33 coaches who could be next for big jobs
The college football coaching carousel isn't moving yet, but these are the coaches to watch for the next big job opening.
Top names to watch
Georgia Bulldogs defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann: He has maintained Georgia's defensive dominance since taking over as the team's primary coordinator in 2022. Schumann is an excellent tactician and recruiter, and has spent his entire career around two of the game's elite coaches in Nick Saban and Kirby Smart. His predecessor, Dan Lanning, has had immediate success in his first head-coaching opportunity. But sources note that Schumann, 34, is quite different from Lanning and certainly more connected to the Southeast region. "Is he a Dan Lanning?" an industry source said. "Somebody's going to give him a chance." Also, will the fact that Schumann has only worked at Alabama and Georgia help or hurt his chances for jobs at programs with less history or resources?
…
Georgia cornerbacks coach Donte Williams: The man who replaced Brown at Georgia is worth watching, especially since he has interim head coach experience at USC and has interviewed for some Group of 5 jobs. Williams, 42, is a Los Angeles native most closely connected to the West Coast from his time at USC and Oregon. But he also spent a season at Nebraska and will benefit from working alongside Smart, Schumann and Will Muschamp at Georgia. If a job such as UNLV opens, Williams could get consideration.
