You are listening to Ep. 034 of the WSLS podcast.

Today on this special episode, Tony Waller speaks with Georgia Football & Basketball beat writer for the Athens Banner-Herald, Marc Weiszer.

If you’re interested in hearing the latest information on the new UGA coaching staff changes, Recruiting and a quick Gator Bowl preview, hang around for the next 13 minutes to get caught up.

This is a special bonus episode (Ep. 033) we are airing of an interview that my co-host Tony Waller conducted yesterday with Georgia Alumnus and 2015 Camping World Independence Bowl chairman Kyle McInnis.

But before we jump into the interview, I wanted to give just a few Georgia football updates as things continue to change every day.

Today is Friday, December 4th and earlier this morning, Coach Mark Richt was introduced as 24th Head Coach for the University of Miami football team. Because of this news, it is of course official that Coach Richt will not be on the sidelines for Georgia during their bowl game as he addressed the team yesterday afternoon and reportedly received a “warm send off”. Soon after, Director of Athletics Greg McGarity announced that coach Bryan McClendon will hold the interim head coach title for the Dawgs in whatever bowl destination they go to.

One player who will not make the bowl trip is 3rd string QB Faton Bauta as he has decided to transfer. He has graduated and will be allowed to play one year at any FBS school of his choosing without having to sit out a year. So that will leave UGA with Lambert and Ramsey as the only scholarship QBs for the bowl.

In the interview, Tony and Kyle discuss the bowl selection process as it pertains to the SEC and Talk about how the camping world Independence bowl will determine what teams meet for its game to be played on Dec 26th at 5:45 pm eastern time.

Stay tuned for our next episode as the three of us will break down Championship Saturday as the final four teams for the college football playoff will be decided this weekend. We’ll also update you on any of the latest news as it pertains to Kirby Smart being the new head coach of Georgia, what it means for assistant coaches and also how it will impact recruiting. There’s a lot to cover so stay tuned.

Thanks again to Tony and Kyle. Have yourselves a great weekend and as always Go Dawgs

This has been an unprecedented week surrounding the University of Georgia’s football program. On Sunday, it was announced by AD Greg McGarity that Coach Richt would no longer be the head coach at UGA. Fast forward to late Tuesday night and word broke via the AJC that former Georgia defensive back and current Alabama DC, Kirby Smart would be Georgia’s new head football coach, which would not be completely finalized until after the SEC Championship game this Saturday.

And then just recently, sources out of Miami indicated that Coach Richt would accept the head Coaching position for the Hurricanes, which coincidentally is his alma mater and a place where he was a back up QB from 1979-1982.

So just as Will Tony and Scott thought as the 2015 college football season was coming to an end, that they’d be able to mail it in and provide some quick shows to talk about bowl selections, and transition into college basketball…all of this would happen!

It’s a fairly long episode today where the three hosts spend a majority of the time discussing just about everything from the amazing press conference that Coach Richt gave on Monday, to what it means for Greg McGarity now and they propose the question of, “What is the Georgia Way?”…now that all of this has transpired?

On the Next Episode…

Tony will be interviewing a Georgia Alumnus and 2015 Camping World Independence Bowl Chariman Kyle McInnis to help give you an insight as to what the bowl selection process is all about.

“A wise and respected old football coach once said, I really believe God called on me to coach, and that is the reason I stayed in it for so long.”

————— ————— —————

9-3. A respectable year for many college football coaches, was not enough for Coach mark Richt to keep his job at Georgia. As noted by many pundits, a win in this year’s bowl game would make it the 10th time in 15 seasons at UGA that Coach Richt would have posted double digit victories, which is an amazing statistic that might could only be duplicated by one current coach (and we all know who that is).

But so it goes in this what have you done for me lately world of college football where a coach who is beloved by his players past and present, admired by fans of all ages and revered as one of the winningest coaches of this century is let go by the university he has given so much to because even though he has won at an astounding clip, the trophy cases of conference and championships have been bare for 10 years now and a coveted national championship has never materialized

You are listening to Episode 031 of the Waitin’ Since Last Saturday podcast. Your co-hosts are Tony Waller, Will Leitch and Scott Duvall

As Tony mentions in this episode, we Georgia fans have to be okay with the fact that our administration just fired a coach that won 74% of his games. It’s said that Mark Richt will coach the team in the bowl game to finish out the final game of his 15th season here at Georgia.

Good luck Coach Richt, we wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors and thank you for representing the University of Georgia in a manner that all of us fans can be proud of.

Before we get started, the quote at the beginning of this intro was made by Bobby Bowden of Florida State. And for what its worth, he did not win a national championship with the Seminoles until his 18th season.
