Former University of Georgia National Alumni Association President Dick Yarbrough says yes:

I am a longtime season-ticket holder at Sanford Stadium and was attending games there when Georgia was getting beaten like a drum by anybody and everybody. That all changed when Vince Dooley arrived. You remember Vince Dooley, don't you? He is the Hall of Fame coach for whom the field at Sanford Stadium should be named as has been done with other legendary coaches at most major college venues around the country.

Why influential lettermen whose lives were forever changed for the better by this good man don't make this a priority while their coach is still around to enjoy it is a mystery to me. Maybe they will tell me. So far, I haven't been able to get my phone calls returned, seeking an answer. And don't tell me it can't be done. It can.

Fwiw, journalist Tim Garnder in 2014 proposed renaming Sanford Stadium "Dooley-Sanford Stadium". IMO, I'd rather the field be named after Dooley while retaining Sanford Stadium in honor of former UGA English Instructor, Professor, Dean, President, and Chancellor Dr. Steadman Vincent Sanford.
