Mark Richt is looking for two assistant coaches this evening. 

The offensive line coach position has been open since Stacy Searels left Georgia for Texas last month.  According to ESPN.com, four candidates have emerged as possible replacements for Searels:


* Greg Adkins — Syracuse’s offensive line coach, formerly of Marshall, Troy and Tennessee.

* Will Friend — UAB’s offensive line coach and a former Alabama player.

* Brent Key — UCF’s offensive line coach and a former Georgia Tech player.

* Mac McWhorter — Texas’ offensive line coach for the past nine seasons… before Mack Brown let him go in December which opened the door for Texas to hire Searels.  McWhorter has also coached at Memphis, Clemson, Duke, Alabama and at Georgia under Ray Goff.  McWhorter is a UGA alum.


And now the Dawgs have a vacancy at the inside linebackers position, too.  According to UGASports.com — the Rivals site covering Georgia — Warren Belin is leaving Athens to join the Carolina Panthers’ coaching staff.  Belin was on Richt’s staff for just one season, making the move from Vanderbilt to Georgia last offseason.
