith and Jalon Walker, with Walker splitting time at inside and outside linebacker and posting 6.5 sacks and 60 tackles as a junior. Uzo-Diribe joins Stacy Searels as one of two position coaches leaving posts this offseason, with Searels staying in an analyst role.
