FWIW, the AJC article today does not have the UGA fans very happy, They had a big thread going about who they could get and then they feel like cold water has been poured over them.
Their AD is expected to retire after next season, so this may be partially due to not wanting to make coaching changes until after he is gone (it's hard to hire a coach if he knows his boss is going to be gone in a year or two).
They have 2 really good recruiting assts in Hayes and Redmond (GT thought about going after Redmond for the 'asst coach with local ties' last Spring) and they have really helped Fox recruit better.
Fox has 3 yrs left on his contract so they either need to extend him this year or next. if they don't this off season they absolutely will have to extend or replace him after next year.
