On Feb. 3, head coach Kirby Smart hired Muschamp as a defensive analyst for the Bulldogs. This position will help Muschamp rehabilitate as a coach as he looks to get back to the national spotlight.
Muschamp is also now reportedly providing some input with the special teams in the wake of coach Scott Cochran’s absence. Head coach Kirby Smart released a statement regarding Cochran:
“Coach Cochran is currently dealing with health issues and is taking time to prioritize his mental health and well-being. We fully support him as he takes this time to focus on his well-being.”
