Mark Richt, the former Georgia coach and current ACC Network analyst, addressed false reports circulating online about his health. He clarified on social media that he is not hospitalized despite rumors suggesting otherwise.
“Apparently, there’s something out there on the Internet saying that I’m in the hospital,” Richt posted on X. “Lol.”
Richt humorously described how his recent appearance might have led to such misconceptions: “If you had seen me running down the street today, it was so pitiful you probably would have thought I needed to be admitted to the hospital.”
