ATLANTA – Georgia Tech has fired defensive coordinator Al Groh.

Head coach Paul Johnson announced the move Monday, two days after the Yellow Jackets (2-4) lost 47-31 to Clemson. The previous week, Georgia gave up 49 points in an embarrassing loss to Middle Tennessee.

Groh was in his third season as Georgia Tech's defensive coordinator. No immediate successor was named. The Yellow Jackets are off this week.
