The body of work of Greg McGarity as Georgia athletics director will be fully judged over time by the success of two his most high-profile hires - Kirby Smart and Tom Crean.
Fundraising and facility growth is nice, but the casual fan will look back on his tenure as if he got these hires right or not.
And unless you became a Georgia fan in 2017, you likely remember were you were in November of 2015 when Mark Richt was no longer the Georgia coach. It’s a decision that still sticks with McGarity.
As a Georgia fan, you’re still likely asked about Richt’s firing by fans of other teams.
