Vince Dooley

Vincent Joseph Dooley (born September 4, 1932) was the head football coach (seasons 1964 through 1988) and athletic director (1979 to 2004) at the University of Georgia. During his 25-year coaching career at UGA, Dooley compiled a 201–77–10 record. His teams won six Southeastern Conference titles and the 1980 national championship. After the 1980 season, Dooley was recognized as college football's "Coach of the Year" by several organizations, including the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, whose annual award has since been renamed as the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award. Dooley's teams were known for their hard nosed defense and conservative yet fundamentally sound offenses. From 1964 to 1980, Dooley was notably assisted by his defensive coordinator, Erskine "Erk" Russell.

Early life and education

Dooley grew up in Mobile, Alabama and attended the McGill Institute, administered by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. Dooley competed on behalf of McGill's athletic teams, known as the Yellow Jackets, and for a few years considered basketball to be his best sport.

Famous quotes by Vince Dooley:

"I don't remember doing it. So I did, eh?"

"[Gators coach Ray Graves later called that 1965 victory] the sweetest I've ever experienced. ... the toughest of my coaching career."

"That was huge for us,"

"Stanfill put him on his tail four or five times, ... Steve was a great athlete, confident and cocky, but we put tremendous pressure on him. That was the best way I knew to stop the quarterback."

"I see a coach who worked at it, studied other coaches, who was driven to be a good coach overall, ... We all need a little humility, and he's probably an even better coach than he was from that [Redskins] experience."

"I've said many times that I knew Herschel was going to be good, but I never thought he would be that good that fast. But I was certainly going to give him the opportunity."

"The passing game is more sophisticated now, but we are also more sophisticated in trying to defend it."

"He's got a way of irritating fans."

"[Any dislike of Spurrier starts] first with the winning, ... Not only that, on other occasions he might make comments. He might score more points here in Athens. Instead of trying to slow the scoring down, it seems like he never tried to slow the scoring down. That really rubs (people the wrong way). So it's a combination ? the winning and the other things."

"So when you get about 20 coaches — most of whom have done very well — together, it is like a reunion."

A Cradle In Bethlehem

by: Vince Gill

Sing sweet and low a lullaby, till Angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
While wise men follow through the dark, a star that beckons them
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
A little child shall lead them, the prophets said of old
Storm and tempest heed them until the bell is tolled
Sing sweet and low your lullaby, till angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
