Report: UGA “power brokers” discussing a departure from Mark Richt era
Following Saturday’s 27-3 loss to No. 11 Florida, UGA coach Mark Richt’s seat has become quite warm.
While there have been discussions in the past about UGA possibly cutting ties with Richt — most notably from 2009 to 2011 — this year’s talks appear to be more serious, according to Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman.
Hearing that #UGA power brokers & big dogs now asking questions/talking about potentially moving on–unlike ever before in Mark Richt era.

@TravHaneyESPN Heard this is a much different level than last year or anytime before since Richt's been there.

UGA has lost three of its past four games: a 38-10 blowout at home against Alabama, a 38-31 loss on the road to Tennessee after blowing a 21-point lead and Saturday’s loss to rival Florida. If these reports are true, it appears that those in charge may be considering a change.
