While possible, not likely. I'm sure they are both more worried about the NFL possibilities than that. I could see Eason decommiting though. It is probably too soon, but I am willing to make another post bet that Hurd will be taken in the NFL draft higher than Michel. I think I'll wait on that one. How about Michel and Chubb vs. Hurd and Kamara next year?

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.
Mark's record on the field was outstanding; however, his impact on college football goes well beyond the gridiron. His fingerprints are evident on shaping the lives of children, many of whom attend a Bulldog summer camp or a retreat; they are evident on the prospective student-athletes as they determine what college to attend --- whether it be UGA or a competitor; they are evident on his current players, and probably even more so, on those who have lettered and are in the workplace, as fathers and husbands. For those contributions, we are sincerely appreciative.
Mark has touched thousands of lives over the past 15 years --- he has a huge heart and his positive influence has affected many people, young and old. We will never actually know how many people were positively impacted by a comforting phone call, a sympathetic or uplifting note, an autographed football or photo --- he had the unique ability to shine a bright light on others when they needed it most.
Mark has the opportunity to remain on our staff at the University of Georgia, and would be heavily involved with outreach programs for our former football lettermen via the PO Network as well as other University and Athletic Association initiatives. We wish Mark, Katharyn and his family the best as he enters a new chapter of his life.
Mark Richt has been an outstanding coach and mentor to our student-athletes during his fifteen-year tenure, and we have developed a strong and enduring friendship during that time, said UGA President Jere W. Morehead. I am deeply grateful for his many years of dedicated service to the University of Georgia, and I particularly appreciate the positive way he has represented UGA. I have asked Mark to remain engaged with the institution in a new leadership role, and I look forward to hopefully working closely with him as we advance our capital campaign at the University of Georgia. I know all UGA alumni and supporters will look forward to celebrating the successful conclusion of his coaching career at UGA in a bowl game later this year. I want to wish Katharyn and the Richt family all the best.

I've seen that they will go after Kirby. Would that be an upgrade? Probably not. I've said from the beginning that firing Richt and Les would be mistakes.

I have a feeling they will try to make Kirby a very wealthy man. Wonder if Pruitt would stay on as DC?

FWIW, Wes Rucker said that he did not think that this was a good thing for UT. He thought that Kirby or Mullen were a worse case scenario for this hire and that they will have their pick of a lot of GREAT coaches. Wonder if Chip Kelly is in play here?

I would not imagine McGarity offered him his job no, I know that... I was making a joke that McGarity would get fired for this heinousness and Richt would take his job.

I would think that USC would be his first choice.

Les stayed, London got a extra year. Sabans at Bama Fuentes at VT Kyle Shan with Falcons Jay Gruden not fired and on and on... UGAs landing a superstar like Chip Kelly. Just to continue to have coaching moves piss me off. Be excited UGA fans. Its gonna be good. Mike London has resigned at UVA. I really thought he could turn that program around, but Al Groh apparently ruined it.

It had better not be an assistant coach. It better be a big name or McGarity is going to be run out of town on a rail.

Get rid of Butch Jones and hire him today!!! I have to wait and see. Richt is a good coach and deserved better than UGA treated him. Agreed.

So, if I read that right, Butch Jones and Mark Stoops are the longest tenured coaches in the SEC East.
