    Good for Gus! He's a great hire for San Bernardino and I hope he's successful there. He continues the tradition of former Aggies in many sports continuing their careers as excellent coaches.

    A top-rated DI assistant, he struggled as HC at Cal State East Bay. Alums speak highly of him.

    This reminds me of all the great football coaches who played for Jim Sochor. I don't think I should list them all here, but if someone (not me) has a comprehensive list, it would be a great post on the football discussion site.
