Coach Richt diagnosed w/Parkinson's.

Fight the good fight, CMR. One of the good guys and a true model of what a Christian should be. Go Dawgs.

Good luck to Coach Richt.

From every person fighting this disease, we learn something new that will eventually help defeat it.

As much as I dislike UGA and their trashy fans, I never hated that dude. Hope he gets good treatment and is able to deal with the disease.

Florida fans are the trashiest in the SEC, and it ain't close.

Knowing Coach Richt, he'll probably spend the remainder of his time helping others rather than focusing on himself.

Prayers sent for a wonderful human being.

Man that’s terrible.

He seems like a guy who is about to have one hell of an enjoyable retirement, too. He’ll still take advantage of it, but things will definitely get hard in time.

Hopefully it was caught early. Thankfully where he lives just outside Athens there are numerous great hospitals w/in an hour drive.

MJF has had it fot 30 years. It can be managed.

Went on his Twitter and had to stop reading all the well-wishes, I literally started tearing up. Doing it now typing this.

I love that man to death.

Parkinsons isn’t fatal. Related complications are, though generally only reduce life expectancy by 1 to 2 years from a normal person.
