tjb Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 So, I guess that means I didn't get the job? What a lousy way to find out... Thanks a lot Sac.. Wow, that was quick. I think it is a great hire. But surprised it went down so quick. Good news if true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a great hire. But surprised it went down so quick. Good news if true...The way most people saw it (and thankfully UGA did as well) was that it was McGarity then everyone else. No need to continue looking when it's already there to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SacFalcFan Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 We get a Dawg to come back home. I love the hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuyDawg Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Question for you guysWhat does the hire mean for Coach Richt. What if UGA does not go to the SEC championship game for the next 2 seasons. It makes me wonder because I happen to think that every new AD has a guy in mind for a Head Coach. Think about it guys, it could possibly come up.

We have one of the best (the best according to winning %) in our history. McGarity knows THE man is already at UGA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Dawg Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Another great get. I am liking this upswing it seems we are in. I was skeptical they would hire him because he was a Dooley prodigy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewie Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 This is a great hire for you guys. Of the candidates that had been mentioned, he seemed like the guy that could best move the UGA Athletics program forward.Great Hire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
