[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 216377, member: 630"] You were doing fine until you got to Pepper and Curry. The program was in awful shape in 1975 (thanks, AD Dodd). Pepper was successful at UCLA, and hiring him to GT appeared to be a coup. The criticism of Curry among GT folks is wrong, and wrong. GT had the worst facilities in 1-A (thanks, AD Dodd) and was literally recruiting at a 1-AA level in 1979. Susan Phinney was the de facto recruiting coordinator and an Auburn grad. She got tips from Auburn about recruits they didn't want. In 1980, Curry took a job no one wanted. Spurrier wasn't at Duke. His entire experience was as Pepper's QB coach. Very much hindsight to say he should have been hired. Curry took over a very miserable situation in 1980, and by 1985 won the All America Bowl and came up one game short of the Bluebonnet bowl in 1986, There weren't as many bowls in those days, and bowls meant something. Curry's turn around of GT, both athletically and character-wise (with help from Homer), is why he was chosen at Alabama in 1980 by a President trying to upgrade Bama's image. I agree with the point of the thread--GT on the resume should not mean anything. Clough was a GT grad, and his hiring of Braine is what started this mess. [/QUOTE]
