RIP Frank Kush
Kush was the most successful coach in Arizona State history. He took over the program in 1955 after then head coach Dan Devine left to take the same job at Missouri. Kush would win 176 games over 22 seasons with the Sun Devils, overseeing the program as it migrated from the Border Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Western Athletic Conference, and then finally to the Pac-10 in 1978. During his time, he won nine conference titles, including undefeated seasons in 1970 and '75. Kush's Sun Devils teams played in five Fiesta Bowls, winning four of them.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Frank Kush, the fearsome coach who transformed Arizona State from a backwater football program into a powerhouse, has died. He was 88.
Arizona State confirmed the death on Thursday.
"Coach Kush built ASU into a national football power," ASU President Michael M. Crow said in a statement. "He taught us how to make football work, and he put ASU on the map long before it was a full-scale university. Throughout his life he maintained his strong connection to ASU, working with coaches and devoting time to the football program.
"By growing ASU football he helped us build the whole university into what it is today. He will be sorely missed."
RIP Frank Kush
