It looks like former Georgia head coach Mark Richt and his wife, Katharyn, have found a nice spot back in Athens, Georgia.

Richt spent 14 years as the leader of the Bulldogs, winning two SEC titles (2002, 2005) and playing for two more (2011, 2012) and finishing in 2015 with an overall record of 145-51. That’s a winning percentage of 74%, which was good enough to rank No. 8 among active coaches when Richt stepped down almost six years ago.

He led his alma mater Miami from 2015 to 2018, which included a 16-game winning streak in 2016-17 and a No. 2 national ranking in 2017. That earned him the 2017 Walter Camp Coach of the Year Award.

Richt works for ESPN’s ACC Network as an analyst, but his popularity among DawgNation still remains. UGA Twitter reacted fondly to the news of Richt’s return home to Athens.
