Still that wasn’t enough for some Georgia fans. “But ultimately we want what’s best for him”.

After 15 years as the head coach of the Georgia Bulldawgs, Mark Richt and the University of Georgia have parted ways.
“I wish the best for him”, said senior fullback Quayvon Hicks before the meeting. “I think there will be a lot of options to weigh, so I’m blessed in that way”. He’s the one who tries to get the most out of his players on the field, in the classroom and in life. Now that he’s officially on the market – and has free time, since he set aside the next two weeks for recruiting – it’s expected UM would reach out to him.
In late October, two days after UM coach Al Golden was sacked, Richt, who played at Miami with show star quarterback Jim Kelly & was mostly a backup from 1978 by means of 82, was asked concerning the UM emptiness. With a statement half the length, McGarity delivered a rehearsed thank you to Richt, emphasizing the difficulty of the decision. Fans flocked to Twitter and Facebook, not to voice their displeasure with Richt’s removal, but to honor the former coach.
Virginia Tech has hired Memphis’ Justin Fuente to be its next football coach.
Tom Herman, for now, is still the head coach at the University of Houston.
Since it was announced on Sunday, a number of potential candidates from across college football have been pointed at as the successor to Mark Richt at UGA.
The Bulldogs failed to win the SEC East the last three years with SEC newcomer Missouri going twice and Florida once with a first-year coach. “It’s about being a good coach and being a good leader for your players”. He had 79 players drafted, the most of any head coach since 2002.
Richt was an absolute legend at the college level and there is no denying that he would make a great National Football League coach. “I think when you win nine games, that’s a pretty good season, especially with the body of work that he’s been able to put together there for however many years he’s been there”. It was clear after the game Richt had no plans to step down. He went 5-10 against rival Florida.
“It was a very quiet ride home for me to dig down deep and make sure that was what my heart told me to do”, McGarity said.
KENTUCKY: Junior quarterback Patrick Towles will transfer after starting 10 games this season, coach Mark Stoops said.
When asked how he wants the Richt era to be remembered, he said, “That he loved Georgia and he did it the right way, and he did it hopefully in such a way that it was well pleasing to the Lord”.
Miles won one in 2007, relying mainly on players Saban left behind. I’ve stated that pretty much emphatically for about the last month. Under new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, UGA ranks seventh of 14 SEC teams in yards per play and ninth in scoring.
Current offensive coordinator Cam Cameron’s contract expires at the end of March, and his future with the team will be a focal point of discussion. He began his career as a graduate assistant (1985-88).

“I appreciate the opportunity of serving the University as well as considering any other options that may present themselves in the future”, Richt said Sunday in the school statement.
