ATHENS - Several of the coaches on the Georgia Bulldogs’ staff have been given new contracts.
Information released today by Freedom of Information requests reveals financial details of the contracts of Tray Scott, Will Muschamp, Glenn Schumann and Chidera Uzo-Diribe. Scott, who has coached the Bulldogs’ defensive line, had his pay increased by 20% to $750,000 annually.
Muschamp and Schumann, who are listed as co-defensive coordinators, will each earn $800,000 a year in 2022. Uzo-Diribe, who is taking over the outside linebackers spot left vacant as a result of Dan Lanning’s departure to be head coach at Oregon, will pull in $450,000 in 2022.
Georgia will take on Lanning and the Ducks to open the 2022 season in Atlanta. The Dawgs are considered one of the favorites in college football to win the national title according to Fan Duel.
Smart told reporters earlier this month that he was happy with the work Scott had done with the defensive line over the last few years.
“It will help more if those guys are successful in the NFL or get drafted high because I think that will give validation to Tray Scott’s development that he took some guys that might not have been the highest rated coming out but they might be the highest rated coming out of college as opposed to high school,” Kirby said. “He is a tremendous teacher. I mean Tray is a technician. He sells himself on not a lot of flash, but a lot of work - developing young men into good defensive linemen, but even better people. He has got a little bit of proof to validate that now with Travon Walker, Devonte Wyatt and Jordan Davis all coming out of that room.Those are three guys that are going to be really good NFL football players.”
