The Georgia Bulldogs are bringing in a new defensive coach just after spring practice wrapped up. Matt Zenitz from CBS Sports is reporting that veteran defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh is joining the Bulldogs.
Brumbaugh started off his coaching career 21 years ago at Jacksonville State. Since then, he’s bounced around the country quite a bit, mostly focusing on coaching the defensive line, though he’s also got experience in strength and conditioning.
He coached the defensive line at Syracuse in 2010 and then just the defensive tackles there in 2011. After that, he spent a year in the junior college scene, coaching the defensive line and helping with strength and conditioning at East Mississippi Community College.
After East Mississippi Community College, Brumbaugh had his longest coaching gig so far, spending four years at Kentucky from 2013 to 2016. Following that, he was the co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Maryland for two seasons before heading west to coach at Colorado for the 2019 season.
In 2020, Brumbaugh was a co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Tennessee. Then, in 2021, he was a defensive analyst at Oregon with Dan Lanning. He went back to his old school, Auburn, in 2022 to coach the defensive line for a year before heading to Coastal Carolina for the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Now, he is headed to UGA. However, his role with the Bulldogs is unclear.
Back in his playing days, Brumbaugh was a standout for Auburn, earning All-SEC honors. He was an Auburn Tiger for five seasons, from 1995 to 1999, racking up close to 300 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, and 15 sacks.
