Georgia’s Coaching Stability Is a Quiet Win Amid College Football’s Chaotic Carousel
While much of the college football world has been spinning through a whirlwind of coaching changes, one program has quietly stayed above the fray - and that’s exactly how Georgia wants it.
As major programs like LSU, Auburn, and Florida made headlines with splashy head coaching hires, the Bulldogs have remained steady. And for Georgia fans, that’s not just good news - it’s a major win.
Kirby Smart’s Staff Stays Intact
This time of year, when the coaching carousel spins into high gear, it’s open season on top assistants. And Georgia’s staff, led by head coach Kirby Smart, has been a frequent target of speculation.
Glenn Schumann, in particular, drew plenty of attention. The 33-year-old co-defensive coordinator has helped mold one of the most dominant defenses in college football, and his name was floated for multiple openings.
But here’s the thing: no one from Smart’s staff has been poached. Not Schumann.
Not offensive coordinator Mike Bobo. Not any of the position coaches who’ve helped build Georgia into a perennial powerhouse.
And that’s a massive deal.
Georgia isn’t just trying to win games - they’re trying to sustain a culture. Continuity on a coaching staff, especially one that’s been this successful, is invaluable.
It means recruits know who they’re playing for. It means players don’t have to adjust to new schemes or voices in the middle of a championship run.
It means Kirby Smart’s vision stays on track.
Why Stability Matters - Especially Now
Let’s be real: Georgia fans haven’t always been 100% sold on every coaching decision this season. There’s been criticism of Bobo’s play-calling at times, and Schumann’s defense - while still elite - has had moments where it looked human. But here’s the reality: keeping this staff together heading into the SEC Championship and potential College Football Playoff is a huge advantage.
When a program loses a coordinator or assistant mid-season, the ripple effects are immediate. Recruits get nervous.
Players lose rhythm. Game plans get tweaked.
Just look around the country.
Ole Miss, for example, is dealing with the fallout of losing Lane Kiffin to LSU right before the biggest game of their season. That kind of disruption can derail a playoff-caliber team. James Madison and North Texas are also navigating championship week without their head coaches - a brutal time to lose leadership.
While those are head coaching changes, the principle holds true for assistants. These are the guys in the film room, on the practice field, and in the players’ ears every day. Their presence - or absence - can make or break a team’s chemistry.
Georgia’s Eyes Stay on the Prize
With an 11-1 record and a shot at another SEC title, Georgia is still firmly in the national championship hunt. And they’re doing it with the full coaching staff that got them there. That’s not just a footnote - it’s a competitive edge.
Kirby Smart has built this program not just on talent, but on cohesion. The Bulldogs know who they are, and a big part of that identity comes from the consistency of the voices leading the way. While other programs scramble to fill vacancies and recalibrate, Georgia is locked in.
So while the headlines are dominated by who’s going where and which program just made a splashy hire, Georgia is quietly sitting in the best position of all: stable, focused, and fully intact.
And that’s exactly how championship runs are made.
