MsTechAnalysis.....It is my opinion that the only reason Bill Curry was able to stick around to get that shot at the Alabama job was due primarily to Coach Bobby Dodd's influence on all whith whom he came in contact.(I am still not over a Tech Man doing what he did, but that is another subject) I really think Curry would have been sent packing were it not for Coach Dodd. No judgment here, just opinion and my impressions as I remember them. The greatest move that Bill Curry made IMO was when he hired Coach Lindsey. I think if Lindsey had not come in and done all he did that even Coach Dodd could not have protected Bill.
