With the University of Georgia searching for a new coach following its dismissal Saturday of veteran Mark Fox, there’s a good chance the Bulldogs will look no farther for a replacement than the end of their remotes.

Tom Crean, currently working as a studio and game analyst for ESPN, will be interested in the position, a source told Sporting News.

Crean rebuilt Indiana into a Big Ten power after starting his first season, in 2008-09, with no returning scholarship players and won Big Ten regular-season championships in 2013 and 2016. He recruited first-round NBA Draft picks Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller, OG Anunoby and Noah Vonleh. And he took the Hoosiers to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 three times.

In his first head coaching job, at Marquette, he led the Golden Eagles to the 2003 Final Four and five NCAA Tournament appearances in a seven-year span. He has a career record of 356-231 and has coached in 11 NCAAs. He was named the conference coach of the year in Conference USA and the Big Ten.

Crean has lived in Florida since departing Indiana following the 2016-17 season and has gotten excellent reviews for his work on ESPN.

He is expected to draw interest from a number of major-conference schools with job openings. But the opportunity to work with athletic director Greg McGarity, who had such success with the Kirby Smart hire in football, makes Georgia one of the most attractive.
