Josh Brooks cares about Georgia sports. Not just football. All of them. 'I’m wired that I just want to win in everything we do.” And 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩, SethWEmerson writes, could prove to be the defining point of his legacy as Bulldogs athletic director.
And that’s where he has been most busy. In just more than two years, Brooks has replaced the head coach of 11 teams:• Longtime men’s and women’s swimming coach Jack Bauerle stepped down last year. He was replaced by two people: Neil Versfeld for the men’s team and Stefanie Williams Moreno for the women’s team.• Softball coach Lu Harris-Champer retired after making the College World Series in 2021. Associate assistant Tony Baldwin was elevated to the top job.
• Men’s basketball: Tom Crean came to Georgia as a ballyhooed hire in 2018 but lasted only four seasons, the last of those being one of the worst in modern Georgia history. Mike White was hired away from Florida and guided the team to a 16-16 record this past season. that he was “told throughout the process that UGA was unwilling to pay premium dollar for a head coach.”“All due respect to him, that’s his opinion. I was the one in charge of the search, I know what we did and didn’t do,” Brooks said. “It was about finding the best candidate. I zeroed in on a couple candidates I really liked and made an offer. It wasn’t about whatever he was claiming.”
Similarly, Brooks thinks renovations and improvements to baseball’s Foley Field are the right way to go, rather than building a new stadium.
