It doesn’t appear as if Will Muschamp will be coaching for Georgia in 2025. He is not listed as part of the coaching staff in the team’s preseason media guide. Mark Weiszer of the Athens Banner Herald was the first to report.

Muschamp served as a full-time staff member at Georgia for three seasons from 2021 to 2023. The Bulldogs went 42-2 during that stretch, winning National Championships in 2021 and 2022.

Muschamp was the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach for the 2021 season. After originally being hired as a senior defensive analyst, he replaced Scott Cochran, who left the team due to his own personal issues that have been well-documented.

Dan Lanning served as Georgia’s defensive coordinator in 2021. When he left to become the head coach at Oregon, Georgia promoted Glenn Schumann and Will Muschamp to co-defensive coordinators. Schumann handled play-calling duties, while Muschamp worked with the safety/star positions.

In his first season as co-defensive coordinator, Georgia won its second consecutive National Championship with a perfect 15-0 record. Under his tutelage, Javon Bullard earned defensive MVP honors in both of UGA’s College Football Playoff victories that season.

Muschamp returned to Georgia in 2023 in the same role, once again working with Fran Brown in the Bulldog secondary. That season, UGA won 12 straight games and finished the regular season undefeated for the third consecutive year. The Bulldogs extended their winning streak to 29 games before Alabama ended it with a 24-21 loss in the SEC Championship Game.

The veteran assistant and two-time SEC head coach took on a smaller role the following season. With his son, Whit, headed to Vanderbilt to play quarterback, Muschamp transitioned into an analyst role. This position allowed him to work with the team during the week, Monday through Thursday, while spending Saturdays with his family to support his son at Commodore games.

Muschamp has made his mark all over the SEC

Before his time at Georgia, Muschamp spent nearly five seasons as South Carolina’s head coach. He took that job after a one-year stint at Auburn in 2015. Before that, he served as the head coach at Florida from 2011 to 2014. Muschamp also worked as the defensive coordinator at Auburn (twice), Texas, and LSU.

Kirby Smart credits Muschamp with helping jumpstart his career. In 2000, Muschamp, then the defensive coordinator at Valdosta State, brought Smart in for an interview to work with defensive backs. Muschamp, who walked on as a safety at Georgia from 1991 to 1994, played a key role in giving Smart his early coaching opportunity.
