Re: Mark Richt Fired (per Mark Schlabach)

I love Kirby as much as anyone, but, Georgia would be foolish to go after an assistant coach for their next HC..They have the money to go after a big name HC & make several of them say no to them until they find an established HC..Schools like Bama, LSU & Georgia isn't they kinda schools to learn as you go as a HC..I would throw the bank at Fedora at UNC myself..JMO

Re: Mark Richt Fired (per Mark Schlabach)

Agreed

we have no idea if he can build a program, develop players or recruit at all. The CFB landscape is littered with coaches that won with other peoples teams and then failed to deliver
usually uga just has the next herschel coming in via the recruiting class. now they have the next vince dooley lined up. i take all positive expectations of uga with a huge grain of salt.

Mark Richt Fired (per Mark Schlabach)

I don't believe a word of that tweet. But that's just me.

Assistant coaches at UGA were told to carry on with normal responsibilities until after bowl game or new coach is hired. OC and OL Coach were recruiting tonight which must be all sorts of awkward. By the looks of the tweets by many players, they want Pruitt to stay and I know he wants to stay.

Also, UA has said that no school has reached out to them for a Kirby interview.

I'm skeptical as well. I think Kirby is their #1 guy on the list. And rumors have swirled concerning Cochran going with him if he does leave.

I do imagine that if it is the case, their has been some "back door" communications to gage his interest without an "official" interview. That happens all the time. I have doubts about any announce this quickly or any decision on staff in less than 24 hour from the ousting of Richt.

I wonder how well Coach Cochran would be received by The Dawgs..After all they hated him with a passion before "The Blackout" game..

Re: Mark Richt Fired (per Mark Schlabach)

Oh he would be very well received. They hate him because they don't have him.
Kind of the way I felt about the hiring of Kiffin. I thought he was an arrogant jerk when he was at UT. Now that he is at Alabama, he's simply MY kind of guy.... :smile:

I seriously doubt any of this is true. There may be some possibilities for some of it to come to fruition, but announcing Kirby as HC or even hinting at it could undermine any goodwill.

Lol, why would Cochran leave?

So if this by some chance actually happened, the East is basically going to have two full Bama staffs running around. How flattering.

Re: Mark Richt Fired (per Mark Schlabach)

A lot of people have strong opinions on Mark Richt's decision for the GA/FLA game.

These opinions are based on incomplete information.

I don't want to betray any confidences, so this will be my last public comment on this issue.

It's been rumored that Cochran's allegiance is to Smart and wherever Smart goes Cochran will follow.
