Not a good year to change AD anyway,

Exactly. I’m not at all surprised and I don’t blame them for sticking with him for another year.

Yeah, like UGA was going to make a change in the midst of 2020 doing 2020 things.

That’s my read too. Way too many variables in the air to make an AD change. The good news is it’s not a multi-year contract.

Wouldn’t have expected anything different. No, it isn’t a great time to make major personnel changes, but this guy should have been gone long before now. No vision, no PR skills, and no balls. Keep pouring money down the rabbit hole ,enjoy the excess while you can. Might want to save that salary for the tougher days.

I wonder who Kirby will approve for his replacement.

You know who would be pretty good as our AD, but he likely wouldn’t want the job?

I don’t know. There’s so much more to being a good athletic director now than it was under Coach Dooley.
I would suggest Matt Stinchcomb … athlete, media guy, successful businessman.

Noooo.
No.
He is not a good businessman. And the friction would be terrible.

Greg’s extension is for him to be the fall guy for whatever happens in the next 6 months.

I have come to the conclusion that Jere Morehead is the Greg McGarity of university presidents.

On this board, McGarity may as well be PDJT. Can’t do anything right!

We need to start looking for a replacement for McGoof now!! It will take that long to find the right person. Unfortunately I have very little confidence that the new AD would be any better.

Very glad we’re not hiring a football coach or AD this year.
