re: Vince Dooley never lost to Florida 2 years in a row

To be fair Dooley coached before Florida had a real football program

Not sure. I mean also is it really a rivalry? I mean when one team wins roughly once every 6 years or so, that's not a rivalry. It's like calling Vandy-Tennessee a rivalry.

I think you mean like calling Tennessee-Bama a rivalry.

Vince Dooley needed Hershel Walker to win. Dooley's O minus Walker was like 2014 LSU, even worse. Buck Baleau completed only 1 pass in the 1980 national title game and they still won.

This isn't a slam on Dooley, it's to point out his kind of ball wouldn't work in modern times.

Someone should have told Will Muschamp this fact.

quote:

And Dooley was a shite show vs Auburn and CMR owns them.
And he also has more bowl victories in 14 years than Dooley had in 25 and more top 10 finishes.

Get out of here with your facts. What do you think this is?

quote:

---

We fired Charlie Mac for not beating Bama.

Not to hijack the thread, but this is bullshite revisionist history. If we were going to fire him for not beating Alabama, we sure as hell would not have waited 18 years until he was 2-14 against them. He got fired because not only did he keep losing to Alabama, but he also started losing to Mississippi State, Kentucky, and others. His last six years' records were

5-5-1 (losses to Texas A&M, Florida, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi St., tie to Rice)*
4-7 (losses to Nebraska, Texas A&M, Florida, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, Mississippi State)**
6-4-1 (Losses to Florida, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi State, tie to Nebraska)***
8-4 (Losses to Indiana, Kentucky, Alabama, Stanford)
8-4 (Losses to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi State, Missouri)
7-5 (Losses to USC, Georgia, Florida State, Alabama, Tulane)

* Later changed to 6-4-1 when Mississippi State had to forfeit its win
** Later changed to 5-6 when Mississippi State had to forfeit its win
*** Later changed to 7-3-1 when Mississippi State had to forfeit its win

lol. Spurrier didn't start till after Dooley retired.

I assume you mean started coaching? BTW Both Dooley and Spurrier first years (1964)were with Spurrier a soph QB and Dooley a first year coach at UGA (oh, Dooley went to AU as a player). So they started out same time.

Dont under estimate Dooley as a coach against UF...most of you werent even a gleam in your daddys eye yet. UF had some good teams and Dooley had our number. Dooley coached for over 20 yrs at UGA...thats why he became AD...a common practice back in those days when ADs were just figureheads and a way to give cushy job to long time football coaches. I was very glad to see Dooley retired as HC.

Dooley took how long to win a title? I find it hilarious how overrated he is. It took Walker to win a title...and he basically just handed it off too him. Took such a brilliant mind.

The Florida Gators are Georgia'a biggest rival.

Congrats on having a stupid rivalry.

Dooley retired before Florida exploded, its not really fair to look at it that way- it's like how Mark Richt probably has a better record vs Tennessee than any Dawg coach ever.

---

^This. Back when Dooley coached UGA, Florida was a inconsistent program that had yet to really break through and join the world of elite programs. It's ridiculous to compare Dooley's record to Richt's as Florida wasn't close to being in the same stratosphere it inhabits now.
