UGA Football: UGA Athletic Director Greg McGarity Set to Retire

ATHENS — University of Georgia J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity will retire on December 31, 2020, following 10 years of service as the UGA Athletic Association’s top administrator.

“First and foremost, on behalf of the entire Bulldog Nation, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Greg for his outstanding service to the University of Georgia,” said President Jere W. Morehead.  “While I had hoped Greg would continue to serve as our Athletic Director for a few more years, I understand and appreciate his and Sheryl’s decision to begin a new chapter in their lives.  Greg will leave behind a strong legacy of leadership and devotion to his alma mater, having further elevated our athletic program on the national stage.  I have particularly appreciated the extraordinary leadership Greg has provided during the pandemic.  His calm and steady voice will be missed here and in SEC meetings.”

McGarity was a letterman on the 1973 Bulldog tennis team and began his career in athletics administration at UGA in 1977.  He rose through the ranks to become Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities and Event Management in 1988.  In 1992, McGarity joined the University of Florida, where he held several senior leadership roles in athletics before returning to UGA in 2010 as Athletic Director.
