Mark Richt, who turns 56 in February, isn’t making plans to go to the coaching retirement community just yet.

A day after being let go after 15 seasons as Georgia’s football coach, Richt says he will consider other coaching opportunities.

“Oh, yeah,” Richt said at a Monday morning news conference on campus. “No doubt. I’ll say this: If and when I do coach again, I’m looking forward to coaching again in terms of being more hands on. I miss coaching quarterbacks, I miss calling plays, I miss that part of it.
