I was talking to my dad Sunday afternoon. I got to break the news to him that Georgia had fired Mark Richt. We broke down the positives and negatives for a few minutes (spoiler: like 90% positives). Then just as I was getting ready to go, he said, "Well, he sounds great. Just wonder if it's Tubby Smith all over again."
Brian had a great piece yesterday on expectations for the end result of this coaching search. But dad's comment made me think about expectations for the search itself.
In 2009, once Virginia had shown Dave Leitao the door, all eyes turned to Tubby.
