Former Georgia Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt coached at Georgia from 2001 to 2015 before the Bulldogs hired Kirby Smart. Following Richt’s time at Georgia, he coached at Miami from 2016 to 2018. Richt also played quarterback at Miami from 1979-1982.
During Richt’s 15 season career at Georgia, he went 145-51. Richt helped Georgia make a bowl game during every season throughout his career in Athens. Richt is a member of the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame Class.
Richt helped Georgia win SEC championships in 2002 and 2005. The Bulldogs also appeared in the 2003, 2011 and 2012 SEC title games.
Richt never had an awful season during his time at Georgia. He helped stabilize the Georgia program after the Bulldogs had inconsistent play in the 1990s. Richt paved the way for Georgia to win back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022.
Bulldog fans always got to watch a bowl game during Richt’s consistent time as Georgia’s head coach. Mark Richt began working as a college football analyst for the ACC Network and ESPN in 2019. In 2021, Richt announced that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
Here’s a look at Mark Richt’s career in photos from earliest to most recent.
