Love Coach Richt. Love that Coach Smart gives him his due respect.

[@Sciences0311]

Were you sad to see Richt get fired? I wasnt.. i was pretty happy to see him go.

[@speedrat]

@@Sciences0311 Yes and no. I knew we were underperforming and that it was time for a change. Coach Richt hit his ceiling but I am convinced that he is part of the reason for UGA's recent success. Not to mention is one heck of a human being. We can be grateful for what he did and still be very, very thankful that a change to Coach Smart was made.

[@taylordunn5608]

@@Sciences0311any fan that wants to win is happy to see a coaching change, but Richt is still a great guy who spent a number of years at UGA winning games. He will always be a part of this university. So like speedrat said, we love him and glad to see coach Smart give him respect and host events for a great cause

[@Cautionary_Tale_Harris]

​@@Sciences0311 Did you know that you can respect someone for their character and accomplishments while also admitting that it's time for a change?

[@MarketMike]

UK fan here. First of all, I love how he treats coach richt. Second of all, why is Smart so cool and respectful towards us? Georgia is by far the coolest towards UK fans and I honestly think that means a lot coming from the gold standard of college football. Hope it’s a hell of a game and everyone stays safe. Y’all are the measuring stick and I’m excited to see how we match up. Praying for Coach Richt and that baby girl. Kids should never have to battle any illness

[@WalkerDawg15]

@MarketMike Kentucky has a great football program, and like Coach Smart says, we respect the physicality shown by the Kentucky units across the board. Respect to you for showing good sportsmanship. Can’t wait til Saturday

[@greatkentuckian9032]

​@@WalkerDawg15of course. I must say this, since you UGA fans have been the most respectful, i would rather lose to georgia for the next 100 years and deal with the fans, than lose once to a florida, Tennessee and South Carolina team once, and deal with their fans. Thats my honest opinion

[@MarketMike]

@@greatkentuckian9032 no shame in losing to Georgia. If there was, the entire country would be ashamed of itself. They don’t lose often😂. But the respect from guys like Smart goes a long way in building our program. We will never be Georgia. That isn’t a shot at them, they just have a prestige that we will never have. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be a very good program. I think folks like Smart and Stoops are great ambassadors for the league.

[@jordanb.4514]

respect. you a real one.

[@deebz2626]

I've never really had any problem with Kentucky, infact they're my third favorite SEC team, just behind Missouri and Georgia

[@ValerieGriner]

I always have and always will LOVE COACH MARK RICHT! He is a fine Christian man, husband, father, and now...grandfather. He deserves all the respect in the world from us UGA fans. (Didn't realize he had such a GREAT sense of humor...I laughed out loud at some of his comments). God bless Coach Richt, his family, and his endeavors.

[@tangofett4065]

You don’t get a better man than Coach Richt. I wish we could’ve brought him a championship, but even without one, he’s one of the greatest coaches and leaders of men, I’ve ever seen.

[@joesmith6972]

What CMR lacked in national championships, he made up tenfold in class and building character in the players. Such a great leader for the program.

[@WA-de3gf]

Very classy guy. In the end you have your reputation, how you carry yourself, humble man. I'm a U fan. Was sad to see him go but knew something health wise was off. Just such a role model

[@smashyboi6887]

Love Mark Richt he is such an awesome guy

[@claytonmoorman]

Once a Dawg always a Dawg! We love you Coach Richt! "Finish the Drill!"

[@andrewatkinson9314]

Man, how wholesome.... I remember the Richt era of football. Some of the biggest names. Damian Swann, Bavari Rambo, Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree, Gurley, Aaron Murray, Matthew Stafford. People need to appreciate Coach Smart for what he's doing here at UGA. People don't realize we living in the golden days of Georgia Football! God bless you Coach Richt!

[@user-dc9qm4bz7c]

A young man went to UGA from the town I was living in. He blew out an ACL his senior season and Coach Richt still honored his scholarship. Brought him in and healed him up then he blew out his other ACL. Coach Richt still honored his scholarship. There is no finer man than him in my opinion. Very proud to have had him as our coach. God bless him and his family!!!

[@robertk2007]

Richt took us to a level uga had not been in a while. Kirby took UGA to places it has never gone before. Both blazed a trail for success at UGA.

[@thumbtack98]

Mad props from a KY fan....Coach Richt is a treasure...

[@masonhardy8632]

Love Mark Richt. Such a class act.

[@skyblue1224]

Bigger then football. FYI I'm from Lexington KY. I bleed blue like crazy. One thing I've always respected about UGA is the class that the coaches and fans have always carried. Go Cats. But this is just awesome. So much respect. God Bless from Lexington.

[@patrickoneill8707]

You are the epitome of most Kentucky fans I have met. You guys are classy and you aren't fortunately douchebags like Florida fans.

[@geebeeinga]

Two quality men of character. As much as many Dawg fans have criticized Coach Richt about whatever happened on the field I know everyone has always thought him to be a man of integrity and compassion. Thank you coach Richt - we have been blessed by your continued presence in and around Athens.

[@BustaNAugusta]

This’s Dawg GOLD!!! LOVE IT and praying for healing for all those living with diseases 🙏🏼.

[@lowcountrydawg2525]

Coach Richt is a great, great man. So glad to have him as such a big part of the UGA family.

[@wingrider1004]

Coach Richt set the foundation for all that now is...Great man. Proud he belongs to UGA.

[@anerexicpig720]

From a Uk fan boy, much respect to the dawgs fans and program. True class act all around

[@patrickoneill8707]

And you are a class act Kentucky fan for making that comment.

[@stormstudiosfilms9083]

I was waiting for coach richt to start reading notes on Kentucky like he was back in the mix!😂 always love seeing him⚫️🔴

[@johntrass7402]

I loved seeing CMR standing up there really took me back. My 2 favorite coaches of all time

[@scott8786]

All love and blessings to Coach Rictht. Good good man!

[@redkap5816]

Tennessee Volunteer here. Much respect for coach Richt. Always respected him as a coach. Bringing the whole team on the field after scoring the touchdown against Florida was coaching brilliance. That was masterclass. Set the tone and mentally beat Florida when they were rolling. Great coach!!!

[@briansnow9865]

Love seeing my two favorite coaches in the same space.

[@UpperDeckDawg]

Love both these guys!!! The best coaches we could ever have!

[@ammoniawilder4451]

I’m glad mark went home to Georgia after his retirement

[@randyjones3180]

Richt still my favorite coach. Loved how Coach Smart genuinely gave respect to Coach Richt.

[@gmh857]

Good to see Coach Richt. God bless him and his family.

[@travismccaslin8332]

Happy to see Coach Richt!!! Damn good dawg

[@peterstoddard6225]

God Bless the entire Richt family!!!

[@philgoodpaster3161]

UK fan here. Hoping for an upset. I think we have a chance. GA and its coaches, players, fans, and your entire program are a class act and the gold standard. Bowers is a freak. I just hope to slow him down some. Pray for an injury free game on both sides. 🏈

[@ghostship85]

Good looking out. Dangerous sport to be sure. Bowers knew he was good not sure he knew he was THIS good.

[@feliciabrillant9187]

Big Blue definitely has a chance to knock off the Dawgs as every team does on any given Saturday. I love watching Kentucky play & always want them to win. However, this Saturday between the hedges I believe, will go to my beloved Dawgs. Good luck & let’s hope for a good game! ❤️🖤

[@jcallaway1617]

So great to see this. Love both of those guys! Both DGDs and Jaden is a beautiful little lady dawg! CMR's "Lie and deny" line was awesome!

[@patrickoneill8707]

When Richt said that I spit my sweet tea out and almost ruined my laptop!

[@mckinseyand2022]

love coach CMR & Smart!

[@kennethherrin4366]

We Love you Coach Richt Forever a Dawg 🦴❤️

[@georgiaboyfishing7240]

I'm loving what's taken place at the podium with both coaches

[@davidd8683]

Simply awesome! What a great man CMR is.

Love you coach I know all about Parkinson's my cousin is dealing with it . God 🙏 bless you and your family you already know the Lord has a plan and he is in control he loves us all .keep faith my friend.❤🖤

Coach Richt almost gave us a natty. Love that guy!

[@alexmangrum90]

Nothing but respect for richt

[@EricJohnsa]

Kirby is a good, decent man who is respectful. Mark Richt is a wonderful, good man and I admire him personally.

[@takeitorleaveitcommen7764]

Is there anyone on Earth with more class than Mark Richt?

[@godislarge1]

Coach Richt is a true human being and it’s great seeing Kirby acknowledge him and his cause!! That was a TREASURED moment that will be remembered FOREVER!!!

[@scottkerr9377]

Coach Richt is a great coach and an exceptional human being.

[@tenebre911]

Love you Coach Richt. Prayers to you and your family!

[@BredaPest]

Todd Gurley and AJ Green thank you for that comment!

[@mikehoward4244]

Both coaches are just amazing. Thank you both.GO DAWGS

[@matthewphillips2698]

I'm not going to lie I love coach Mark richt. I'm glad he didn't leave the cover bear for Kirby in his first year. You helped with that 86-15 record that's better than Bear Bryant,Pete Carroll,Nick Saban in their first hundred games as head coach! Kirby has the best record of any College football Coach in their first hundred games! That's a pretty good collection of coaches to be named with!

[@Cautionary_Tale_Harris]

Matthew, I had to read your comment again and wonder what a "cover bear" was. I got a good chuckle when I realized you meant "cupboard bare!" 😂 Take care and have a good day!

[@keysersoze5990]

Mark was so unlucky but such an amazing human being! The nation loves that man!!!

[@calsnow6807]

CMR what a class act, he did so much for the dawgs and all the young men he coached!

[@uremadbro]

Coach Richt is THE MAN! Love all of the great things he did for the University of Georgia. The ultimate ambassador. 2:52 oh man, that was a great quip from CMR delivered almost in Norm Macdonald like fashion. A shame he had to deal with the suspensions of AJ Green and Todd Gurley that totally derailed those seasons.

[@greggalton3331]

Love seeing Richt in that Georgia polo again! Always wished he had stayed as some support staff member just somehow staying connected to the team but I get why he didn’t back in 2015

[@williamstalvey6920]

Awesome!! Big time respect for Coach Richt!!

[@robertsaylor7380]

I'm a Kentucky fan and coach Smart is a top notch coach he does a lot for unfortunate people and donates to many.

[@bradny27]

I love this school and program

[@shootem5568]

Lol CMR will always be a UGA legend

[@LudingtonBass]

God bless u and ur family.

This made me tear up. Seriously

[@southerndawg1966]

Coach Richt is a great leader of men. He’s just such a good man! God bless you and your family coach. We love you man. Go Dawgs!

[@Cautionary_Tale_Harris]

I might have disagreed with some of the decisions CMR made on the field but he's always had my utmost respect as a good man.

[@bchaffer79]

Gotta love this if your a UGA fan

[@brantuga9915]

I love Coach Richt I also love Coach smart but Mark Richt will always be loved in dog nation. I grew up watching him coach Georgia on the sidelines. Now I’m 25 wow times have changed. Coach Richt is a great man. I’ve heard a lot of good things about him helping people when he coached at Georgia one thing specifically I heard about coach is one time It was raining real hard and coach gave those kids a ride so they wouldn’t get wet That’s a great man

[@zacharycain7045]

Big CMR fan! Seems like a great event!

[@peachstate08]

OMG - my heat is broken :( sweet girl, great coaches - God Bless you all :)

[@jordanb.4514]

this gave me the warm fuzzies 💖

[@jpg7753]

Damn Good Dawgs!

[@dawgpost90]

Richt was a victim of the BCS era nonsense. They would have made the college football playoffs at least two or three times in his tenure. Might have played for a natty or two.

[@nweeezy]

actual factuals

[@Southprong59]

. . . and the LSU/Katrina favoritism in the media that allowed LSU to jump UGA in the BCS final poll before the championship.

[@josefadams647]

as a UNIV OF KENTUCKY fan I have immense respect for both Coach R. and Coach S.

Love cmr!

[@waynesmith2462]

I am a UK fan and always liked Coach Richt, good man , as for the game Saturday I think this will be a good hard hitting physical games, Bowers is a freak athlete, I think UK is closing the gap but UGA still has too many studs so I think the line is about right , always have respected UGA football,

[@PoliticallyIncorrect90]

Mark should've been in a couple National Championship games with UGA. It didn't work out, but he was a fine coach and is an even better person.

[@Cautionary_Tale_Harris]

Gah that one year when the Dawgs lost to Bama and Bama got to spank Notre Dame... The Dawgs were so close!!!

[@briangregory8223]

Gamecock fan and THIS is what life is about. Good job Dawgs.

[@patrickoneill8707]

You are a classy South Carolina fan my friend.

[@englishpope1664]

If this does not make you proud to be a Georgia fan, you need to check your pulse. It's a new and outstanding era for Georgia Bulldog football but everyone is involved in Bulldog nation needs to know it takes a village to build a legacy.

[@mikefree3511]

Go Dawgs!

[@Matt-id1hp]

As a Bama fan I really don't see the hate for this team other than they beat us, and that's just people being sore losers. Such great people all over the team, especially Coach Smart & Richt.

[@patrickoneill8707]

You are a classy Alabama fan my friend. Good luck this week against to Jimbo, this is your game of the year so far.

[@Matt-id1hp]

@@patrickoneill8707 thank you brother, enjoyed watching Georgia proceed to absolutely slaughter the Kentucky hype. Maybe we'll see you in the SEC championship, but only time and our number of penalties will tell.

That’s why I’m a lifer Dawg fan

Go dawgs.

[@paulshears5202]

From a Bama fan ole Mark Richt was a darn good coach I don’t care what anybody says and he done a fantastic job during his tenure at Georgia. Kirby has done great but Richt put the motor in the car all Kirby had to do was get it running

[@keithboone4437]

I believe he still have alot of to do with that program in more ways than one

[@mikehoward4244]

At first I thought Kirby was going to name him the new offensive coordinator when he introduced him.

[@nakjon]

😂 idk why this comment made me laugh hysterically

[@PoliticallyIncorrect90]

The comments about the ncaa were awesome.

Do you have the link to donate by chance?

[@BigstickNick]

The fact that he’s fighting for his granddaughter

Coach Richt would have went to at least 2 playoffs if the playoff had been around when he was coach

Looking forward to a great game Saturday night. The fans will have to bring it big time for this one. Go Dawgs.
