Bill Pace spent most of his coaching career in the SEC, taking assistant jobs at Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee and spending six years as Vanderbilt’s head coach.

Pace led the Commodores to a 22-38-3 record.

He coached under Vince Dooley at Georgia and installed the veer offense as the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator, and also served as the assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach for Johnny Majors at Tennessee.

Pace’s other stops included the Kansas Jayhawks and New England Patriots, and he served as Vanderbilt’s athletic director for two years in the early 1970s.
