Georgia Athletic Director Josh Brooks Denies Interest in LSU Position Amid Coaching Changes

Following LSU's firing of football coach Brian Kelly and subsequent departure of athletic director Scott Woodward, speculation arose linking Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks to the LSU AD position due to his Louisiana roots and LSU alumni status. Brooks promptly addressed these rumors on social media, firmly denying any contact from LSU and expressing no interest in leaving Georgia, emphasizing his commitment to the university, its athletes, coaches, and staff. He highlighted his appreciation for the leadership at Georgia, including President Jere Morehead and Governor Brian Kemp, and reaffirmed his focus on continuing progress at Georgia Athletics. Despite his ties to Louisiana, Brooks made it clear that Georgia is his home and where he plans to build on the program's championship standards. This statement comes amid LSU's internal upheaval, with Woodward's exit and the football coaching vacancy creating uncertainty within their athletic department. Brooks' recent contract extension and salary increase at Georgia further underline his entrenched position and satisfaction with his current role.
