Mark Richt To Not Coach UGA Football Team In Bowl Game

He took immediate action in the aftermath of head coach Mark Richt’s announced departure from Georgia, traveling to Gainesville less than 48 hours later. University of Georgia Athletic Director McGarity said in a… If Smart is unable to rectify the quarterback problem, he may struggle to reach the consistency of Richt. He’s worked really hard to do a great job with our defense for nine years now. With any luck the Canes will hold their coaches clinic again next summer so I can get to have a sit down with Coach Richt as a dream come true!

Richt was sacked from his job at UGA after 15 years as the head coach. He was sacked by UGA on Sunday.

On Tuesday, Walton – a freshman – took to social media to share his thoughts on the possibility of Richt taking over at Miami writing on Twitter, “I will love to see Mark Richt in [an] orange and green coaching uniform in 2016 as a Hurricane”. He coached for 15 years at Georgia will lead the team in its bowl game following a 9-3 finish to the regular season. Smart is from Bainbridge and played football there, as well as graduating from there in the 1990s. Smart spent the 2005 season as Georgia’s running backs coach, helping the Bulldogs to their most recent SEC title, and then reunited with Saban as the Dolphins’ safeties coach. We don’t think we need to tell you how good this news is for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Muschamp has proven himself a capable defensive coordinator, but Smart would be better served to call defensive plays himself or try to keep current defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt on staff. The other thing he’s done a good job of in the past is recruiting. “I’m sure Nick, like any coach, might suggest something every once in a while, but there is no question Kirby has had an enormous responsibility and a lot to do with their success”.

Previous reports indicated UM was looking to pay its next head football coach $4 million per year, which is on par with Richt’s salary at Georgia.
