<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><br /><span style="font-size: 110%;">Finally, Coach Dooley's Choice of the Best Plays in Bulldog History!</span></strong><br /> </span></p>
<p>In <em>Dooley&rsquo;s Playbook</em>, legendary University of Georgia coach and former athletic director, Vince Dooley, has selected thirty-four of the most significant plans in Bulldog history spanning eighty years. These plays are brought-to-life by descriptions of the action so exciting that you&rsquo;ll feel like you are on the field. Acclaimed painter <a href="http://www.matregallery.com/penley/"><strong>Steve Penley</strong></a> has prepared a painting for each that perfectly captures the tension and energy behind the key moment of each play. The action is also diagrammed by Dooley himself, creating a true and ultimate Georgia bulldog&rsquo;s playbook.</p>
<p>Dooley choose to feature thirty-four plays as that was <strong>Herschel Walker</strong>&rsquo;s jersey number, which is certain to put a smile on the face of every member of the Bulldog Nation. However, knowing that there were additional pivotal moments in Georgia history, Dooley also includes a separate section of additional great plays across the decades, as well as a tribute to the greatest kickers.</p>
<p>This is the book every Bulldog fan has been waiting for. Finally, Dooley has weighed-in and made his picks. Join him for an incredible journey through UGA football history.</p>
<p>VINCE DOOLEY was the head football coach for the University of Georgia Bulldogs from 1964-1988 and UGA athletic director from 1979-2004. During his twenty-five year coaching career he compiled a 201-77-10 record, and his teams played in twenty bowl games, won six S.E.C. championships, and won the national championship. He was inducted into the National Football Hall of Fame. He lives in Athens, Georgia.</p>
