Coach Richt shares Parkinson's diagnosis.

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

Went on his Twitter last night and had to stop reading all of the well-wishers, I was starting to tear up.

I love that man to death. Go Dawgs.

Dad was diagnosed a few months back. Rough news. Will include CMR in my prayers.

Glad to know he is a man of faith, there is nothing more important than that.

Man, I hate to hear this. He's a great guy who always put God, Family, and Country first.

Many prayers for Coach Richt and his family....He should know there are an awful lot of people out here pulling for him....

Whoever downvoted can go frick right off. I usually could care less but c'mon, we are talking about a man's life and well-being here. Christ. I do believe in karma and you know what they say about it.

It’s one downvote that’s someone probably fat fingered bro. Relax.


Prayers for coach richt. Always seemed like a nice man.

So sorry to hear this. Does anybody here know what symptoms you would have at the beginning of this disease? I think something is wrong with my SIL but she won't go to Dr. She is crazy to begin with.

Fair enough. Like I said I usually care less about up/down votes but that one triggered me. Mark Richt is a great, Christian man who doesn't deserve this. But as always he's showing absolute class and humility.

What an odd thing to melt about. Some of y’all put way too much value in meaningless stuff like that. Sounds like you just care more about your thread having a perfect upvote ratio

Mark Richt has lost control of his body.

Just kidding. Even though he made my alma mater his bitch for 15+ years, always respected the hell out of the man. Luckily this is something that can somewhat be managed.

I have noticed there is two down votes pretty quickly on any thread that has anything remotely in it that is standard American values, especially if it is anything considered conservative or religious.

True enemy of the people, communist/fascist scum. The number grows by the day in this country unfortunately.

He’s in for a fight. God bless him it’s a terrible disease that slowly but surely kills you a little every day.

I'm sorry to hear it. My mom has been suffering from it for years now. It's not a dignified way to live.

This is pretty sad, doubly so because I remember well when Richt was the hot young coach- probably circa 2001? Doesn't feel like that long ago, and here we are.

Kind of wish he'd won it all at least once. He was so close.

I think a lot of folks forget how he orchestrated that FSU no-huddle offense. I was surprised that he was less willing to innovate once he got to Georgia.

Lost my mom to Parkinsons last year after a long battle. This is one of Gods cruel little jokes. My mom went from a sweet, southern lady to a mean, cursing, hateful b@&ch. I feel for Coach of course. But his family will need lots of prayers and support as it takes it toll on those that have to live with this disease daily

My Mom died from Parkinson's.

It was awful.
