Guess he will be skipping The Huddle

One of my favorite people in the sport. Made me remember what it was like to win. But most importantly he’s a phenomenal person and mentor. Congrats, coach

 

[Phydeaux]

I hope the fans show for this

I do love the honors and ceremonies pre game
We have such an amazing history, it's fantastic to put a bright light on it as much as we can.

Well deserved!

Love this for Coach Richt. Such a shame we got him so late in his career and dwindling health. Still won games for us.

Canes should have pivoted to Richt after Butch instead of Coker. He obviously would have won in 2001 and likely 2002 as well and worst case scenario the next 15 years would have been Georgia type results - winning 75% of his games, conference titles, and right on the cusp of championships.

Obvious roadblocks were that Georgia had just hired him in December 2000 and Butch didn't leave until almost the end of January 2001. Still think he would have jumped if we called. Miami was the highest paid coaching gig in America including Shannon's first couple years. Richt is loyal and didn't entertain our calls in 2010 but I bet he would have in 2001.

Feel like it’s almost disrespectful to do it against such a weak opponent. He deserves to be honored in a packed house. Love Richt. Great dude.

Probably helps him with his ACCN commitments to do it on a Thurs night. They have been doing on-site broadcasts for their Saturday night games

Great for this man.

Why do some continue to post negative comments? What is the point?

 

[WestEndZone]

He doesn’t have much time left.

He doesn’t have much time left.

Are his afflictions in the terminal stage???
There are a lot of deceases (other than Parkinson's) that don't give much warning before they take you out... we're all on the clock.

Shannon only made 1 million a yr for 4yrs....

Yep Shannon was the first coach in CFB to make $1M per year.

Don't ask me where I read that but I did lol

Edit: Maybe it was Coker that was highest paid at the time and first to make $1M per year.

Just my sense of things. His condition has severely worsened in my opinion based on what I saw this weekend curing the ACC ESPN coverage.

****, wish they would do this during a bigger game! He deserves it! Either way, good for him and his family!

Scheduling thing

It was difficult to watch in week 1. Not as bad as Corso, but the guys on set helped him with names when he couldn't remember or lost his train of thought.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Good for him he seems like a really good person.
