Richt FIRED, Kirby Smart to be next UGA coach- College Football New Coaches Thread

[ItsDookie87]

Makes LSU look worse and the circus they created. Had only heard the usual Richt rumors out of UGA then the hammer drops, that's how it's supposed to work.

I hear Michael Stipe's available.

Am I the only one that thinks it'll be funny if Kirby doesn't get it considering how long he's waited for it? Apparently Mullen wants it bad.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't get it but anything is possible. Probably the next Saban coaching tree failure.

Mark Richt's 15-year career at Georgia: • 145-51 record • 9-3 this season • 9 10-win seasons • 9-5 career record in bowl games

I will sacrifice a bulldawg to whatever pagan god needed to ensure this.

I guess this means they feared someone else would get Smart.

USCe

It just keeps getting worse and worse for us

Wonder what they're thinking in Coral Gables?

Huge power shift happening in the SEC East. We gotta chance to cement ourselves on top for some time to come.

This to me is when the coaching carousel gets interesting. Assuming they do not go for an asst. coach or someone from the NFL, this where where the lateral moves begin. I have always heard the UGA AD was enamored with Cousin Eddie (Oh please let them hire Mullen) or perhaps he gets excited by a Larry Fedora type (I would like that as well). Someone mentioned this job was 2nd only to USCw of the current openings. I disagree. This job is better than USCw as openings go. USCw is great when they are winning, but when it is middling, you do not have the rabid fan base. Jobs like UGA, LSU, Alabama, etc. etc etc. are under the microscope 24/7/365, and that along with the money, facilities, conference, etc. etc etc. make these jobs the very top!!!!

Fulmeresque, except worse.

 

[ItsDookie87]

So Butch Jones is now the longest tenured coach in the SEC East lol.

Not at the rate we're recruiting.

 

[GatorTAG]

Derek Dooley is available.

@SportsCenter: BREAKING: Rutgers fires head coach Kyle Flood and athletic director Julie Hermann. (via @McMurphyESPN)

 

[Swampergator]

Dog gone...

 

[williston_gator]

Some account claiming to be UGA insider (with only 90 followers) claims Ton Herman will be the new coach already agreed. We shall see.

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Wow. They obviously want Kirby bad since Cocks were closing in on him.

Richt to USCe? Wouldn't that be some ****.

 

[GatorTAG]

Herman would probably cause Eason to stay committed.
