The Georgia Bulldogs football program will honor Mark Richt during halftime of the Missouri game on Nov. 6. The UGA football program would not be where it is today without the work of former head coach Mark Richt.

Richt has had serious health issues recently, so it is about time the football program and the University of Georgia honored Richt.

Richt’s impact goes far beyond the football field. His commitment to faith, family, friends and football helped shape the lives of many young men.

In fact, Richt helped save the life of former UGA defensive back Tra Battle. Battle was considering suicide and thankfully called Richt. Richt hadn’t spoken to Battle in years, but immediately offered to help and support Battle in his fight to improve his mental health. The Gwinnett Post wrote an article on Richt and Battle’s story.

Richt took the Georgia program to new heights. He finished with a 145-51 overall record in 15 seasons as UGA head coach.

He ranks among the all-time winningest SEC coaches and is considered, along with Vince Dooley, one of the top coaches in Georgia football program history. Richt helped Georgia win SEC Championships in 2002 and 2005.

Under Richt, the Georgia Bulldogs football program recovered from a disappointing decade in the 1990s. Now, the Dawgs have even more potential under Kirby Smart. A top college football program is not built overnight, and Richt provided the stability UGA needed.
