  • 1 Keynote Address by Georgia Tech President G. Wayne
    KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY GEORGIA TECH PRESIDENT G. WAYNE CLOUGH Bobby Dodd Institute Breakfast, 2/20/03 It is very exciting for Georgia Tech to be a part of the Bobby Dodd Industries’ 2003 Breakfast with Champions. We join with you in saluting Tom Graf for his many years of advocacy on behalf of Atlanta’s disabled citizens. And I want to recognize and thank Wes Durham and the Georgia Tech pep band for getting us into the spirit of this special occasion. Georgia Tech and BDI share the legacy of a champion named Bobby Dodd. We called him the “Grey Fox,” and he spent his entire coaching career at Georgia Tech. He was an outstanding mentor to young people because he believed in them. He was quick to praise their accomplishments, and he knew exactly what to say to restore their self-confidence after they’d made a mistake. He wanted each one of his players to be their personal best, whether on the field or in the classroom, and he gave them the help and support they needed to succeed. Bobby Dodd signed on with Georgia Tech as a backfield coach on the day after Christmas in 1930, and in 1945 he became head coach. His 22 years as head coach were the golden era of Georgia Tech football. His 1952 team won the national championship, and between 1952 and 1956 he achieved a national record that still stands today of six consecutive appearances in the most prestigious bowl games of the day, including the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl and the Cotton Bowl.
