Georgia Tech fired Damon Stoudamire from his coaching role on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets finished last in the ACC this season, and they named Greg Gary as interim head coach in the midst of searching for a permanent replacement.

When fans found out that Georgia Tech had fired Stoudamire, they had some wild reactions.

“Honestly, they should’ve fired him sooner. Georgia Tech deserves better,” one tweeted.

“He was never that good,” another added.

“Tech admitting UGA is the best basketball and football team in Georgia,” a third commented.

Here are a few more reactions.

“Wow, that’s a surprising move for Georgia Tech’s program,” one wrote.

“If you can’t recruit (pay the kids) you won’t win. Period,” another added.

“Tough break for Stoudamire, but Georgia Tech clearly feels it’s time for a new direction. Excited to see who they bring in next!” a user tweeted.

Due to its last-place finish in the conference, Georgia Tech did not earn a spot in the 2026 ACC Tournament. The Yellow Jackets lost 12 straight games to close out the season.
