Entering the 2017-18 college sports season, Georgia had two coaches on the hot seat. Georgia basketball coach Mark Fox and Georgia baseball coach Scott Stricklin. Both needed to take the Dawgs to their respective NCAA Tournaments. Their situations were as similar as they were simple. Win you stay, lose you leave.
Fox and the basketball team couldn’t get Georgia in the big dance. Seeing them sweep Florida and Tennessee made the loses to other teams mind-boggling. Fox’s seat got hotter every week. The boiling point was not getting selected to a spot in the tournament.
