1894 University of Georgia football team roster
This roster shows the players, managers, and captain of the 1894 University of Georgia football team. At this time coaches served more as trainers of the team rather than as coaches in the modern sense of that term, therefore they were not always listed in rosters alongside the players on the team.

1896 University of Georgia football team
This team, under the leadership of Glenn ‘Pop’ Warner (on the left of this photo wearing a sweater with the letter ‘C’), was Georgia’s first (and one of only three) undefeated season, with a record of 4-0. ‘Pop’ Warner was paid $40 per week to coach the team; this was his second and last season with Georgia. ‘Pop’ Warner was the first Georgia coach to last for more than one season and would go on to have a long and hugely influential career as a coach that lasted until 1938, developing the three-point stance and being among the first coaches to have his team huddle before plays. He was instrumental in advocating for more and improved padding and protective gear for players

1907 University of Georgia football team
The 1907 University of Georgia football team compiled a 4-3-1 and was coached by W.S. 'Bull' Whitney. The use of 'ringers' (paid semi-professional football players) in latter part of the season marred this team's reputation; 'Bull' Whitney was asked to leave the team, though he denied any wrong-doing. (It should be noted that Georgia Tech was also suspected of having used ringers during this season.) The 1907 team, under the leadership of Branch Bocock (who would coach the 1908 Georgia team), would close the season with a 6-0 victory over archrival Auburn.
This photograph shows team captain R. Kyle Smith posing with the game ball from the Auburn game.

1909 University of Georgia Football Team
Arguably the worst team in fielded by the University during this era, the 1909 team managed a record of only 1-4-2 under the leadership of coach James Coulter, a Brown University graduate with no prior coaching experience. During the season, Frank Dobson, a long-time assistant to legendary Georgia Tech coach John Heisman, was hired to assist Coulter, but became, in effect, the co-head coach.
