Report: Georgia Tech hires George Godsey as offensive coordinator

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Georgia Tech has its new offensive coordinator.

The Yellow Jackets are hiring George Godsey as the program’s new offensive coordinator, according to reports.

Godsey, 47, is the current tight ends coach for the Baltimore Ravens, and will fill the role vacated by Buster Faulkner, who left Georgia Tech to be the offensive coordinator at Florida.

Godsey played quarterback for the Yellow Jackets from 1998-2001, throwing for 6,137 yards (3,085 as a senior) and 41 touchdowns after being the team’s starter his final two years.

Godsey is a current teammate of current Tech head coach Brent Key, and coached alongside him at Central Florida, working first as a graduate assistant in 2004 and becoming quarterbacks coach and running back coach later on. He was an offensive assistant and then tight ends coach with the New England Patriots, as well as various roles with the Houston Texans, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.

Godsey will take over a new-look Georgia Tech offense in 2026 without quarterback Haynes King, who led the Yellow Jackets to a 9-4 finish in 2025.
