Will Muschamp hired as Texas defensive coordinator after stint at Georgia
Will Muschamp is returning to the coaching sidelines, but this time, for a different SEC program.
Texas announced that it would be parting ways with defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski and hiring Muschamp, who had worked with Georgia in an unspecified off-field role this season.
Muschamp was an analyst at Georgia in 2024 and joined the program in 2021. He served in a variety of different roles at Georgia, including as the team’s co-defensive coordinator for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Muschamp was not listed as an official coach on Georgia’s 2025 coaching roster, but coach Kirby Smart clarified he would still be involved at the 2025 SEC media days.
“Yeah, Will’s still going to be with us and helping us in some capacity,” Smart said.
Muschamp has previous experience as Texas’s defensive coordinator, as he served in the role from 2008 through 2010.
Georgia beat Texas 35-10 in Athens this past season. The two schools are not scheduled to play again until 2027.
