Nah, not exactly. I'm just saying that Dooley was averaging about 6 or 7 wins a year in his first 14. We (for whatever reason....I guess because expectations were clearly different back then) stuck with him in spite of his horrible record and, eventually, we got 1980. By today's standards, Dooley would have been fired after year 3.
UM - VD went 9 - 1 and won the SEC in year 3
he also won the SEC in year 5 - 1968, the year I was born
had 2 down years in years 6 & 7 and then went 11 - 1
the he won the SEC again in 1976 with Ray Goff - didn't we have a chance to be crowned NC if we had beat Pitt that year?
YES - he had a few BAD seasons, but back then, rebuilding years were accepted and he ALWAYS came back with strong seniors
he would not be fired, even with today's expectations - probably not even at Bama or Auburn

let's tell the whole tale shall we? dooley had years of, in order, 6-4, 7-4, 5-5-1, 5-5, 7-4, 7-4-1, 6-6, 5-6, 6-5. Richt has only had 1 truly shitty year, and a few average years. Compared to dooley, who had a shite ton of them.

he damn sure would. If the internet and social media was like it was now, back then, we'd never have 1980 and dooley wouldn't have lasted 25 years.
