UGA's Mark Richt.... will he be fired

Mark Richt, Georgia's head football coach, struggled through a fairly miserable 2010 college football season. A year after neighbor Georgia Tech stole most of the 7-5 Bulldogs thunder with an ACC Championship and an Orange Bowl bid, Richt's team opened up 1-5, then were defeated by Central Florida in the Liberty Bowl. Richt is the longest tenured head coach in the SEC and he has had plenty of success. But for a team that routinely has national championship aspirations (they were ranked first in the preseason polls back in 2008) Richt has not delivered. Worse yet, the Bulldogs are 14-12 the last two years and have endured several off-the-field problems regarding player discipline.

With jobs in both the NFL and college continually opening up, could Richt be on his way out?
