Many of the stories that will be told about Bill Dooley this weekend are true. Others will be exaggerations. But, all have been told so many times that it’s hard to tell which are which.
Reflections of former players, assistant coaches and friends have been constant since the former Carolina football coach passed away on Tuesday. His funeral will be Saturday in Wilmington.
Dooley came to Chapel Hill in 1967 and rebuilt a football program that had sputtered since the Charlie Justice teams of the late 1940s.
