Yeah I know. Still I am glad he won't call any more Bama games for ESPN.

Let's just hope they don't let him hire his own assistants, or they'll be doomed before they even get started... he's done a fine job of proving he's not very good at it.:ph34r: Bama made a good decision to take away his power to hire and fire them when he was there.

"Curry let Steve Spurrier go when he cleared out Pepper Rodgers’ staff out and tossed the budding young genius-baby out with the bathwater. Failing to recognize the obvious radiant halo of football god-dom around him, Curry set the stage for a seven year vengeance play coordinated by the hands of the most vengeful playcaller this side of Genghis Khan.

The ‘93 game (UF vs. UK) was an outlier compared to the rest of Bill Curry’s extremely long and painful lesson in exactly why he should not have tossed Spurrier to the wind at Tech: promising his coaching staff he would “never call the dogs off” against Curry, Spurrier won every game he coached against Curry by an average score of 46-13, including a pair of epic 65-0 and 73-7 games that still burn in our memory as the biggest asswhippings we’ve seen. Toddlers getting pistol-whipped by crack dealers had a fairer fight on their hands than those teams." EDSBS archives

Curry set back UK football 10 years. UK football was already back 20 years when he took over.

Probably right. It couldn't have been too easy to recruit kids to the school after the prospects watched them get hammered like that every year... and it was already difficult to get kids there (for football, anyway).

Well, (not name dropping) I played against Shaun Alexander in H.S. and kinda knew him through FCA functions and what not. Bill Curry did not recruit him.

It was funny watching Curry run the option while Tim Couch was at UK.

Curry is not that bad of a coach. He'll be good for this newbie in Atlanta, but the recruiting is going to be very tough.

For some reason I have a strange urge to throw a brick.

Too bad he didn't come back to the SEC... he could've taken some of the short-bus flak away from Les.
