One of the many coaching staff moves made by the New Orleans Saints this offseason was expanding quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry’s responsibilities with the title of passing game coordinator. Curry has been on the Saints coaching staff since 2016 where he started as an offensive assistant working with wide receivers. Every year since, he’s moved to a new role on an upward trajectory that looks to be priming him to step into an offensive coordinator position in the next few years.
Before Curry began his ascension through coaching ranks (first with the San Francisco 49ers in 2015) he was a two-sport star athlete of legend for the UNC Tar Heels. He was a dual-threat quarterback who passed for 4,987 yards while rushing for 1,249. He also added 41 career combined touchdowns with 35 interceptions and a 113.1 career passer rating. This was all while undergoing several coaching changes including three offensive coordinators. He set records for most career passing yards and total yards and was named MVP of the 1998 Las Vegas Bowl and later the 2001 Peach Bowl.
