Georgia coach Kirby Smart announced that he's moving Will Muschamp into an unspecified on-field role, according to UGASports.com.

Muschamp, who played at Georgia, was added to the UGA staff last February as a senior defensive analyst. The move to the field comes as special teams coordinator Scott Cochran has taken a leave of absence from the team for an undetermined period. 

"Coach Cochran is currently dealing with health issues and is taking time to prioritize his mental health and well-being," Smart said in a statement issued on Sunday. "We fully support him as he takes this time to focus on his well-being."

Muschamp was dismissed as South Carolina's head coach before the end of last season. He's amassed a 56-51 record across nine years as a head coach, all coming in the Southeastern Conference. 

This is Muschamp's fifth stop at a Southeastern Conference school. He's also been a graduate assistant at Auburn, a linebackers' coach at LSU. 

Muschamp also served as Texas's defensive coordinator from 2008-10, leveraging that into the head coaching position at Florida in 2011.
