As Kirby Smart looks to begin his journey to the ranks of all-time great Georgia coaches, he’ll have to impress UGA legend and College Football Hall-of-Famer Vince Dooley, who is on hand for Saturday’s game.
Dooley, who won 201 games and the 1980 national championship as Georgia’s head coach from 1964-1988, was spotted on the sideline of the Georgia Dome with former Georgia standout Hines Ward:

Ward caught 149 passes for 1,965 yards during his Georgia career before going on to snag exactly 1,000 passes during his illustrious NFL career.
No. 18 Georgia will take on No. 22 North Carolina at the Georgia Dome at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN.
