The Robert Darrow Curry Coach of the Year Award is given annually to a member of the Lycoming College coaching staff. The award was established in memory of Robert (Robby) D. Curry ’05, who was the son of Susan and Robert Curry ’69. Susan was an educator in the Williamsport area for more than 33 years and Robb was Lycoming’s football recruiting coordinator and associate athletic director for Frank Girardi for 36 years. Robby was also the brother of Jessica Curry ’01.
Robby earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Lycoming and was a brother of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Lycoming football was a way of life for him. As a youngster, Robby was a student manager/water boy for the Warriors. In high school, he served on the “chain crew” at home games. There was never a question in his mind about attending Lycoming and playing football for the Warriors. Robby achieved that goal as a freshman. During his final three years at Lycoming, Robby was the program’s head videographer at all games.
The fund was created as a monetary award to be given annually. All head coaches, full-time and part-time, are eligible for consideration for this award. Based on performance during the academic year, criteria include a winning record, both overall and in the conference, and whether the coach achieved the recruiting and roster goals for the year.
