Report: Glenn Schumann to return to Georgia after interviewing for Philadelphia Eagles DC opening

Georgia co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann will return to the school after interviewing for the Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator job, according to ESPN’s Chris Low.

Schumann was the latest college defensive coordinator to interview in Philadelphia, following Michigan’s Jesse Minter and former Wisconsin interim coach Jim Leonhard. The Eagles have yet to make a hire to replace Jonathan Gannon.

Now, Schumann returned to Georgia in an attempt to help the program win a third straight national title.

“Glenn Schumann, after interviewing for the Philadelphia Eagles’ DC job, is returning to Georgia Football, sources tell ESPN,” Low wrote on Twitter. “That’s big news for the Dawgs. Schumann was co-DC and called plays last year for two-time defending champs. Georgia had already lost OC Todd Monken to (the) NFL.”

Schumann was previously a name to watch for Alabama’s defensive coordinator job back in January, according to Bruce Feldman.

Schumann was the co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach at Georgia since 2019. He joined the staff in 2016 solely to coach inside linebackers and then got the title bump. Schumann is only 32 years old.

Schumann worked alongside Dan Lanning — a former Georgia DC who just finished his first season as the Oregon head coach — and currently serves as co-DC alongside Will Muschamp. He came to Georgia from Alabama, where he got his coaching start under Nick Saban.

Schumann was an undergraduate analyst at Alabama for four years at the beginning of Saban’s tenure, from 2008-11.
