The Georgia Bulldogs college football team represents the University of Georgia in the East Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Bulldogs compete as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. The school has had 25 head coaches since it began play during the 1892 season.[1] Since December 2000, Mark Richt has served as Georgia's head coach.[2]
The team has played more than 1,200 games over 118 seasons of Georgia football.[3] Five coaches have led the Bulldogs to postseason bowl games: Wally Butts, Vince Dooley, Ray Goff, Jim Donnan and Richt.[3] Four coaches also won conference championships: Herman Stegeman won one as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association; Butts, Dooley and Richt won a combined twelve as a member of the SEC.[3] During their tenures, Butts and Dooley each won a national championship with the Bulldogs.[3][4]
Dooley is the leader in seasons coached and games won, with 201 victories during his 25 years with the Bulldogs.[1][3] Robert Winston has the highest winning percentage with .833, and Charles A. Barnard has the lowest winning percentage with .167.[3] Four of the team's coaches, Pop Warner, Butts, Dooley and Donnan have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana.[5][6][7][8]
