Mark Richt abruptly stepped down as Miami’s coach at the end of last season, and at least as it stands, that will be his last job.
Richt announced Saturday that he was joining the ACC Network as an analyst, and said that it was “not in the plans” to return to coaching in the future.
“I’m really excited about this ACC Network opportunity,” Richt said, via Andrea Adelson of ESPN. “And I think I can help the fans enjoy the game more and understand the game more and it allows me to keep staying involved with this game of football. And it also gives me time to see our grandchildren more and our own children. So right now, I’m mostly focused on that.”
The door is always going to be open for him to change his mind. However, Richt has already started picking up TV work, and he sounds done. It’s a bit surprising, as he’s only 59 years old.
