LAURINBURG – In an end to a challenging chapter for St. Andrews football, Head Coach Bob Curtin has stepped down after three seasons at the helm, leaving behind a legacy that transcends the win-loss column.
Curtin, a decorated military veteran turned coach, brought a unique blend of leadership and discipline to the Knights' program. His arrival in 2022 came with high expectations, following an successful prep coaching career. However, the transition to collegiate football proved challenging, with the program securing just one victory during his tenure – a memorable 27-26 triumph over Union Commonwealth in October 2022.
"While the team faced hurdles in terms of wins, Curtin's leadership brought notable changes and established a foundation for future growth," stated the athletics department announcement. His approach to player development drew from a diverse coaching background that included roles in football, wrestling, basketball, and soccer at various levels.
As St. Andrews begins its search for a new head coach, Curtin's departure marks the end of an era that, while challenging in terms of victory counts, laid groundwork for the program's future development. The Knights' athletics department has indicated that updates regarding the coaching staff will be announced in the coming weeks.
