I didn’t realize the Texans’ coach went to Vanderbilt

Post by Golddore68 »

Watching the Tennessee Titans’ debacle today, they said on TV that the Houston Texans’ coach David Culley was from Sparta, Tennessee and that he went to Vanderbilt.

I don’t remember him playing at Vanderbilt.

Congratulations on the big win, Coach Culley!

Also former Vanderbilt star Zach Cunningham had a good game.

Recruited by Sloan and was there in the early to mid 70s.

According to Football Reference he played at VU 1975/76/77 but didn't play very much. May have been recruited by Sloan but played for Pancoast. Third string QB in 1975, 1976, co-second string in 1977.

He was memorable for an absolutely huge Afro. Wish I could find a picture. Maybe some one else can. As already posted, he played very little.

He was a graduate assistant or volunteer coach for George Mac at least one year in the early 80's.
