gravejd 3,270 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I thought this was an interesting move by UGA. They decide to quickly take White off FL hands after firing Crean. My impression of the Mike White tenure at FL is that he consistently disappointed. Seemed like FL was always talked about as being really good but was rarely actually really good while he was there. Is this the safe hire for UGA after being bottom for so long are they just looking for someone to get them to middle of the pack in SEC? Kind of feels that way to me. Less risk vs an up and coming coach but upside seems low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get an elite recruiter and just out-talent the other team. My understanding at Florida was that White was a great recruiter but could never put it all together on the floor. With all of the talent inside the state of Georgia, I think that is all White needs to do aside from getting great assistant coaches. Hopefully this doesn't work and Bruce continues to develop a stronghold on the state of Georgia. Edited March 15, 2022 by abw0004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a huge W for Florida and a huge L for Georgia, IMO. Georgia is taking a coach that consistently under performed at a top 3 SEC program and expecting him to turn around a program that hasn't been out of the first round of the tournament since 2002 and hasn't made a Sweet 16 since 1996. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
