[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 194108, member: 435"] Either Rice hired Curry, or Dodd, did, since they were both hired in 1980. I guess Dodd probably did. You may choose to like Curry, but I think he was terrible coach, and I was glad that Bama was stupid enough to hire him. "Homer Rice is the most important figure in GT history"??? I disagree there. Yes, he did some great things while at Tech; I will not argue that. With him, I guess it's just a matter of differing opinions. I am not alone in disliking him, but you DO make some valid points. Someone, either you or upstateJacket, seemed at least to imply that Kim King was a disaster for Tech. I had not ever been of that opinion, and I wanted to know why he was included in what I perceived to be a slam on him. You are right, though; he did have considerable clout at Tech, and I am glad he did. There have been other former Tech players who made it big in life, who have, regardless of motivation, not served us so well. As far as my age, I am not happy in saying that I am probably older than you. I have been around Tech, both as student and alum for a LONG LONG time. Totally agree about Clough and Braine, but I would add DRad to that list. Yes, he raised a lot of money, but he also ignored the fans and alums and, at least in my opinion, threw Johnson under the bus on the NCAA investigation. I agree that O'Leary produced some great teams and talent; I would never argue that point. If he hadn't been greedy and felt the call of Notre Dame, he would have probably stayed at Tech (successfully) until he retired, false resume or no false resume. I didn't, however, care much for the way he often treated some of his players. Joe Burns comes immediately to mind, although I have heard that Joe Burns, to this day, loves the man. [/QUOTE]
