VINCENT JOSEPH DOOLEY<br />
SEPTEMBER 4, 1932 - OCTOBER 28, 2022<br />
I will always be indebted to<br />
Coach Dooley for giving me the<br />
opportunity to play football and<br />
earn a degree at the University<br />
of Georgia. He saw something<br />
in me that others didn’t and<br />
inserted me as a starter my junior<br />
year. After my playing career<br />
was over, he provided me the<br />
opportunity to be a graduate<br />
assistant, earn a Master’s Degree<br />
and, more importantly, continue<br />
to learn from him. He was a<br />
great mentor who continued to<br />
impact my life after my playing/<br />
coaching career by always being<br />
available and supportive. He not<br />
only influenced me, but had a<br />
generational impact as I passed<br />
on to my children lessons learned<br />
from him. I will greatly miss him<br />
and his wise counsel.<br />

He had a knack for<br />
motivating young me to<br />
do the best on and off<br />
the field. He knew how<br />
to “push your buttons.”<br />
He truly cared about<br />
us individually, not<br />
just as football players,<br />
but as men. I’m using<br />
his phrase … he had a<br />
“thirst for knowledge “<br />
… that never stopped.<br />
Incredible coach, yes but<br />
he was always trying to<br />
educate us off the field<br />
as well. The older I get,<br />
the more my respect<br />
grows for him.<br />
