The 2015 Georgia Bulldogs football team will represent the University of Georgia in the 2015 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bulldogs will play their home games at Sanford Stadium. They are members of the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference.
Previous season
The 2014 Georgia Bulldogs football team finished the regular season 9-3, with losses to South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia Tech. Even defeating Missouri 34–0, Georgia did not receive a bid to the SEC Championship due to the two SEC losses (Florida and South Carolina). Instead SEC one loss Missouri went the championship game. The Bulldogs became bowl eligible after its win against Arkansas and was invited to play in the Belk Bowl against the Louisville Cardinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference, in which they won, 37-14 to complete a 10-3 season.[1]
Coaching Changes
Offensive Coordinator Mike Bobo left his position to accept the head coaching job at Colorado State at the end of the 2014 season. Offensive line coach Will Friend left Georgia as well to become the offensive coordinator at Colorado State. Coach Bobo was replaced by Brian Schottenheimer who was the St. Louis Rams Offensive Coordinator the past 3 seasons. Schottenheimer was previously the Offensive Coordinator of the New York Jets from 2006-2011 and also coached Quarterbacks for the San Diego Chargers and Washington Redskins. Schottenheimer started playing college football at Kansas before transferring to Florida to play for Steve Spurrier from 1993-1996. Rob Sale was hired to coach the offensive line. Sale came from McNeese State where he coached the offensive line the past 3 seasons. And after Tony Ball took a position with LSU, Georgia graduate, Thomas Brown (running back) was hired from Wisconsin and Bryan McClendon moved from Running Backs Coach to Wide Receivers.
