He's at the stop of the list for DC. Move over Durkin.

He's already the DC at Georgia. He isn't taking a step down to A&M. Only way you get him is with a Head Coach position

---

Was just a joke

I have all my fingers and toes crossed that it's Schumann. Young, ambitious and he's been around the best in the business his whole career

Does it matter that he didn't pay college football and hasn't truly been a stand alone coordinator yet?

---

Nope. Having low aerobic capacity, a giant gut, and rolling around in stickers for 2 weeks every August doesn't make you coaching material. Mike Leach never played. It made him a great innovator, because he cared more about being smart and solving problems than wearing some bro culture fake tough guy label. Coaching football is just like any other job. Attract talent, motivate it, coach it, and be smarter than the other companies.

The idea we need a "proven coach" makes me nervous. We've gone that route before and paid dearly for it. I'm on board for taking our chances on a OC/DC like Schumann.

---

As if A&M has anything to prove at this point. The whole "proven coach" shtick is just another layer of our onion of insecurity. We have money, recruits, talent, facilities. The most important thing we need is a football coach who can also get into homes and high schools.

Lanning wasn't head coach until 2 yrs ago and it's working out. Kirby wasn't a HC and it's working out

---

I'm aware of how things go. However, one of our stated objectives was to find a "proven winner".

---

The DC from Georgia? How much of a proven winner can you get ?

---

Umm anybody else who has been a head coach and won more games than lost? I'm not splitting hairs but he has a coaching record of 0-0

He has 6 championship rings and he's 33.
He was one of 3 people in the prime Alabama defensive meetings, alongside Saban and Kirby.
He was the first person Kirby hired when he got to Georgia
He is an Incredible Xs and Os Defensive Coach, Turned down the Eagle's DC Job
He is a better recruiter than anyone on our previous staff. He is personally credited with 12 5*s on 247.
He makes less than $2MM a year, with no buyout
He is Kirby's right hand man at Georgia, see quote below

"He's the son of a football coach. He's extremely bright. He's extremely passionate. I rely heavily on Glenn for input on practice schedules, defensive design, and thinking outside the box. There's not a time when I think of who can I ask my staff that understands what we want and what we need when Schu [Schumann] is that guy. He's very talented."
-Kirby Smart

Sure, he is a risk. But he is a risk with Championship potential. Traynor and Elko haven't done anything to show they have Championship potential.

... and he graduated high school in Texas, so there's a connection.

It's not like his defense is ranked higher than Durkin's.

Post of the year

If we pursue and get Schumann it will restore all my faith in the AD and our football future

Won't happen. Schumann will make a great HC somewhere in 2025 after winning a few more championships. We will be sitting around once again wondering why our coach can't get past 8 regular season wins.

But! Can he play linebacker?!?

I believe Lanning was 35 when he took the UO job. A successful hire and wouldn't be much different than hiring Schumann. Plus I would think Schumann could engage himself in this job at any time unlike DeBoer. It's a risk, but any hire will be. We just don't seem to have much imagination when it comes to hiring a coach.

So is Schumann officially out of the picture now?

Yes he is

Other than the Day and other playoff coach pipe dreams, the rest of the field is underwhelming.

On one hand we have pipe dreams and on the other hand we have reality.

My best educated guess who is still on our list:
DeBoer
Fisch
Lanning
Elko
Kiffen

3 are correct for sure. 1 is definitely not and one is probably not.

Mike Elko
Jedd Fisch

Long shot
Kalen DeBoer

Loosely connected/speculated, if they are/were even candidates at all…
Jeff Traylor
Lance Leipold
Chris Klieman
Jonathan Smith (Michigan State?)
Eliah Drinkwitz
Matt Rhule
Ryan Day
Dabo Swinney
Mike Norvell
Lane Kiffin
Dan Campbell
Dan Lanning

Now who are these so-called big name 1-2 mystery candidates?

Mullen and Muschamp

iN for GleNN SchumaNN.

Schumann sounds like he'd be a good fit, which means he won't be considered.
