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.
