It may just be a matter of time until Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann is no longer an assistant at Georgia. Out of all of Georgia's assistants he is probably the most likely to take a head coach job in the coming years, in fact he almost did it two years ago.
Two years ago he was a serious contender for the the opening at North Carolina. That job ultimately went to Bill Belichick, and after the scandal that's unfolded at UNC over the past two days he should be thankful he never got that job.
Glenn Schumann's career survived by turning UNC down
On Monday North Carolina put their football GM on administrative leave. This news came out of nowhere and no one knew exactly why it was happening, then on Tuesday news broke that UNC was being investigated by the College Sports Commission.
This is the group that enforces compliance rules related to NIL deals across college athletics, so if they are investigating UNC there is a chance they are breaking NIL rules.
If Schumann took the UNC job there's a chance none of this would be happening in the first place. He would run the program differently from Belichick, so the staff members who are being investigated might've never been hired.
But there's a chance that even Schumann couldn't stop this from happening, so it's a good thing he never got that job.
Georgia's defense has been very solid under Schumann since he's been their coordinator. He is someone that Georgia fans would love to have in their program for as long as possible, but at the end of the day everyone knows that his time in Athens is limited.
Glenn Schumann's future at Georgia could end at any point
At a program like Georgia it usually is just a matter of time until their coordinators will leave for a head coaching job. Mike Bobo already did that once and it didn't work out for him, but Schumann hasn't been a head coach yet.
Schumann has been an assistant at Georgia since Kirby Smart's tenure began in 2016. He quickly worked his way up to defensive coordinator, but that's as high as he can climb in Athens. At some point if he wants to take his career to the next level he will have to go elsewhere and become a head coach, and it may only be a matter of time until he does.
Smart extended Schumann's contract through the 2028 season a few months ago. He however may not make it that far because a team might be more than willing to pay any potential buyout to make him their head coach.
Not only did North Carolina consider hiring him two years ago, but Florida gave him a hard look this offseason as well. He still hasn't found the right job for him, but since he is getting looks from Power Four programs already that will likely continue every offseason until he finally lands a new job.
