Former Georgia LB goes on Twitter rant against current defensive coaching staff
Former Georgia linebacker Tim Kimbrough, Jr. is not done taking his shots at the Bulldogs’ coaching staff.
Prior to the 2016 season, Kimbrough went on a rant stating he was forced to transfer from the program, though his dad credited the move to his son’s “best interest.”
Monday morning, Kimbrough caught wind that defensive coordinator Mel Tucker had been named a candidate for the head coach vacancy at Georgia State.
That did not sit with him well and triggered another series of tweets that could soon be deleted:

It’s still not clear why Kimbrough, the team’s third-leading tackler from the 2015 season, wasn’t able to suit up for Georgia in Kirby Smart’s first year. But the Indianapolis, IN native obviously continues to have some bitter feelings toward the staff who allegedly prevented him from playing his senior season in Athens.
Last month, Kimbrough announced he had declared for the 2017 NFL Draft.
