Mark Richt fired by Georgia

[pmull]

Going 9-3 is not as good enough. He has a 144-51 record including 6 SEC East Titles, 2 SEC championships and 2 SEC Coach of the Year. Expectations will be very high for the next coach.

Georgia has fired coach Mark Richt, a family source tells ESPN's Mark Schlabach.

Richt has been the Bulldogs coach for 15 seasons and taken Georgia to a bowl game in each of the past 14 years. The Bulldogs are bowl eligible again in 2015 after a 9-3 regular season. He would pick up his 10th double-digit-win season with a bowl victory.

Even so, the Bulldogs are having a disappointing season after starting as the clear-cut favorite in the SEC East only to get blown out by Alabama and Florida.

Maybe Jimbo decided on UGA over LSU?    


Isn't Mark Schlabach also the source for rumors of Les Miles' firing?

UGA Coach Mark Richt to Step Down

"Coach Richt and I met Sunday morning to discuss the status of our football program," said UGA J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity, "and we mutually agreed that he would step down as head coach and would have the opportunity to accept other duties and responsibilities at UGA following the bowl game."

"I appreciate the opportunity of serving the University as well as considering any other options that may present themselves in the future," said Richt.

"On behalf of the University of Georgia Athletic Association and Bulldogs everywhere, I want to thank Mark and Katharyn for 15 years of remarkable service to the UGA community, hundreds of our students and staff, and to college football," McGarity continued.

I don't ever remember this many open HC jobs at the end of a season. 

Where are they going to find coaches to fill all those slots? 

I'm curious to see who Georgia hires.

Mark Richt fired, and Georgia's top target is Alabama DC Kirby Smart

Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart is the Bulldogs' top target, SB Nation's Steven Godfrey reports. Smart played defensive back at Georgia from 1995-98, and was on the coaching staff in 1999 (administrative assistant) and 2005 (running backs coach).

I think everyone expected Smart to make the short list.

Maybe things will turn out like they do in the NFL and all these coaches will just move from school to school and not really change things all that much...

I don't know but CKS blows his chance to catch after CNS if he leaves. CLK is not a HC but he is a great OC and I would think he has started building a championship offense. Gosh, he would be crazy to leave at this point. Just my personal feelings ruight now. RTR!

A bunch of assistants like Smart, Cristobal, & Kiffin, smaller college HC's like Toledo, maybe a former or current NFL guy like Chip Kelly/John Gruden.
