Another Georgia staffer is getting big bucks for coming aboard this offseason, as DawgsHQ has confirmed that newly hired offensive line coach Stacy Searels will make $650,000 annually for his services.

The information was confirmed via an open records request submitted by DawgsHQ.

Searels was officially hired by Georgia last Monday, following the departure of Matt Luke, who is stepping away from the game.

Luke was paid $900,000 for his efforts, which included the title of associate head coach.

Background on Stacy Searels

Searels comes to Athens by way of the University of North Carolina.

During his time in Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels led the ACC in rushing yards this past season, their second consecutive season atop the ACC. Searel’s offensive line served as the foundation for one of the country’s most explosive offenses in 2020, averaging 537.2 yards per game including 235.8 yards per game on the ground. The rushing attack led the country in runs of 10+ yards (109) and 20+ yards (35) that season.

Overall, Searels has helped produce 25 NFL offensive linemen including 11 that heard their name called in the NFL Draft.

He is now on his second stop in Athens.

Searels originally came to Athens and coached offensive line for Georgia from 2007 to 2010, earning the title of running game coordinator in 2010. With current Georgia offensive analyst Mike Bobo as the offensive coordinator and Searels leading the offensive line, the Bulldogs ranked in the top 25 for fewest sacks allowed three times. Clint Boling earned a spot on the Freshman All-American team in 2007 and First-Team All-SEC honors in 2008 and 2009 under Searels while the Bulldogs offensive line paved the way for rushers like Doak Walker Award finalist and All-SEC running back Knowshon Moreno. Georgia won the Sugar Bowl over Hawaii in 2007 and finished ranked in the top-four in the country. Among his best individual linemen during his time at UGA was Clint Boling who was a three-time First-Team All-SEC selection as well as a Freshman All-American in 2007. As a senior, Bowling was named an All-American by Pro Football Weekly.
