Georgia Athletic Director Josh Brooks made a big-time hire to replace Tom Crean, as Georgia will reportedly hire Mike White as the program’s next coach. Georgia confirmed the hire on a conference call on Sunday night, with Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports first confirming the news.

Georgia parted ways with Tom Crean on Thursday after four seasons. The Bulldogs went 6-26 this past season and 1-17 in SEC play. White had been the head coach at Florida for the past seven seasons, making the NCAA tournament four times.
