== History ==
 
== History ==
=== 2013 Season ===
+
=== Franz Kafka era (2013-2017) ===
The [[2013 Georgia Bulldogs Football Team|2013 season]] was the first in which the Georgia Bulldogs played. The Dawgs finished the regular season with a 9-3 record and lost to Ohio State in the Capital One Bowl.
+
The Georgia Bulldogs were one of the first schools to hire a head coach before the 2013 season. Franz Kafka coached the Bulldogs for five seasons, compiling a 52-16 record. During his initial tenure, Georgia went to five consecutive bowl games and were ranked 13th or higher in every Coaches Poll from 2013-2017.  Their best season came in 2015, where Georgia won it's sole SEC Championship and earned a trip to the CFBHC Playoffs.  In the Playoffs, Georgia defeated Pac-12 Champion Stanford in the Rose Bowl, before falling to Penn State in the National Semifinal.  Following the 2015 Playoff campaign, Georgia won 10 games in both 2016 and 2017 before Franz Kafka retired from coaching.
  
===2014 Season===
+
=== TheCrimsonChin era (2018) ===
The [[2014 Georgia Bulldogs Football Team|2014 season]] was the second in which the Georgia Bulldogs played.  Georgia began its season with a last second loss to Minnesota, before rattling off ten consecutive wins.  The Bulldogs struggled late in the season, losing back-to-back games against Georgia Tech and in the SEC Championship, but ended the season with a resounding win over Kansas in the Sugar Bowl.
+
Following the departure of Franz Kafka, TheCrimsonChin was hired before the 2018 season.  The Bulldogs finished the regular season with a 7-5 record and recorded their first losing season in conference play.  Georgia ended the season with a victory over Florida State in the Weis Markets Bowl.  TheCrimsonChin retired from coaching after the 2018 season.
  
===2015 Season===
+
=== Lasercats era (2019-2021) ===
The [[2015 Georgia Bulldogs Football Team|2015 season]] was the third in which the Georgia Bulldogs played.  Georgia began its season with a last second loss to Michigan State, before rebounding and winning 10 of their last 11 games. They clinched the SEC East title with a win over arch rival Auburn and defeated Texas A&M for their first SEC Championship.  The Dawgs were the #4 seed in the 2015 playoffs and defeated #5 Stanford in the Sugar Bowl.  Star tailback Brian Houghton tore his ACL against the Cardinal, however, and the Dawgs were dominated by #1 seeded Penn State in the resulting Fiesta Bowl.
+
Lasercats was hired to replace TheCrimsonChin and provide some stability to a program who was on its third coach in three yearsLasercats tenure was highlighted by the 2020 season where Georgia returned to the SEC Championship game for the first time since 2020 and defeated TCU in the Sugar Bowl.  Lasercats left the program in the middle of the 2021 season after compiling a 21-11 record overall.
  
===2016 Season===
+
=== Franz Kafka era (2021-present) ===
==== Schedule ====
+
Franz Kafka returned to Athens in the 2021 season after Lasercats' mysterious disappearance.  Kafka, who had coached the Colorado Buffaloes from 2019-2021, was eager to return to his alma mater.  The 2021 season marked Georgia's first 9-win regular season since 2017 and highest ranked recruiting class in school history (3rd).

The University of Georgia Bulldogs, currently coached by Franz Kafka, are a collegiate football team playing in the SEC. The Bulldogs play in Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, and are a member of the East Division of the SEC.

History

Franz Kafka era (2013-2017)

The Georgia Bulldogs were one of the first schools to hire a head coach before the 2013 season. Franz Kafka coached the Bulldogs for five seasons, compiling a 52-16 record. During his initial tenure, Georgia went to five consecutive bowl games and were ranked 13th or higher in every Coaches Poll from 2013-2017. Their best season came in 2015, where Georgia won it's sole SEC Championship and earned a trip to the CFBHC Playoffs. In the Playoffs, Georgia defeated Pac-12 Champion Stanford in the Rose Bowl, before falling to Penn State in the National Semifinal. Following the 2015 Playoff campaign, Georgia won 10 games in both 2016 and 2017 before Franz Kafka retired from coaching.

TheCrimsonChin era (2018)

Following the departure of Franz Kafka, TheCrimsonChin was hired before the 2018 season. The Bulldogs finished the regular season with a 7-5 record and recorded their first losing season in conference play. Georgia ended the season with a victory over Florida State in the Weis Markets Bowl. TheCrimsonChin retired from coaching after the 2018 season.

Lasercats era (2019-2021)

Lasercats was hired to replace TheCrimsonChin and provide some stability to a program who was on its third coach in three years. Lasercats tenure was highlighted by the 2020 season where Georgia returned to the SEC Championship game for the first time since 2020 and defeated TCU in the Sugar Bowl. Lasercats left the program in the middle of the 2021 season after compiling a 21-11 record overall.

Franz Kafka era (2021-present)

Franz Kafka returned to Athens in the 2021 season after Lasercats' mysterious disappearance. Kafka, who had coached the Colorado Buffaloes from 2019-2021, was eager to return to his alma mater. The 2021 season marked Georgia's first 9-win regular season since 2017 and highest ranked recruiting class in school history (3rd).
