Former ESPN “College GameDay” analyst and Georgia Bulldogs defensive end David Pollack envisions major changes coming for Georgia football this offseason.
“I think there will be several changes to the Georgia (coaching) staff,” said David Pollack. “It’s already coming down the pipe and that will come out soon.”
Two potential coaching staff changes Georgia could explore are offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and offensive line coach Stacy Searels. Of course, with the current rate of change in college football, we would not be surprised to see even more changes.
“I think you’re going to have 25 plus portal additions. I think people are going to jump in the portal because that’s the world we live in,” added Pollack. Georgia already had nine players (two of which were off the roster) enter the transfer portal ahead of the Sugar Bowl.
Later, Pollack went on to up the amount of UGA players he thinks will enter the portal. “I would be shocked if you don’t get to 30. I think you’ll get to 35 like that is the kind of action you’ll get in the portal,” Pollack continued.
Georgia would need 26 additional players to enter the transfer portal to reach the 35 players in the portal. Last offseason, Georgia had 26 players enter the transfer portal (includes multiple walk-ons), so 35 players is not outside of the realm of possibility.
Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia enters the offseason with more questions than answers about the 2025 season. The main question is who will be UGA’s starting quarterback?
“Interested to see the quarterback position,” said Pollack. Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton looked solid in his first career start against Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl, but it was not enough for Georgia to win and the Bulldogs totaled just 10 points. Many of Georgia’s offensive struggles weren’t Stockton’s fault (see: drops, poor blocking).
We think this offseason could end up as one of the defining moments of the Kirby Smart era. Will Georgia resemble a national championship contender or will the Bulldogs have to undergo a quick rebuild?
