vol. XX no. 2 Page 1 2 Bill Curry: Currying Support for Panther Football… and the Robinson College New Georgia State head football coach Bill Curry will speak to the Robinson College Board of Advisors this fall at its semi-annual meeting. It will be Curry’s first appearance before a Robinson group, but far from his last. Curry, whose team will debut at the Georgia Dome in 2010, has been named Distinguished Executive Fellow for the college, and as such will lecture in the Executive Education program and speak on the many principles of leadership that he has espoused both as a speaker and an author. He will also make other appearances at college events throughout the year. Curry played at Georgia Tech, where he graduated in 1965 with a degree in industrial management. He played in the NFL from 1965–74. He was a starting center in two Super Bowls: for Green Bay in 1967 and for Baltimore in 1971. Curry spent 17 years as a head coach in college, starting with Georgia Tech from 1980–86, where he was ACC Coach of the Year in 1985 after a 9-2-1 season. Curry was 26-10 during his three-year stint at Alabama (1987–89), won the SEC championship in 1989 and was named National Coach of the Year in 1989. He was head coach at Kentucky from 1990–96. Curry’s most recent book, Ten Men You Meet in the Huddle: Lessons from a Football Life, was released this summer and is available at book stores and on-line. Previous Page | Top
