Look: Former UGA HC Mark Richt poses in Georgia Tech gear

Former UGA football HC Mark Richt posed in a Georgia Tech sweatshirt while touring the campus with the ACC Network.

Mark Richt, 60, coached at Georgia for 15 seasons before finishing his career with three years at Miami.

Now a college football analyst with the ACC Network, Richt tweeted that he plans on visiting each campus in the conference in an attempt to “get to know each program better.”

Richt kicked things off with a visit to Clemson, and then traveled to Atlanta for an inside look at the Georgia Tech program, one of his biggest rivals during his long coaching career.

But what Richt was wearing caused Georgia fans to do a double take just to make sure that it’s the same man who coached between the hedges for 15 seasons.

Richt was donning a Georgia Tech quarter-zip and tweeted a photo of himself with the caption: “Don’t tell anyone!”

He also dined with Tech head coach Geoff Collins at the Waffle House.

While at Georgia, Richt compiled a 13-2 record vs Georgia Tech, with the two losses coming by a combined total of nine points.

Despite the fact that Richt is expected to drop any bias in order to do his job correctly, it’s likely that CMR still felt a hint of guilt while wearing those hideous colors.

Twitter goes crazy as former UGA HC Mark Richt visits Georgia Tech

Former Georgia Bulldog and Miami Hurricane head coach Mark Richt visited Georgia Tech and wore Yellow Jackets gear.

For Georgia Bulldog fans who aren’t aware, former Georgia Bulldog and Miami Hurricane head coach Mark Richt works for the ACC Network. As a part of his job, he’s getting more familiar with every program in the ACC conference.

Fortunately for Richt, he does not have to endure the rigorous schedule associated with visiting all fourteen SEC programs. Instead, he is getting more familiar with all fourteen teams in the ACC throughout the spring and before the season in August. Richt outlined his plan via Twitter:

Georgia fans can breath a sigh of relief. Their former head coach wasn’t going to visit hated rival Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets just for fun. Before visiting Atlanta, Richt saw Clemson’s elite program:

Now, Richt is learning more about the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets well ahead of the 2020 college football season. It’s strange seeing Richt wear the opposition’s colors:

These pictures alone were enough to trigger Georgia Bulldogs Twitter into having a field day:
