Following the 2009 season, and much to the delight of many of their fans, Georgia dumped defensive coordinator Willie Martinez along with two other defensive assistants. Former Georgia defensive coordinator Willie Martinez has been hired to coach defensive backs at Stanford, according to Cardinal Report.com, a Web site that covers the program.
Martinez coached defensive backs under Mark Richt for nine seasons at Georgia and was defensive coordinator for five seasons before he was one of three coaches fired Dec. 2.
Defensive backs coach Clayton White left the Pac-10 school to join former Cardinals assistant Willie Taggert, the new head coach at Western Kentucky.
Martinez, 46, previously coached in his native state of Florida, Michigan and Georgia.
Stanford finished 8-5 in 2009 under third-year coach Jim Harbaugh, losing to Oklahoma, 31-27, in the Sun Bowl.
