Coaching Career
Dickinson became the second Georgia football coach to have attended the University of Georgia when he was hired to coach the 1903 season. He was away from Athens in the fall of 1904 while playing in the Texas League, but he returned to coach Georgia football again in 1905. Dickinson was not able to achieve much success as the head coach of Georgia and only managed a 4–9 record over the course of his two years at Georgia.
Dickinson also served as the baseball coach in 1901. In 1902 and 1903, the team was coached by William A. Reynolds, who was also the head coach of the football team. When Reynolds left after the 1902 football season and the 1903 baseball season, Dickinson resumed his role as baseball coach for the 1904 and 1905 seasons. There is no information available on the 1901 season, but Dickinson had a coaching record of 18–14 in his last two seasons as baseball coach.
After he left coaching, Dickinson went into the newspaper business. He died in 1950.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
