"Coach Dooley was a great coach and an even better man who made a lasting impact on this university and on college football as a whole. He touched the lives of the young men who played for him in a profound and special way. He proved that Carolina was a program that could produce a winning tradition and his legacy is something we strive to uphold each and every day. Our thoughts are with Marie and the entire Dooley family in this very difficult time.”

"Coach Dooley helped change the course of college football. He reversed the trend at UNC where he built a winner. The ACC, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest all benefitted from his great leadership. But most importantly, he mentored character development to thousands of young men."

"Along with Coach Smith and Athletic Director Homer Rice, Coach Bill Dooley was instrumental in bringing me home to Carolina in 1971 to broadcast the games. He was an outstanding football coach at UNC and helped the Tar Heels to great success in the 1970s. I will miss his everlasting friendship and continued support of football and amateur sports in our state."
