Georgia Bulldogs
· 2026-07-09
Georgia Bulldogs announced that offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann have both signed extensions that keep them with the program through the 2028 season. The contracts, filed via an open‑records request, were signed in January and guarantee Bobo through Jan. 31, 2029, while Schumann’s deal runs until the end of the 2028 campaign.
The university extended Bobo’s deal, which originally would have expired June 30, 2027, adding two more years and a clause that runs into early 2029. Schumann’s extension mirrors the timeline, locking him in through the 2028 season. Both agreements were finalized in the offseason, signaling a clear intent to retain the coaching staff that helped the Bulldogs dominate recent SEC play.
Mike Bobo first served as Georgia’s offensive coordinator from 2007‑14 before leaving for a head‑coaching stint elsewhere. He returned to Athens in 2024 and will now enter his fourth season in the role. Glenn Schumann has been the defensive coordinator since 2021, guiding a unit that consistently ranks among the nation’s best against the run and pass.
Stability at the coordinator level gives head coach Kirby Smart a solid foundation for recruiting and game planning. With Bobo’s pro‑style offense and Schumann’s aggressive blitz schemes, the Bulldogs can continue to field balanced attacks and stout defenses, crucial for maintaining their SEC championship aspirations. The extensions also send a message to recruits that the coaching staff isn’t going anywhere.
The Bulldogs open the 2026 season against the Tennessee State Tigers on Sept. 5, 2026. With Bobo and Schumann secured, fans can expect the same offensive firepower and defensive intensity that propelled Georgia to multiple conference titles in recent years.
The contracts were confirmed through an open‑records request obtained by The Atlanta Journal‑Constitution, underscoring the university’s transparency about its long‑term plans for the football program.
