                       HONORING COACH MARK RICHT

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
legendary college football coach Mark Richt for his induction into the 
College Football Hall of Fame.
  Mark Richt coached the Bulldogs for 15 seasons and amassed a 145-51 
record. He went on to win two SEC championships and multiple division 
titles. His lengthy tenure saw numerous iconic moments in Georgia 
football history.
  After leaving the University of Georgia, Rick became the head coach 
of the Miami Hurricanes. He coached there for three seasons, which 
included an Orange Bowl appearance.
  Mark Richt has been known for his off-the-field work just as much as 
for his on-the-field work. He has partnered with numerous nonprofit 
organizations throughout the years.
  In 2021, Coach Richt revealed that he had been diagnosed with 
Parkinson's

disease. He has faced that challenge as he has with all in his life, 
with courage and a deep-abiding faith in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus 
Christ.
  Congratulations to Coach Richt for his storybook career. He has 
forever changed the lives of many young men, UGA athletics, and college 
football.
