UGA's McGarity denies he tried to fire Richt
Mark Richt has been Georgia's football coach since 2001.
There have been plenty of news, nuggets and narratives coming out this week about the Georgia football program and the future of head coach Mark Richt. On Thursday came a report that pertained to last year.
USA TODAY reported that Georgia athletics director Greg McGarity wanted to fire Richt after last year but was over-ruled by president Jere Morehead.
However, McGarity forcefully denied that later to both USA Today and the AJC/DawgNation.
“Simple answer. It wasn’t true,” McGarity said in a text. He also told USA TODAY: “There isn’t one ounce of truth to that. That is not right.”
