Maryland officials have made contact with former Georgia coach Mark Richt to gauge his interest in the school’s head football coaching vacancy, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed on Monday night.
While Maryland’s interest in Richt represents the latest twist in the school’s coaching search, it remains unclear if the two sides will meet to discuss the opening further. Richt stepped down at Georgia on Sunday in a move that looked like a firing.
InsideMarylandSports.com first reported on Monday night that Maryland had reached out to Richt, who finished 145-51 over 15 seasons during his tenure at Georgia.
