FSU TO STEAL GEORGIA'S TOP ASSISTANT?! Glenn Schumann Could Be Florida State's NEXT Head Coach! · FSU Football: Doak Talk

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Next one to discuss is Glenn Shuman, the UGA defensive coordinator.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about this one a little bit in the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: comment packet. Glenn, in my opinion, is a really good recruiter,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: really good recruiter, linebacker developer. You got Raylon Wilson, a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: five-star from right here in Tallahassee, Lincoln. Ended up snatching
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: him from right up under our nose. He's balling for UGA,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and that's just one of the linebackers he recruited, right?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, those guys recruit that position at a very
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: high clip. Darren gets linebacker drafted every year in the NFL.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I will probably honestly call Georgia linebacker you right now
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with how they've been producing. It's been really great since
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Kirby has took over. And since Kirby has took over,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Glenn has been the focal point and the driving force
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: behind the linebacker position. It was also under Nick Saban
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: at Alabama previously when Kirby Smarks, the defensive coordinator there.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And the first call that Kirby made when he was
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: named the head coach at Georgia was Glenn Schumann to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: come onto his staff. So, That's something to note as well.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Won't be an outrageous buyout, you know, being thrown around,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you know, being a defensive coordinator at University of Georgia.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: He also knows what it looks like, right? And I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: say he knows what it looks like. He knows what
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a winning program looks like. He knows what a elite
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: program looks like. He knows what it takes, the ingredients,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to build a championship roster today. not just from a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: recruiting standpoint, a development standpoint, camaraderie standpoint, all of those things.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: You can tie that to his time with saving McCourse's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: time with Kirby Smart in Alabama. He has also been
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a part of some high stake environments at Bama and UGA.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So we all know the pressure that comes with being
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the coach at Florida State, right? That pressure can make
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: or break you. That pressure kind of broke Willie Taggart.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: The moment was kind of too big for Willie Taggart.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You can see at a certain point that pressure broke
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Mike Norvell. You're playing these high-stakes games. You have a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: fan base that expects greatness, expects wins, and gets down
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to 31. That isn't delivered. The fan base is going
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to let you know about that. Georgia's the same way.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The same way. High-stakes environment. Those guys are all about winning. Bama,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: high-stakes environment. Those guys are all about winning. You lose
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: one game, you know, you're scrutinized heavily in this time
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: third because of the program you built. So he's been
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a part of high stakes environment, knows what all comes
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: into it. Now, of course, it's different being a coordinator
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in a high stakes environment type of job versus being
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a head coach because that's two completely animals. That's something
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he would definitely have to adjust with and kind of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: learn on the job if he's given that opportunity. But
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: at the same time, like I said, you've been watching
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Kirby Smart and how he handled those situations. You were
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: under Nick Saban and see how he handles those situations.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So the pedigree is, from a pedigree standpoint, it doesn't
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: get any better. It's top tier, right? But like I said,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: being a head coach is different, but you have comparable experiences.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: He has his chops in the South. He knows the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: lay of the land, recruits the area. From the Valdosta area,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: recruits Florida, Georgia. Pretty much whatever you need within Tallahassee.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about my guy, Grimes. He mentioned this all
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the time. Everything you need in Tallahassee is within a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: 250-mile radius. 250. Go over to Jacksonville. Go west, Pensacola,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Alabama area, Georgia. And, of course, you have the Central
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Florida area. Only time you need to go outside that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: 250 is if you're going a little further south in
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the South Florida. but everything you truly need is within
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the two 50 radius. And of course you go down
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to South Florida and get, get your dogs down there
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: from Broward day in Palm beach. Right? So he knows
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the little land. He knows that those recruiting areas knows
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: those stumping grounds already has relationships built in those areas.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So it'd be a seamless transition for them to get in,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: recruit and get going at Florida state. Let's talk about
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: some of the cons first time head coach. That's important.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, We're at Florida State now. We're at a
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: very important, pivotal, excuse me, I'm not the greatest speaker,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: pivotal time for Florida State as far as the program.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: We can't mess this up. We can't mess this up.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: We already went G5 twice with Willie Tiger, Mike Norvell,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: didn't work out. If you mess this one up, you could,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the program could be going, which I don't really believe,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but the program could just be in a a downward
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: spiral with how things are going from the NCAA standpoint.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So you have to kind of get this right. So
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I do understand the pause on the guy that never
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: actually ran the program. But the closest thing, in my opinion, to,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I guess, running a program, if you're not a G5
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: head coach, and even not being a G5 head coach,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: being a coordinator at these type of jobs, right, these
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: type of jobs, I think there's value in that as well.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So being a coordinator in these type of jobs, Georgia,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just use Georgia for example, he fits that Georgia, Florida, LSU, Bama,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: these type of jobs, like high-stake jobs where it's not
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: on the line and you're getting scrutinized very heavily at
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: those jobs. It's not, of course, nothing compares to actually
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: being a head coach, but being a coordinator at a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: high-stake job does mean something. But again, that's a con,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: being a first-time head coach. How much is the defense
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: really him? He is a D.C., but how much of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that defense is really him? We all know Kirby Smart
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is a defensive savant. Going back to his Bama days,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: hell of a coordinator. Even at Georgia, early on, he
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: was kind of co-coordinated at a certain point in time, too.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You also had Mel Tucker, who was defensive coordinator prior
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: at Georgia. Dan Lanning, Will Muschamp, all coordinators as well.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And now you have Glenn Schumann taking over as the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: main play caller. Tucker went to be a head coach
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at Michigan State, then Atlanta. Of course, he went to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: be the head coach at Oregon. Muschamp is now the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator at the University of Texas. The defensive rankings,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they have taken a dip under Glenn Shulman. They have
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: dipped to the mid-20s, if I'm not mistaken, versus being
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a consensus top 10 under those defensive coordinators and that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: type of deal, with recruiting pretty much staying the same. Now,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: The recruiting prowess of Georgia hasn't dipped off. They're still
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: bringing in top five, top ten classes, still prioritizing the trenches,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: elite linebacks, that type of deal. Recruiting elite, I guess
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you could say probably Ohio State, maybe that's a conversation
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: who's recruited the defense better over the years. So I
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: say that to say that your defense hasn't fallen off
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: from a recruiting standpoint. But your rankings have fallen off.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Those guys are pretty much a lock in the top
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: 10 to be in the mid-20s. Now, that isn't bad
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: with today's offenses. It's just something to point out that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the defensive production has dropped under Glenn Shulman when the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: recruiting under Curry Smart on the defensive side of the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: ball hasn't dropped off at all. They're still getting whoever
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: they want out of the portal. Not the portal, but
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the portal too, I guess, but from the high school ranks.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: So that's something to note as well. But again, I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: do think Glenn will possibly be a good fit for FSU.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Those are some of the pros and cons on Glenn.
