UGA selects new athletic director
(Other UGA news: Branden Smith cleared to play.)
ATHENS — Greg McGarity, the University of Florida’s No. 2 athletic official, will be named the new athletic director at the University of Georgia, a person who spoke directly with McGarity told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday night.
The person, who asked not to be named because an announcement hasn’t been made, said McGarity told him he will travel to Athens for a news conference on Friday afternoon.
(UPDATE, 8:20 A.M. FRIDAY: Georgia announced this morning that UGA President Michael Adams will hold a news conference on the AD matter at 4 p.m. at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education. In addition, the UGA Athletic Board, which would approve the hire and contract of a new AD, called a special meeting for 3 p.m., also at the Georgia Center.)
McGarity didn’t return repeated phone calls from the AJC on Thursday. UGA officials had no comment.
Georgia has been searching for an athletic director since Damon Evans resigned in the aftermath of a June 30 DUI arrest in Atlanta.
McGarity, an Athens native and a 1976 graduate of UGA, began his career in the Georgia athletics department, serving in a variety of roles –- administrative assistant, women’s tennis coach, assistant sports information director and assistant athletic director -– before leaving for Florida in 1992.
At Florida, McGarity’s current title is executive senior associate athletic director, meaning that he is the right-hand man to highly regarded athletic director Jeremy Foley.
McGarity applied for the Georgia job in a July 16 letter to UGA’s associate vice president for human resources.
“I have been very fortunate to work alongside the very best in collegiate athletics at two outstanding institutions, the University of Georgia and the University of Florida, over the last three decades,” McGarity wrote. “I know what it takes to lead and direct an athletic program at the highest level, and am ready to lead the University of Georgia Athletic Association into the future.”
Rumors swirled around Georgia’s athletic department on Thursday about an impending hire, but there was no official word.
Associate athletic director for communications Claude Felton said he had not been informed of an impending announcement. Football coach Mark Richt said he had not been informed who his new boss will be.
“I’ve been hearing rumors, like everybody else, but I’ve not been told,” Richt said as he left the third floor of the Butts-Mehre athletics building Thursday night. “I’ve just been coaching ball, really.”
Richt said interim athletic director Frank Crumley told him Thursday that “there would be an announcement soon, but he didn’t tell me who.”
Crumley did not return calls from the AJC.
Georgia’s search committee and UGA President Michael Adams are believed to have considered a number of candidates, including Crumley, businessman Mark Lewis and others.
Lewis, a former Georgia football player who is now president of JetSet Sports, a leading provider of Olympic hospitality packages, told the AJC Thursday that he’d heard a decision had been made on a hire and would be announced Friday. Lewis said he didn’t know who the hire would be. He said he did not interview for the position.
Forty-nine people applied for the position, according to documents obtained by the AJC in response to an open-records request last week. A 50th, sports-marketing executive and former Georgia football player Chris Welton, confirmed earlier this week that he had added his name to the list.
McGarity got some high-profile support for the job, including a letter to “enthusiastically recommend” him from U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga.
“He is ready to get back to his hometown and to serve his alma mater in this distinguished position,” Kingston wrote to Adams. “I hope you will give him the fullest consideration possible.”
McGarity also interviewed for the Georgia AD job before Evans was hired in 2003.
McGarity lettered on Georgia’s tennis team in 1973 and first worked for the UGA athletics department as a student assistant while earning a degree in journalism.

Tim, do you know what addresss folks should send thier letters of approval to Dr. Adams for this hiring (if so) and the entire handling of the recent Evans situation?
So this would be the second time he is hiring a former Dooley man for the job, right? just trying to keep that straight.

It appears now to be a good choice but so did Damon Evans on the day of his hire. I doubt McGarity will do what Evans did but I am surprised that Adams went for him. I hope the two can work well together.

Please check that garbage at the door. Oh, and by the way do you want an all white football team? If so get ready to finish last in the East.

2004, Evans played UGA football, while Dooley was involved with the program, was hired by Dooley, was quickly promoted by Dooley, was named assistant , then senior assistant by Dooley and was personally endorced by Dooley. Was he not a UGA/Dooley guy?
Mcgarity had left Dooley’s department over a decade before his retirement and is now 20 yrs removed from UGA. He had passed on several attempts by Dooley over the years (long before Adams was in the picture) to get him to come back, and while I’m sure he is still a personal freind, what makes you call him more of a Dooley Guy than the above?

I’m afraid that it’s another , “here we go again…”
This whole process is nothing but a microcosm of the corruption that is now insidious throughout our entire country. It will surely lead to our downfall…

This really concerns me, here is a guy not too far away from retirement age apparently, so he comes in and doesn’t want to rock the boat and he just goes along with the status quo and here we go again. No pressure on Richt and we wind up with the same old mediocrity we have been experiencing!!!!! I wish they had looked long and hard outside the good old boy network but no such luck!

If it is true, McGarity’s selection is disappointing. While he is a fine person and has excellent experience at UF, he is limited. He is also too tied in with the UGA-UF Jacksonville game. It’s been fun but it’s old hat now. I would like to see it switch either to campus sites or one year in ATL and one year in JAX. That game has very little to do with recruiting in this day. It is always a home game for UF. A different AD selection would have better understanding and UGA deserves a candidate with national portfolio. If it is McGarity, I’ll enthusiastically support him and always UGA.
AltamahaDawg
August 13th, 2010

Damon Evans certainly was not responsible for raising money in his official capacity, before he as hired as AD. He was more of a compliance officer. In fact I would say that he would not have been the obvious candidate if extracting money from fat cat white guys was the main criteria. And yet, a bumper crop of cabbage, more than ever.

I Have asked the question a million times on here with no response: If McG is SOOOOO Great why is it that NO-ONE else was willing to give him a chance at an AD position in the last 20 years. Not even a small d1 or d2 skill.
Was he turning them down waiting on UGA or was he never offered, but I would have to think that somewhere some how he shoul have been offered if he is the best thing since sliced bread.

EmoryDawg , While I’d like a home & home series every now & then, the truth is contracts are hard to negotiate when you need to skip a year every third game. Hopefully, if McGarity thinks that the Jacksonville site is a major disadvantage to the DAWGS it would be in his best interest to move it. However, it didn’t bother UGA for many years as we used to pounce on FLA regularly. Bottom line, you can’t make everyone happy.

Altamaha – First I have met Greg personally and he seems like a nice guy. However, all of his previous experiences at UF have been with internal operations. He had never gone on the road and beat the pavement to raise money. Thus he has little experience cultivating big donors and building strong relationships. He has never ran a major capital campaign. What really concerns the most is not fundraising though. He was at UF for almost 20 yrs but he was never given the opportunity to be solely in charge of a major revenue sport. Why is that? He only assisted Foley with football and mens basketball. Look I hope he does well and I support him 100% but I think there were some sitting ADs that would have been better. Dave Hart (even tho he is not sitting but was at Florida State) would have been a great choice for UGA esp in this transition. He knows how to run a department. But Greg is our guy now so I am with him. Go Dawgs!

Thanks 24, I appreciate the response. I am often left a lonely man when I ask simple questions in here.
I guess we will see. It just seems to me that AD from all over the nation, including our past 2 probably got hired without an awful lot of actual fundraising experience. I have serious doubt that the gravy train is anywhere close to derailing at Georgia.
Considering that all the blowhards vowed to NOT give a dime to the fund when Adams didn’t hire this guy (and a few year later they had to literally stop accepting any more contributions) imagine how well its going to go now that he did.
I too was openly advocating a national search, but with 29 applicants, I feel confident that we did our due diligence. I didn’t really see any other names that blew me away, did you?

Please let UGA play TCU ? This whole ranking thing is a complete SHAM. UGA’s 2nd string could whip TCU and a few others higher in the rankings. Yet every year now ESPN promotes who they want to promote (And we all know who those are) and it directly affects preseason polls which ultimately affect the BCS standings. Yes….it is a matter of just win, but even then, if you don’t start out ranked high enough, but win games, your destiny depends on computer rankings, other coaches, and even GOD FORBID, writers from the O-Sentinel that have a vote. UGA fans jinxed themselves when they started yelling overrated at Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl (Classless Yes) but the truth was still there. Same with UF playing Cincinnati (I wouldn’t even count that game if I was UF, but of course they will, just like the Arkansas Game…..Wow what a stinker !). It’s become obvious that ESPN and some of their JOKE journalist like Eric Kasillazz continue to take cheap shots at teams like UK and others and laugh it off as having no chance in hell of beating the unbeatable Gators is criminal and shows no class at all. They have a sports media monopoly and are using it to destroy the integrity of the greatest sport(s) in America. Come on people lets take um down? Go Dawgs & Go to HELL ESPN !

Nice choice since this guy helped build FL into the program it is in all sports.
Best of luck,
Gators still win the East in 2010!

Great hire by that chameleon — Michael Adams.
He saw the writing on the wall. He wouldn’t be able to weather another storm (Evans, Harrick), so he went out and hired the one person who everyone in the Dawg Nation would be happy with.
The hiring of McGarity does two things that will allow Adams to cover his butt.
1. If McGarity does an awesome job as AD (as most people seem to think is likely), Adams gets credit for a good hire.
2. If McGarity doesn’t pan out in the position, Adams can turn around and say he hired the person that Dawgs fans were asking for…effectively getting him off the hook.
Good calculated move Dr. Adams.

I think it will be good for UGA and bad for UF, hence doubly good for UGA…

Be sure and pay the new AD at least $10 million to send the clear message that corrupt sports entertainment is there for the citizens of Georgia to watch while Synovous just wrote off $110 million in bad loans to Sea Island to build fancy hotel rooms renting for thousands of dollars a night and while Georgia has become the Willie Sutton of America with over 40 failed banks. In Georgia landlords are regulated more than banks. Do any of you know who pays for these losses? Not the banks which were bailed out. Not the Georgia government. Yes, Georgia desperately needs to reinforce the panty school mentality for UGA to side tract duped citizens while their country goes straight down the bankrupcy cesspool into oblivion. Money is no object for the secret UGAA is it?
Why not pay the AD $100 million or $110 million the same as the loss of Synovous? Who cares, its only printed counterfeit or borrowed money?

The lunatics in Georgia government are paying about $ 1 million per student to “indoctrinate” up to 40 new medical students at UGA when they could have done it for a fraction of the cost at the existing medical school at Augusta, all to aid the corupt losers in Athens who have depended on government largess for so long now. All this talk about corrupt sports entertainment in the face of millions of people losing their jobs, homes and going on public welare is nothing less than an obsecenity. In Georgia it is easy to rob banks: You just borrow the money and don’t pay it back. Nothing will happen to you just like nothing will happen to you if you don’t pay your rent either.

So Winfield….do you have a problem with: a) UGA? b) Georgia? c) The GA State Govt? d) The imperial federal govt? e) all politicians? or f) sports blogs that have absolutely no interest in your political agenda? If you’re so disgruntled with the current state of things…….then go run for freakin office and STFU.

great hire / welcomew home…..he will realize that he is now the head of a top flight Ath. Dept. – a dept. that had dozens of very good candidates applying for the job. More people applied for UGA’s A.D. position than Tech usually has at a home game. He will inherit a great coach and a cash rich organization. He’s a Dawg and knows what it is all about. It’s all good! Go Dawgs!

Good work hiring the ex women’s tennis coach, I’m sure he’ll do a fantastic job with the women’s sports…football may still struggle to be one of the better teams in the State but I’m sure the women’s tennis team will continue to prosper.

UGAY: We are one powerhouse along with Louisianna Layfette, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Miss St, Tenn, and Ark. Man, you guys have got a brutal schedule. What, you play two ranked teams, Georgia Tech and Florida? The rest of your schedule is a laugher. Nevertheless, you will still lose 3 or 4 games and start your belly aching as always. Good luck to another underachieving year.

Red nasty panties are falling from the sky, red nasty panties are falling from the sky. Your days of BCS bowls are over and you now begin your downward spiral into the lower tier of the SEC where you belong. McChokeity will not make a difference and neither will your small midget QB. He will get hurt when you play SC and then your done.

Georgia, where are all your great golfers in the PGA Championship. The Jacktes have two in the top 10 and UGA’s golfers are no where to be found. You better stick to your gym mutts, as the rest of your sports are a joke. Actually, the gym mutts have been choking recently as well. Maybe, take up bowling.

UGA are you finished sharing my nasty red panties? If so, please give them to McGarity and then I can get them back. I really want them back and cannot believe the State Trooper didn’t let Evan’s just get me home. I mean, he was the AD at UGA. Why should he abide by the laws, nobody else associated with the mutts do, so whay him?

Darma, don’t tell UGA they can have your panties. Heck, I want them. I mean, we should take them, frame them and place them on the wall at UGA so all the proud losers can look at them. I am sure by now, they are well used by all the UGA fans, players and coaches. On second thought, I do want them back. Get them for me please.

Its funny to hear Tech fans continue on with the red panties jokes since the only panties they have ever seen are in the store or in their dresser.
