Bloody Sunday.

Bad day for college football coaches.

Mark Richt out at the University of Georgia. He’d been there for 15 seasons…

With a 145-51 record, Richt ranks second on Georgia’s all-time wins list and has guided the Bulldogs to a bowl game in each of his 15 seasons at the helm. He won SEC championships in 2002 and 2005, and his teams played for league titles three other times.

Rutgers fired both head coach Kyle Flood and AD Julie Hermann. Flood was 27-24 overall, and the team went 4-8 this year. But it looks like the main reason for this firing was off-field issues:

Flood was suspended three games earlier this season for emailing a professor and later scheduling an in-person meeting to discuss the academic standing of former Scarlet Knights defensive back Nadir Barnwell.
In addition, seven Rutgers players were arrested this season for offenses varying from home invasion to assault.

Mike London is out as head coach at the University of Virginia. This is being called a “resignation”, but it sounds like “you can’t fire me, I quit”.

Virginia was 27-45 under London’s command. He was 0-6 against Virginia Tech, the foe Cavaliers players and fans most want to defeat.

…

Only once under London’s guidance – in 2011, his lone bowl season – did Virginia win more than five games. It lost seven or more in five of his six seasons.
