Richt, 55, will be introduced in a press conference Friday morning at 10 a.m. WSB-TV in Atlanta reports that Richt will not coach the Bulldogs in their bowl game.
Richt was the Georgia coach until he was relieved of his duties on Sunday.
In 15 years on the sidelines for the Bulldogs, Richt led Georgia to two SEC Championships and was twice named the conference's coach of the year.
Richt will replace Al Golden who was fired on Oct. 25.
With high profile collegiate jobs open around the country, it appears that the school made a quick move to bring Richt back to his alma mater where he played from 1979-82.
