Report: Plenty of salary increases for Georgia assistant coaches this offseason

A lot of salary changes since the Dawgs won it all.

Per a report from DawgNation, multiple Georgia assistant coaches have received pay increases this offseason.

Offensive coordinator Todd Monken remains the highest paid assistant on Kirby Smart’s staff and received a $150,000 salary increase – bringing him from $1.1 million annually to $1.25 million.

Defensive line coach Tray Scott received a nice pay raise as well, taking him from $400,000 up to $750,000, DawgNation reported.

29 year outside linebackers coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe, whose hiring was announced in early February, will earn $450,000 per year, DawgNation learned in an FOIA request.

Georgia hired Bryan McClendon as receivers coach to replace Cortez Hankton – who left for the same position at LSU – in January. He is set to earn an annual salary of $700,000, whereas Hankton was earning $550,000 with Georgia in 2021. Hankton’s new deal at LSU is reportedly worth $900,000 per year.

Last year with Oregon, McClendon earned $515,000, according to the USA TODAY assistant coaching salary database.

Co-defensive coordinators Will Muschamp and Glenn Schumann will earn $800,000 per year. Muschamp, who was on Georgia’s staff last season as a defensive analyst was earning a salary of $500,000, while Schumann was making $600,000 as the linebackers coach, a duty he shared with former defensive coordinator Dan Lanning who is now the head coach at Oregon.

According to the USA TODAY Sports database, Georgia had the highest assistant coach salary pool in the SEC in 2021, totaling $7.93 million. At this present time, based on the information UGA provided to DawgNation, Georgia’s assistant coach salary pool equates to $7.475 million, a $455,000 decrease from 2021.

Georgia football names co-defensive coordinators

The Oregon Ducks are hiring Georgia Bulldogs defensive coordinator Dan Lanning as their head coach. How and when is UGA replacing Lanning?

The Oregon Ducks are hiring Georgia Bulldogs defensive coordinator Dan Lanning as their head coach. Once again, Kirby Smart will has to replace a key member of his staff.

Lanning’s first career game as the head coach of the Oregon Ducks will be against the Georgia Bulldogs on Sept. 3, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia. It will be interesting to see who Lanning takes with him to Oregon. Lanning may consider hiring UGA assistants, like defensive backs coach Jahmile Addae, to be the next Oregon defensive coordinator.

How and when will Georgia have to replace Dan Lanning?

Watch: Georgia is LBU

Georgia football former players and current coaches release ‘LBU’ hype video in an effort to recruit the top LBs in the country to UGA.

A number of former Georgia players and current coaches have released an ‘LBU’ hype video in an effort to recruit the top linebacker prospects in the nation to Athens.

The video features former Dawg linebackers such as Roquan Smith, Natrez Patrick and Tae Crowder, who have now made it to the NFL, crediting UGA and its coaches for preparing them for the next level.

WATCH:

Glenn Schumann, the Georgia inside linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator, gets high praise throughout the video.

“Being coached by the best linebacker coach in the country, coach Schumann, everything we did at Georgia I do now in the league,” said Smith.

Smith was the recipient of the 2017 Butkus Award, awarded annually to the most outstanding linebacker in college football.  Smith is the only Georgia player to receive this high honor.  That year, Smith also won the title of SEC Defensive Player of the Year, First-team All-SEC as well as the SEC Championship Game MVP.

“The linebackers should be the tone-setters for the defense, I want my energy to be contagious to other people on the field and I want my players’ energy to be contagious.” said Schumann in the hype video.

Current Georgia linebackers Nakobe Dean, Monty Rice and Quay Walker are also featured in the video.  These three are all expected to play pivotal roles in Georgia’s defense in 2020, a defense that finished No. 1 overall in team defense in 2019 and allowed only two rushing touchdowns all season.

In Georgia’s 2020 No.1 overall recruiting class, the sole linebacker committed is 4-star Washington, D.C. native MJ Sherman, listed as the No. 2 outside linebacker recruit in the country by 247Sports.

For the 2021 class, Georgia currently has the No. 10 inside linebacker committed in 4-star Baltimore, MD native Jamon Dumas-Johnson.

The Dawgs hope to land 2021 5-star Dallas, GA native Smael Mondon, who is listed at 6-foot-3, 220 lbs and the No. 2 outside linebacker in the country.  247Sports experts have all given their Crystal Ball predictions for Mondon in favor of Georgia.

With the departure of Rice and his fellow rising senior Nate McBride coming following this season, the emphasis on locking down the next wave of linebackers is huge for the Georgia coaching staff.

This video shows why players want to come to Georgia, and that is ultimately to be NFL ready by the end of their college careers.  Showcasing the likes of NFL stars Roquan Smith and Natrez Patrick, as well as Tae Crowder’s transformation from a 2-star wide receiver to an NFL linebacker, is the perfect plan to recruit the top linebackers in the country to Georgia.

Three Georgia football assistants receive pay-raise

Clearly, the powers that be are pleased with these defensive staffers’ collective performance.

Three of Kirby Smart’s staff are set to land hefty pay-raises ahead of the 2020 college football season. For anyone who watched every Georgia game in 2019, it comes as no surprise that all three are on the defensive side of the ball.

Last season, Dan Lanning earned $750,000 as a first-year defensive coordinator. Georgia’s 2019 defense was historically impressive and Lanning is now set to reap the benefits. His salary next season will be $1.25 million, as reported by the Athens Banner-Herald.

That’s an eye-popping increase, adding two thirds of his original contract value to his salary. This ranks Lanning in the ninth spot of the highest-paid defensive coordinators and fifth in the Southeastern Conference.

Given last season’s stout defense, he was certainly being underpaid and thus attracted a slew of offers to be another school’s DC. Georgia’s athletics department proved that they’re willing to go deep into their pockets to keep Dan Lanning around.

Co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach Glenn Schumann is receiving a raise of $50,000. His pay in 2019 was listed at $550,000 annually; the 9.1 percent hike brings Schumann to a clean $600,000 in 2020. He’s done well for himself since making $325,000 two years ago.

Defensive line coach Tray Scott will also be earning $600,000 in 2020. He’s been awarded a $130,000 raise, up from $470,000 in 2019, which was up from his original UGA salary of $400,000 when he arrived in Athens in 2017.

Clearly, the powers that be are pleased with these defensive staffers’ collective performance.

Behind the scenes, Georgia alumnus and director of player development Jonas Jennings is the benefactor of a $100,000 pay bump, bringing him from $306,000 to $406,000 per year.

CFB’s top-paid LB coaches: Where does Georgia’s Glenn Schumann rank?

Kirby Smart and company spare little expense when hiring the coaching pieces that best fit the Bulldogs’ puzzle.

Kirby Smart and company spare little expense when hiring the coaching pieces that best fit the Bulldogs’ puzzle.

Georgia inside linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann arrived in Athens from the University of Alabama, where he worked under Smart as the Crimson Tide’s Director of Development and Associate Director of Player Personnel.

Schumann briefly held behind-the-scenes recruiting role early on in Kirby Smart’s tenure as Georgia’s head football coach before being quickly promoted to an on-field linebackers coach in 2017.

As per FootballScoop, Schumann is the third highest-earning LB coach in college football, behind Sal Sunseri of Alabama and Coleman Hutzler of Texas.

Sunseri tips the scales at $650,000 and Hutzler rakes in $600,000 under his contract. Schumann is tied at third with Washington’s Bob Gregory. Both coaches’ salaries are listed at $550,000.

Unlike the lyrics from but very much like the bank accounts of rock and roll super-group Temple of the Dog (Temple of the Dawg?), nobody on the list is going hungry.

Kirby Smart wants to eat.

He wants his players to eat (warning: language NSFW).

It would appear he wants his position coaches to eat, too.
