Former UGA coach says he has Parkinson's

GPB

Former UGA football coach Mark Richt has disclosed that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.

Richt, who spent three years at Miami after a 15-year tenure at Georgia, retired in 2018 with a 171-64 record and joined the ACC Network.

Parkinson's is a brain disorder that can cause shaking and trouble with balance and coordination. Symptoms usually begin mild and get progressively worse over time. Richt and his wife Katharyn recently moved back to Athens after living in Florida for several years.
