Gonna be a fun couple of weeks of bowl practice, that’s for sure.

UPDATE: Somebody’s in charge.

UGA interim coach is Bryan McClendon….Thought it would be either McClendon or Tracy Rocker https://t.co/kicOxvpzo4

UPDATE #2: More details from Seth Emerson.

UGA said in a statement that offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt – as well as “all other assistant coaches” – will “remain in their present roles with current responsibilities.”

McClendon was described by several people close to Georgia’s staff as a good choice for the role.

“I’ve asked Bryan to assume all administrative duties of the head coach,” athletics director Greg McGarity said in a statement. “This will be the least disruptive option for our players and staff as they begin preparations for our bowl game.”

WSB reporter Zach Klein first reported the news, and a source later told Klein that Richt became “very emotional” at the meeting, telling players he had “all intentions” of coaching the bowl game, but the Miami job was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.
