He did wonders with marginal talent. If we had a decent OC that could help keep the D off the field, well…that’s another story.

There were some issues that Johnson did not like with the USC administration, and when BVG bolted for Atlanta, Johnson’s salary package was sweetened considerably, in the form of bonuses, some easy to attain, others not so much.

But, Johnson wanted to come home, so to speak, but I don’t think Hyman was willing to play ball the first time around.

Oh, and I hope you hang 50 on USCe in W-B.

Alabama early, but that faded.

Winning when everyone was running the ball and playing decent defense – that’s hard.

And, yes, we hate Florida and Spurrier. Film at 11.

Although some Spurrier hatred may have turned into pity with his move to South Cackalacka. However, I will have no such pity cheering the Dawgs to hang 30+ in Columbia next year versus Visor and his 2nd-choice DC.

(dating myself)

Dooley’s success came when the SEC = Run the Football.
Spurrier changed that.

What does it take for a school/person to come off the Ellis T. Jones watchlist? Do any additional points for the school aside from the individual trigger that? I’d hate to see a 52 point contribution slighted because of another single DUI.

Or does it go to the individual with the most points?

Or somewhere in between? Perhaps the individual needs to hold a supermajority of the schools total points?

So many questions…

Wow, you guys really do hate Florida that much.

I meant, “greater weight in SEC history than Spurrier”

And it’s called “bias”. No screaming about that comment, please. Just reporting how UGA fans think.

The older crowd does think of him as UGA’s “Bear” and definitely give him greater weight in SEC history (can’t get over the Florida thing).

The younger crowd hopes that Richt blows Dooley’s record away and don’t really linger on the past (considering recent success), but they understand that he was a successful coach and a good steward of the athletic department for decades.

As the son of a former college football player and high school coach and being around football coaches of varying levels for years, I truly appreciate the type of coach that Dooley is/was and the steady presence and leadership he brought to UGA. Give him a statue at the stadium. Put his name on the field. I’m not a big fan of hyphenated names, but naming the field isn’t a bad idea. Or maybe change Sanford Drive to Dooley Drive or the bridge. I dunno. Do something near or with the stadium though.

Just leave room for a similar tribute to Richt in twenty years…

I don’t care to much for hyphenated naming. Cheapens tradition, so to speak. Dooley-Sanford would sound like it was named for Lamonts brother.

And we apologize for the stain on society that is Branson.

Howard is the only coach in Clemson history to have a losing record versus South Carolina.

The above is embarrassing.

I have no problem conceding that Vince Dooley had a better coaching career than Frank Howard, just as I have no problem stating that Mark Richt has done a better job at Georgia than Tommy Bowden has done at Clemson.

I just want some Georgia opinions on Vince Dooley at this point.

How do you view him, should Georgia be playing at Sanford-Dooley Stadium or on Dooley field, etc etc etc?

But, you will not get no qualms from me in characterizing Frank Howard as slightly above mediocre.

Frank Howard: 165-118-12

Y’all name your field and a rock for Howard the cheap iptay way.
