Former Georgia coach Mark Richt tweeted on Monday morning that he had suffered a heart attack, and indicated that he would be fine.

Richt — who is 59 years old — did say in his tweet that he plans to be at work this week. The former Georgia coach now works as a commentator for the ACC Network.

I wanted to be able to inform everyone that I did have a heart attack this morning. I am doing fine,” Richt tweeted. “As I went through the experience I had peace knowing I was going to heaven but I was going to miss my wife. I plan to be at work this week.”

I am assuming word travels fast. So I wanted to be able to inform everyone that I did have a heart attack this morning. I am doing fine.

Richt coached at Georgia from 2001-15, compiling a 145-51 record as Georgia’s head coach. He is the second-winningest coach in program history, behind only Vince Dooley. Georgia and Richt parted ways after the 2015 season. He was then the head coach at Miami for three years, going 26-13 in his time with the Hurricanes. For his career, Richt went 171-64.

As Georgia’s head coach, Richt won two SEC titles in ’02 and ’05, Georgia’s first two since the 1982 season. Richt also recruited and develop a number of NFL stars, including AJ Green, Matthew Stafford, Todd Gurley, Geno Atkins and David Pollack.

After a disappointing 7-6 season in 2018, Richt announced that he would be retiring from coaching.
