No head coach since at least the 1940's has left UGA to take another coaching job, either NFL or college. They've either retired or been fired.
Yup... Wally Butts started as HC in 1939(I've heard that year mentioned often )...
UGA has only had 7 head coaches in the last 84 years, not sure about Butts and Griffith (will hafta look) but since '64 all gave lived in Athens...
7 Coaches in 84yrs and counting with CKS, UGA must be doing something right...
Eta:... Butts died in Athens in '73, Griffith went on to coach a few years at gt and passed away in Duluth Ga. Bout 40 miles from Athens...
