The Bulldogs are expected to make a major play for the Alabama DC with Richt's departure.
With today's news that Mark Richt has been fired will step down as Georgia head football coach after fifteen seasons, Gamecocks fans may be bracing for the possibility that the apparent front runner for the South Carolina gig - now reportedly Kirby Smart, but who knows because we've heard a thousand different things in the past few weeks - could be atop the list in Athens. And there's no reason, financial or otherwise, to think that they wouldn't land him if they wanted to, especially since Smart is an alumni and knows the lay of the land there better than any potential candidate that's being floated right now.
