| Bill Curry has spent his entire adult life as a leader and communicator. His NFL career included two Super Bowl titles and a stint as the President of the NFL Players Association. Bill served as head football coach for Georgia Tech (’80-’86), the University of Alabama (’87-’89), and the University of Kentucky (’90-’96). In 1989, Bill was recognized as the nation’s top coach with the Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year Award. Since 1997, Bill has come into millions of homes each football Saturday as an analyst for ESPN. Combining self-deprecating humor, riveting tales from his playing days, and fiery, straight-from-the-heart passion, Bill has quickly become one of the most sought-after speakers in the country. On September 20, 2006, the American Football Coaches Association announced Bill as the recipient of the 2007 Amos Alonzo Stagg Award in honor of his outstanding service toward the advancement of the best interests of football. |
