Former Georgia men’s basketball coach Mark Fox penned his goodbye to Bulldog fans on Twitter.

The University of Georgia announced Saturday the firing of Fox.

In a statement, athletic director Greg McGarity confirmed the reports.

“In the end, I felt like we have not reached our full potential as a basketball program. I really thought we were on the way to turning the corner this year. We just did not achieve the level of success as a program that I believe we should at the University of Georgia.”
