A day after Les Miles' job was reportedly saved during the third quarter of LSU's game against Texas A&M, a different SEC coach has found himself on the chopping block, that would be Georgia's Mark Richt, who was reportedly fired this morning, the day after his team claimed a 13-7 win over underwhelming rival Georgia Tech:

Richt has coached Georgia since 2001, and in his 15 seasons he was 145-51 with two conference titles (the last of which came in 2005). This season, Georgia has won four in a row to rally to 9-3, but still currently find themselves unranked.

Richt will reportedly coach the Bulldogs in their yet to be determined bowl game.
