	Athletes - Vince Dooley

Vincent Joseph Dooley (born September 4, 1932 in Mobile, Alabama) 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 6 Southeastern Conference titles and the 1980 National Championship. Dooley's teams were known for their hard nosed defense and conservative yet fundamentally sound offenses.

Dooley is a graduate of Auburn University (1954, M.His 1963) where he played college football and later coached under Ralph "Shug" Jordan. In 2004 the U.S. Sports Academy presented Dooley with the Carl Maddox Sport Management Award, an award given annually to an individual for contribution to the growth and development of sports through management practices. Also in 2004 Dooley was inducted into UGA's Circle of Honor, which is the school's highest tribute to former athletes and coaches.

Despite his successes, Dooley is sometimes criticized for the number of NCAA violations under his administration as athletic director. During that time, Georgia was found guilty of five major infractions.
