There’s no credible evidence that Herschel Walker is returning to Athens as the new head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs. A few Facebook posts and clickbait-style sites have been circulating a rumor, but there are no reputable sources—like UGA Athletics, major sports news outlets, or the school’s site—reporting anything close to that claim .
Here’s what’s actually confirmed:
Kirby Smart is the current and confirmed head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, having led the team since 2016. He’s under contract through at least the end of the 2025 season, with a reported annual salary of about $13 million .
No news outlets—such as ESPN, The Athletic, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, or DawgNation—have reported any coaching change involving Herschel Walker.
Walker has been honored by Georgia recently (e.g., induction into UGA’s Circle of Honor in 2025) , but that’s strictly ceremonial and unrelated to any coaching role.

✅ In short:
Kirby Smart remains Georgia’s head coach.
Herschel Walker is a beloved UGA legend and recently inducted into the Circle of Honor—but has no role in the coaching staff.
The “Dawg Dynasty Reimagined” claim appears to be fabricated or unverified clickbait.
Let me know if you want me to keep an eye on developments—if anything official arises, I’ll let you know!
