Tom Crean Reportedly Finalizing Contract to Become Georgia Head Coach

Tom Crean is reportedly returning to the sidelines.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the former Marquette and Indiana head coach is "finalizing an agreement" to become the head coach for the Georgia Bulldogs men's basketball team.

While Crean served as an ESPN analyst during the 2017-18 college basketball season, he remained a marquee name to fill potential openings. Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported he was interested in the Georgia job after ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman and Jeff Borzello reported the Bulldogs fired Mark Fox.

Mike DeCourcy of Sporting News said of Crean, "He is expected to draw interest from a number of major-conference schools with job openings," and Borzello reported he met with Pittsburgh after it fired Kevin Stallings.
