Three UGA Assistant Coaches Receive Extensions

Three UGA assistant coaches received one-year contract extensions following the 2020 season.

According to a report by OnlineAthens' Marc Weiszer, Georgia decided to extend the contracts of three assistant coaches earlier this year. 

Those three include offensive line coach Matt Luke, inside linebackers coach Glenn Schumann and defensive line coach Tray Scott. All three coaches agreed to one-year contract extensions in February. 

Weiszer reports that Luke is now under contract through the 2023 season, while Schumann and Scott both have contracts that will run through the 2022 season. 

Schumann, the co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach, has been with head coach Kirby Smart since 2016 when Smart was hired to replace former head coach Mark Richt. Following the 2018 season, Schumann was promoted to co-defensive coordinator after former coordinator Mel Tucker took the head coaching job at Colorado. 

Scott joined the Dawgs in 2017 as the defensive line coach following the firing of Tracy Rocker, while Luke came to Athens after being fired from Ole Miss as the head coach after the 2019 season. 

Smart has had his coaching staff pillaged over the recent years and keeping key assistants like Luke, Schumann and Scott locked up will at least forgo their departures for a few more seasons. It also provides a level of security on the recruiting front.
