Bobby Ross was 39-19 at MD. Curley Byrd was 119-82.


Bobby Ross had a good run there when the ACC was really small. Then he had a good run at Georgia Tech.

Curley Byrd is like the Knute Rockne of Maryland. He played football at Maryland, was the football head coach at Maryland, was the AD at Maryland, and was the President of Maryland. He presided over a major expansion of the school in the 1930s, built the current football stadium, Cole Field House, and the Maryland Golf Course. He moved Maryland into the ACC.

Lately though Dr. Wallace Loh is running a campaign to rewrite Curley Byrd out of Maryland's history because of differing political views around segregation which aren't really applicable in modern times since there is no segregation today. Byrd died in 1970. I'm not a fan of people in 2017 with big egos trying to bash people from 1950 that are not here to defend themselves. But it's happening at Maryland.
