He held several positions within the UGA athletics department, including women’s tennis coach, assistant sports information director and assistant athletic director for facilities and event management.

Damon Evans resigned as athletics director at Georgia on July 5, 2010 after being arrested and charged with DUI in June. McGarity was a finalist for the AD position in 2003 before Evans was ultimately hired.

This time around, Greg McGarity has been selected over 48 other candidates.
