Super sad news. What a great man and coach. A true legend. His memory will last forever at the Dawg House.
Rest in Peace fine sir...
Oh, man! Hate to hear this! My condolences to the Dooley family.
May he rest in peace!
And just for coach Dooley...
GO DAWGS!
OMG..... what devastating news......
A true legend and a DGD forever.
At least he got to see one more UGA National Championship before his passing.
He will be sorely missed by many.
Wow..very sad news. Seems like not long ago Coach Dooley was roaming the sideline as the Head Bulldog. We lost a truly great man who cared deeply about UGA.My prayers, and deepest condolences to the family. RIP Mr. Dooley.
The **** Good "Junkyard" Dawg...Vince, you will be sorely missed but your memory and legacy will forever breathe life into the greatness that the University of Georgia has become.
He was the heart and soul of UGA when I was there and long after. RIP Vince and thanks for the memories.
My condolences to the family
A legend and one of the best ever has left us today and will be so greatly missed.
Rest In Peace Coach
If there was ever a DGD I'm certain that you topped that list.
I've only been a UGA fan since Kirby took over in 2016 (but I did watch the Fatun Bata game) but quality is perhaps better than quality. I live in Chicago (yes, I know), but listen to every pregame show and podcast about UGA that I can find. That is how I learned of Vince Dooley. My sincere condolences to Vince's family, and to all the Dawg fans out there.
Man!! I always loved to watch his body language on the sidelines especially in tight games. He could be funny
A great coach who, if he had been a little more wide open offensively, like Bobby Bowden, could have won 2 - 4 more National Championships. He won't be forgotten, because Dooley Field will live on. RIP Coach.
Thank you Coach for all you did for UGA. A legend indeed and for sure, a DGD! Rest In Peace coach, your work here on earth is done and done well my friend. My condolences to Barbara. Deanna, Daniel, Denise, Derek and the rest of their family and friends!
I loved how he would say that powder-puff U would be a tough game. They have an all-american kicker, etc. etc. and then UGA would beat the snot out of them. RIP Coach. Glad I was there during one of your best runs. - UGA '85
