I feel for this program. In 2002, i was a track athlete when Coach Charles Lancon passed away. Difference is we lost that gem of a human mid season. So tough to comprehend at that time.
I never met Robe but ill say that the way many you, the media, and past players have talked about him has really made me look at how i coach my STM track athletes. Im not doing enough. I just aint. But im a better coach today than yesterday. And that focus on self improvement goes up and down the athletic totem pole. That is what ill take from a man i never met.
As far as Deggs, could we have found better? Personally, hell no. This guy was built in part by Robe for this reason. I truly believe this. He was God built and heaven sent. That goes beyond wins and loses. Deggs is the iron we need to sharpen our iron, vice versa. And i can only hope he keeps Babs and others. They deserve to stand with us all. And need to be celebrated just as much. As a HC, im telling you, im nothing without assistants. Nothing.
God bless you all.

Y’all are being overly sensitive. I’m sure he meant that Tony retire and move into the athletic department and Matt Deggs take over.
Sorry,guys. I didn't mean that to come out the way it sounded. I will ALWAYS miss Coach Robe and I pray for his family. My apologies to all of you. I never wanted Coach Deggs to replace Coach Robe!
