I actually posted decent information for a change :) Although, technically, it does not sound as if this was really a mutual decision here - seems more like a firing...will have to wait and see if the other parts come true though.

I gave you props around here somewhere. Honestly, after the initial "holy öööö!" my first thought when Wes broke the news was your post. I don't mind so much if your source was right about Smart but I'd love him to be wrong about Eason.

I saw an AJC piece that said the decision was made after the events of the week leading up to the Florida game. I think that was when we were discussing the potential Pruitt fist fight or some such, right?

“It was never about what happened in the Tech game,” said a person familiar with the athletic department’s inner workings. The decision to make a change actually had been made “weeks ago.”

Serious discussions commenced the week after Georgia lost to Florida 27-3 on Oct. 31, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution learned. The lopsided loss and the decisions Richt and his staff made in the days leading up to the critical SEC Eastern Division match-up swayed the opinion of many state decision-makers and influential UGA alumni. They made their opinions known to McGarity and UGA President Jere Morehead.

Here's at least one of the indicators that something had been going on.

Richt press conference seemed to indicate that he felt compelled to stay in Athens, but misses hands on coaching. We won't know where he is going for awhile.

If true, it's pretty funny and I'm a bit surprised. Saw more mutts who wanted him than wanted Smart or anyone else. Herman seems like the protege most likely to go the way of his mentor to me.

I grew up in gainesville. Senior year of hs we used to go to athens every few weeks to go to toppers and/or a party. One time my supermutt friend was the DD. We were on our way home and saw a dude öööö faced and stumbling on the side of the road by himself. My supermutt friend recognizes him and yells "Kirby Smart, what's up man? You're Kirby Smart right?". And it was. All I remember is him saying "lets go get some ööööö" over and over. We ended up giving him a ride somewhere. Drove around at least half an hour before we could understand where he wanted to go. I could not believe it when he started rising in the coaching ranks.

Good stuff coming out of the "UGA Insider" now!

BREAKING: UGA Insider has been told that Herman re-signing with UH for bigger buyout only helps UofH when he leaves for UGA on Saturday.

And this guy ripping him a new one.

Guys he has a point. Why sign with a low buyout. Help your old school pay 4 a replace and screw the new one over.
