Over the years, I have often thought about the many husband-wife teams that have served UGA well.
That begs a disclaimer in that clearing the nepotism hurdle was not that difficult. So long as the husband in those good old days of good old boys was not his spouse’s direct supervisor, there were no issues and no controversies.
There was some grumbling when Vince Dooley, in 1964 as the new head coach of the Bulldogs, hired his brother Bill as his offensive coordinator. Vince was Bill’s direct supervisor, but after further review, it was decided that since the UGA Athletic Association did not receive state funds and had to be self-supporting that an exception could be made for the Dooley brothers.
