Curry recruited some of the '92 team, but Stallings recruited a great deal of the talent as well: Antonio Langham, David Palmer, Jay Barker, Tommy Johnson, James Gregory, John Copeland, Sherman Williams, Chris Donnelly, Michael Rogers, Mario Morris, Willie Gaston, Andre Royal, Sam Shade, Jon Stevenson, Michael Proctor, Chris Anderson, Curtis Brown, Tarrant Lynch.
DL: Copeland and Gregory started
LB: Rogers started with Morris backing him up and starting in his place after the auto accident, Royal was a top LB backup
DB: Langham, Shade and Donnelly started in the secondary with Tommy Johnson being a primary backup and starting 4 games and Willie Gaston playing some.
So, 6 or 7 of the defensive starters were recruited by Stallings, as well as several key backups.
On the OL, as you can imagine, most of the players were older, so only 1 starter was a Stallings' signee: Jon Stevenson.
The WRs were statistically even between Lee and Wimbley and Stallings' signees David Palmer and Curtis Brown, though Palmer was the most important.
The QB was Barker a Stallings signee.
The RBs were Lassic 905/1034, Houston 457/483 and Stallings' signees Chris Anderson 573/916, Sherman Williams 299/?, David Palmer 164/842. So, you can see that Stallings signees were primary offensive weapons.
Also, Michael Procter, All SEC PK was a Stallings signee.
So, actually even much of the talent was signed by Stallings' staff. Of course, even more importantly they imparted a toughness that did not previously exist.
Curry was also disliked because he trashed the Bama fanbase to outsiders - this was conveyed in published reports. He ridiculed its desire for physical football and its inordinate desire for winning. This was unbecoming someone who made his name and took much money from the program. He was also supported by the vast majority of the fanbase. He has even acknowledged that. (IMO, part of ESPN's unfavorable attitude toward Bama has its genesis in Curry's time there after his firing from UK where he posted one of the worst records in program history as he did at GT, his only success being at Bama. I don't know that, it's just an opinion.)
