ATHENS — Glenn Schumann is no stranger to being in coaching rumors.

I gotta say, if I’m making $2.2m, am well respected and liked and don’t have the headaches of the HC, I may be content to stay where I am. If I love my job and the location, and who wouldn’t love Athens…… bonus.
wonder if Muschamp is ready to come home next season. Schu will make a very good HBC. FSU and UGA have a history of swapping around coaches.
Wish Glenn the best of luck if he does decide to move on. Certainly wouldn't blame him, but want him to stay! Just hope if he does leave, he doesn't take a few good players with him like Cignetti did. That is my biggest concern.
I'd be very surprised if we don't see FSU Head Coach Schumann next year. When you look at the results of FBS HC to HC shuffle [e.g., Auburn (several times), LSU (twice), Penn State, and FSU itself] vs Coordinator to HC (e.g., Smart, Lanning, Stein, etc.), while you certainly aren't guaranteed results, the coordinators seem to be more ergetic and open to new ideas to shake up a program that has been unsuccessful recently. Would hate to lose Schumann, but no role is permanent.
Relatedly, I thought this was a GREAT CR article. All ORIGINAL material and stuff I could not find easily elsewhere, if at all. Learned a ton. I realize these kind of articles require much more effort than a "ESPN says this…" or "Sports Illustrated said that…" type of posts, but more of these article would be excellent!
Connor showing his chops 🤠
He may be the next FSU HC..if they can come up with enough money to pay him after norvells buyout.
OK time for a large pay raise for Coach Schu !! As has already been said if he leaves some current players and committed recruits could go with him !! Also if this happens he could leave Before the playoffs right ? Though I appreciate all he’s done for our Dawgs. And wish him the best regardless. I wish he’d stay !! Go Dawgs !!
We can at least dream. But if I was 36 years old, with his resume, not even in the prime of my career, and a big-time company dangled a massive promotion and great job in a town much like where I am, with a chance to personally bring that company back to its glory days, it'd take me a nano second to say yes, no matter how much I liked my current job. Shoe has done literally everything possible throughout his ambitious career to land a choice HC assignment (wherever that is). I agree with Connor, this one feels different. Go Dawgs!
FSU is a dumpster fire. How much time would it take to turn it around. How much money would it take, and they are very short with their coaching buyout. Like Auburn, their administration has really hurt their program, maybe irrevocably. That ACC doesn't get the 100 Million that every team in the SEC gets per year from TV. They get like 30 Million. I wouldn't do that.
Obviously he should do whatever is best for his family and him.
If he waits until after December 3 to announce a move, are the 2027 signees locked up? I think only a head coaching change allows players to leave, but I’m not sure.
I heard Jimbo Fisher is coming back to Tallahassee…. Not sure that FSU is really a place that has a high potential to return to an elite program. It's location is nothing special. It is surrounded by big programs with lots of money to recruit the best local players from FSU. The boosters are crazy with unrealistic expectations. At the end of the day, Schumann did a great job with Ole Miss, but a terrible terrible job with Auburn. If he were a defensive genius, he would have already gone to another program by now. He needs to just do whatever is best for himself and his family. His salary is fantastic at $2M a year without the headaches and job insecutity of a head football coach.
I've heard Jimbo is going back to FSU as well, @Beachwagon. As a matter of fact, just yesterday I heard reports that he's already reaching out to potential assistants to see if they would be interested in joining him. In any event, I don't think Schumann goes there, although I do think he's gone if UGA wins the Natty. I could see him at Clemson if Dabo leaves there. But if he does leave, I don't think he'll take many of our top-tier guys with him, only guys who were going to transfer anyway. As good a coach as he is, these boys really want to play for Kirby Smart. And he ain't going nowhere. Go Dawgs!
Free Shoes U.
Buyer beware. I remember when Dan Lanning was the hot assistant. Earlier this season it looked like he might be available to come back to UGA as DC. He still might if OR continues to underperform down the stretch. Brent Venables might also be available after this season. He seems to have been behind the success Clemson had. Someone below mentioned Muschamp as an option. Good call.
He should hold out for a better job like Kirby did. FSU is not a top program anymore—third in their own state. In their location, they'd be recruiting against UGA, BAMA, Florida, and Miami…but without the money. Yikes.
He can wait two years and take his pick from Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State, and, knowing Lane Kiffin, maybe LSU ;-)
I seriously LOL-ed my hind quarters off on this one… well done! 🤣
