Richt's new deal leaves door open

Now that Georgia coach Mark Richt’s contract has at last been finalized, what’s it mean for all parties involved? For starters, Richt – who’s entering his 12th season at Georgia – no longer has a buyout if he chooses to walk away or decides he wants to go coach elsewhere or maybe even go into missionary work full time. Keep in mind that Richt has said repeatedly that Athens is his home, and he has numerous family members living within minutes of him.
