Georgia Bulldogs football under E. E. Jones

E.E. Jones was a graduate of Princeton who came to the University of Georgia to become the seventh head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs football team in 1900. Jones only served as the head coach of the team for one year. Jones was the first of two head coaches to come to Georgia from Princeton. Only three outside schools have provided Georgia with more than one head coach in football: Princeton - Jones and Billy Reynolds; Cornell - Pop Warner and Gordon Saussy; and Brown University - Charles McCarthy, James Coulter and Frank Dobson.

BowlTourneyResult=The 1900 Georgia Bulldogs football team completed the season with a 2-4-0 record, no improvement at all over the previous year's mark under coach Gordon Saussy (2-3-1). Although the season started well with back-to-back victories, including Georgia's fourth straight victory over cfb link|year=1900|team=Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets|school=Georgia Institute of Technology|title=Georgia Tech, it ended with four consecutive losses. In fact, Georgia was outscored 99-0 in the last two games of the season at the hands of North Carolina and Auburn.

Matters were not helped by the fact that Georgia only had three starting players return to the team from the 1899 team. One of the star players on the 1900 team was a young man who weighed only 110 pounds, but made up for his lack of size with skill, speed, agility and leadership skills. A notable player from the 1900 season was center Harold Hirsch. Hirsch would play for Georgia during the 1900 and 1901 seasons and would then go on to become an influential attorney. In 1932, the University of Georgia School of Law moved into a building called the Harold Hirsch Law Building, named for this former Georgia football player.
