Will Muschamp Officially Joins Georgia Staff

It's been one of the worst kept secrets surrounding the Georgia program. Will Muschamp was announced Wednesday as a member of the coaching staff in Athens.

There's been a well-known secret surrounding the Georgia program for a while surrounding Will Muschamp potentially joining the coaching staff in an off-the-field role. 

Wednesday, head coach Kirby Smart confirmed that Muschamp has been added to the staff to help out as a defensive analyst. 

According to sources, Muschamp has been around the program for several weeks, even assisting in the defensive backs coaching search. 

Muschamp and South Carolina parted ways after a 2-5 start to the regular season. Muschamp ended his time at the school with a 28-30 record, tied for ninth in program history for wins accumulated by a head coach.

Muschamp and Kirby Smart have been friends and co-workers for decades. They first met as members of a Valdosta State coaching staff in 2000 that was loaded with future head football coaches. 

Smart coached the defensive backs on that Valdosta State staff and Muschamp was the defensive coordinator. Now, 20 years later, Muschamp comes to Athens to work for Smart and the Georgia program. 

Muschamp's son Jackson is a walk-on quarterback on the Georgia roster. Jackson enrolled during the 2020 cycle.
