I have no idea how many times.
However, he might have been giving Vince Lombardi or Don Shula a ride on his shoulders.

3 times.
Once with Bart Starr.
Once with Johnny Unitas.
Once with tom Matte rambling into the end zone against the Browns , 1969. Oh and in this cover Coach Curry is holding Walter Johnson.
About Bill Curry: He learned from the best. He is a graduate of Georgia Tech, where he played under the legendary Bobby Dodd. He played under two Hall-of-Fame NFL coaches, Vince Lombardi and Don Shula.
He snapped the ball to two different Hall-of-Fame quarterbacks and snapped in two of the first three Super Bowls. He played a total of 10 seasons in the NFL, for four different teams.
"He's the best center I've ever coached," said Baltimore Colts' offensive line coach, Lou Rymkus, in 1970. "I saw him in the film belt Dick Butkus twice and each time he really hit him, drove him back. Anyone who can do that has to be great.
Someone else must have thought so, too, because he was an all-pro center in 1971 and 1972 with the Baltimore Colts.
He was named ACC Coach of the Year in 1985, SEC Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1989 and the Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year in 1989.

And let's not forget he learned what a good Athletic Director can do from Homer Rice, who brought GT sports back from near-oblivion.
