Mark Richt is out after 15 seasons as head coach at Georgia, the school announced Sunday.
"Coach Richt and I met Sunday morning to discuss the status of our football program," University of Georgia director of athletics J. Reid Parker said in a release. "And we mutually agreed that he would step down as head coach and would have the opportunity to accept other duties and responsibilities at UGA following the bowl game."
Richt has led Georgia to a bowl game in every season as coach of the program. A 9-3 record in 2015 qualifies Georgia for 15 consecutive bowl appearances for the Richt-led Bulldogs.
"I appreciate the opportunity of serving the University as well as considering any other options that may present themselves in the future," Richt said.
