Georgia DC Glenn Schumann named as assistant to watch for 2025 coaching carousel

Georgia DC Glenn Schumann has worked under Kirby Smart since the 2016 season.
From 2016 to 2018, he was the inside linebackers coach. In 2019, he became the co-defensive coordinator. Since last year, he’s been the sole defensive coordinator for the Georgia football squad.
How long until Schumann, who drew interest from the North Carolina Tar Heels this past coaching carousel cycle, lands a head coaching job of his own?
ESPN analyst Adam Rittenberg named Schumann as a top assistant to watch for a Power 4 job if and when one opens up this coming season:
Few assistants have experienced more high-level success than Schumann. A 2011 Alabama graduate who worked for the team as a student, he has been part of six national championships with the Crimson Tide or Georgia, where he joined coach Kirby Smart in 2016. Schumann, 35, has held a coordinator title with Georgia since 2019 and enters his second season as the team’s primary D-coordinator. He gained interest for the North Carolina job and should be in the mix for more. The only question: How will Schumann fare at programs with fewer resources than the two where he has worked?
At only 35 years of age, Schumann is just starting his career. He has a bit of time if the right job doesn’t open up this offseason. We’ll see what the future holds for him, but it does sound like the Georgia defensive coordinator will be running his own program sooner rather than later.
