Townsend would become the second Bulldogs’ defensive coach to leave the program this offseason. The first was defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, who is heading to Miami to join Mark Richt’s staff.
Townsend played 12 seasons in the NFL, and he just finished his third season at Mississippi State. He previously coached in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals in 2011 and 2012.
