This is from an Atlanta sports guy:

Dunno. Seems like this would be a leap. Schumann is 32 years old and was a co-DC in Athens. He doesn’t have any NFL coaching experience and split UGA duties with Will Muschamp.

Schumann did, however, coach Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, and many other SEC studs. He spent four years with Nick Saban as an Alabama graduate assistant and is seen as a rising star in the college ranks. I just can’t imagine a guy the same age as Darius Slay would/could make the jump to NFL defensive coordinator, but hires are getting younger and younger these days. It would definitely be an outside-the-box move. Maybe he’s not actually talking to the Birds about the DC job, but something else instead. Maybe he’d be a Nick Rallis replacement, since the Birds lost their LB coach to Arizona.
