The Georgia Bulldogs are moving on from Saturday night’s 31-17 victory over Tennessee by welcoming Massachusetts later this week.
Don Brown won’t be involved.
The Minutemen made a coaching change Monday, firing Brown and his 6-28 record in less than three full seasons, which includes a 2-8 mark this year. Brown was in his second head-coaching stint at UMass, having amassed a 43-19 record from 2004-08, when the Minutemen were a Football Championship Subdivision power and reached the 2006 FCS title game at Finley Stadium.
Receiving the battlefield promotion is offensive coordinator Shane Montgomery, the former North Carolina State quarterback and Miami of Ohio head coach who served as a UTC offensive assistant from 1993-2000.
“I know Shane from the past, and we’ve recruited together on the road,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Monday afternoon during his weekly news conference. “He’s a tremendous coach, and we look forward to preparing for this game.”
