Georgia Director of Football Operations Steve Greer will retire effective June 30 after more than 35 years with the Bulldogs as a player, coach, and administrator.

“Steve Greer has been a loyal and dedicated Georgia Bulldog for more than 35 years and we are all grateful for his service to the
University,” said Bulldog head coach Mark Richt. “I know all the
Georgia people will join in wishing him the very best in retirement.”

Richt also said he will restructure part of his offensive coaching
staff. Receivers coach John Eason will move into the football operations role and running backs coach Tony Ball will assume
duties coaching the receivers. Bryan McClendon, a Bulldog letterman and graduate assistant, will be added to the full time staff and coach the running backs.

“I want to thank the University and all the Georgia people,” said
Greer. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been a student and player, a coach, administrator and earn two degrees from Georgia. I’ll always be a Dawg.”

Greer, a two-time All-America defensive lineman at Georgia in
1968 and ’69, has served on the Bulldog staff since 1979 when he was hired by head coach Vince Dooley to coach the defensive line. He came to Georgia after seven years on the Auburn coaching staff. During his Georgia career he has served as an on-field coach from 1979-93 and in administrative capacities since. As a player, Greer help lead the ‘Dogs to the 1968 SEC championship and earned All-SEC first team honors in addition to first team All-American in 1969.
