WE LOVE YOU CURLEY!!
Was a bumper sticker all over Baton Rouge.
.
As terrible as he turned out to be , on paper he was a good hire at the time . Giant killer from southern miss, we were all as stoked as bama “was” with their new boss.

Forever grateful. I scored 50 yard line seats because of him

I got box seats my entire JR and SR year of HS because of him. Thanks to Curly, I got laid often due to these seats.

Hahaha - unfortunately, I was in attendance for that game until the very end as well. Further to the misery of that game, My dad and I drove 8 hrs each way (lived for a year in Chattanooga, TN)

I blame Brett Favre for making him look like a decent coach.
The main reason I never liked Farve.

Nick Saban rocked the beltless khakis at LSU too. It’s a style of pants without belt loops.

Always wondered who that other guy was.
That was a loooooong fricking game.

'88-'95 for me (undergrad & law school). Got an 8-4 SEC Championship season as a freshman, then never saw another winning season. Dark, dark days.

the Pigs gashed the Tiger D for 400+ rushing yards, all on the same dive play IIRC.
They called it the triple option. I waited all day to see what options 2 & 3 were.

Sansabelts!
The bumper stickers I recall were "Crazy Bout Curley."
They quickly came to take on a perfect double entendre meaning.

That's the ones I remember. My brother (and others) cut one up to say "Curley Bout Crazy".

Without Curley there would have been no Dinardo. Without Dinardo there would have been no Saban.
Without Saban we may not have won any of the 3 championships.
That’s all I’ve got for Curley.
without Curley, Skip never gets the massive fan support for baseball.
You had fans desperate to tailgate, and a terrible football program. And suddenly the "minor" sport of baseball was about the only option to do that.

Curley had that affect on LSU fans after a few years.
TGBFTL was told to stop playing The Curley Shuffle my freshman year because it went from being seen as funny to making fun of the coach. I mean, we all were, but you know it’s bad when the Athletic Dept is having to tell the band to not play something anymore because of how obvious it is.
And we all got another taste of that a few years ago for different reasons

Was also there to pretty much the end then had the pleasure the next week of watching in person the 5-0 Saints team get totally destroyed by Steelers at 3 Rivers so bad they never recovered for years. I was sporting a new authentic Eric Martin # 84 jersey that my friends declared would burn if ever saw it again!

I left when it was 51-3 with just a few minutes left. Heard the Florida crowd go nuts as I was walking away from the stadium and knew they had scored again.

Spurrier used to boat race Curley's teams.
Not completely true, but close enough…
1991: Florida won 16-0 (Tiger Stadium) and LSU dropped a wide open TD with a few other opportunities.
1992: Florida won 27-21 (Gainsville) and LSU had the ball in Gator territory when the game ended.
1993 and 1994 were indescribable skull f*ckings.
So, his 1st two games against Spurrier were respectable to be fair. With that said, Hudson Curley Hallman was the worst hire in LSU history. I’m talking from janitor up to president.

quote:this is a prime example of hiring the "hot" coach who had a couple good years but no proof of long-term sustained success.
AD who made that hire must have been a plant by Alabama.
With Curley at Southern Miss, the reason was Brett Favre.
I'm convinced Kalen DeBoer will fail badly at Bama, and was the "hot" coach only because of Michael Penix at UW.
Now yes, I realize a long-time successful coach is probably locked in at their school and hard to pry away, so ADs have to look toward younger coaches with only a couple good years under their belt. But that's risky.

Hallman was the DB coach there in 02 and 03 and the guy had gotten to know him when he lived in Starkville. He said Hallman went to the same bar/restaurant he did often and always sat alone. He went up and introduced himself one evening and Hallman told him to pull up a chair.
Prior to that he was DB coach at Alabama, when I was in grad school there. I saw him in a bar and talked to him. Can confirm he is a very nice guy. He blamed his lack of success at LSU on the really hard schedule. Which is somewhat true, but the dude also lost to Colorado St and Southern Miss in Death Valley. Brett Favre is the entire reason he was hired at LSU.
