Georgia special teams coordinator Scott Cochran is stepping away from the program because of health issues, coach Kirby Smart said Sunday.
Former Florida and South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp, a senior defensive analyst with Georgia, will step in during Cochran's absence, a source told ESPN's Mark Schlabach.
"Coach Cochran is currently dealing with health issues and is taking time to prioritize his mental health and well-being," Smart said in a prepared statement. "We fully support him as he takes this time to focus on his well-being."
It's unclear how long Cochran, 42, will be away from the team, or what his long-term future with the program will be, a source told ESPN.
