    Georgia State football coach Bill Curry announced Wednesday he will retire after the 2012 season.

    Curry, 69, also has coached at Georgia Tech, Alabama and Kentucky. His time spent at Georgia State was unique. He was hired in 2008 to start the program and led the Panthers to a 6-5 record in their inaugural 2010 season.

    "The opportunity to start a football program at a university that I love, in my hometown, and the privilege to coach these young men has been one of the highlights of my career," Curry said. "This has been a labor of love, but after this season, it will be the right time to step away from coaching. I am blessed with good health, but I am ready to move on to other things in my life and devote more time to my wife, Carolyn, and our children and grandchildren."

    Georgia State finished 3-8 in 2011, leaving Curry 9-13 in two seasons.
