I heard this afternoon that Georgia didn't even ask for permission to talk to White until today. White had a zoom call with Georgia's ad this afternoon, agreed to a contract, told Florida's ad he was leaving, then told the team he was leaving. All this happened in a very few, short hours. The skinny is that UGA was talking to White's people this week and White knew for a couple days he was leaving. Georgia is happy they got their man. Florida is happy they save millions on buying White out (he had over $15 million left on his contract). He would have been coaching for his job next year at Florida.
We are about to see if White is really a good coach or not. Georgia has as many resources as any school in the country, but they were 1-17 in the sec this year.
