Former UGA and Miami head football coach Mark Richt, who now works for the ACC Network as a college football analyst, is known as one of the renowned good guys in sports. Even the fans at the schools he previously coached at have little to nothing ill to say about him. While somber news is never welcomed, it is Richt's general reputation that made his Twitter announcement even tougher to swallow on Thursday as he told his followers he is afflicted with Parkinson's Disease.

Richt is 171-64 all-time as the head coach of the Bulldogs and Hurricanes. He retired after the 2018 season at Miami and embarked on a career in television, which he intends to continue per his statement. The beloved member of the college football fraternity received a variety of well wishes on Twitter after his announcement, and figures to factor into the prayers of many moving forward.
