I was always inspired by Coach Dooley’s
unwavering love for the University of
Georgia and his tireless efforts to make
UGA a better, stronger institution.
Whether as an iconic coach or beloved
athletic director or through his generous
financial support of numerous areas of
our University, Coach Dooley impacted
countless lives at UGA. His career and
legacy transformed UGA, and he will be
sorely missed.
JERE W. MOREHEAD,
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
PRESIDENT
Coach Dooley was a
mentor and a friend.
It meant the world to
me to be able to lean
on him for advice and
counsel. He made
Georgia what it is today
and I work every day to
honor his legacy.
JOSH BROOKS,
J. REID PARKER
DIRECTOR OF UGA
ATHLETICS
We have lost one of the legendary figures
in the history of not only Georgia athletics
but also college athletics in this country. He
was a true man for all seasons with his many
interests, curiosities, and thirst for learning. He
enjoyed respect and admiration throughout
his life. Coach had an immeasurable impact on
thousands of young people and was a standard
bearer for teamwork, discipline, integrity, class,
work ethic and doing the right thing. It’s a
huge loss for his family and all those who were
fortunate enough to pass his way.

ASSOCIATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

is up to me.”
