Developing: Mark Gottfried may be out at Bama

MikeMark Gottfried (sorry....I habitually call him Mike) entered a meeting with Alabama athletic director Mal Moore at 2:30 EST today to discuss his future with the basketball program. Gottfried has been under intense pressure over the past few seasons, and his time may have finally run out.

This is relevant to Georgia as the Dawgs will face Alabama on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa. It's also relevant in that we may be in competition with Alabama, Auburn and possibly Georgia Tech to hire a new basketball coach following the season.

Tech's Paul Hewitt looked to be on solid footing following the commitment of high profile basketball recruit Derrick Favors. However, the Yellow Jackets are now 9-10 overall and 0-6 in the ACC. With an 0-8 ACC start looming, how much longer can he survive?

Anyway....If you see confirmation of Gottfried's termination, feel free to link it in the comments section.

UPDATE -- Confirmed by Cecil Hurt of the Tuscaloosa News. Gottfried has been fired.
