Dick Tomey passes away

Recommended Posts

Very sad to hear this. I was fortunate enough to speak with Coach Tomey many times during my days of covering San Jose State football for Scout.com. I last spoke with him, with a quick "hello coach", when I unexpectedly saw him standing out in front of his residence building in Santana Row, while I was rushing to dinner. He was always very nice to myself and the members of the press. He had some great sayings, such as referring to Boise State as "the Wicked Witch Of The West", and, when asked what was the key to beating Hawaii when traveling to the islands? "Bring a good team."

I'm very sad to hear that Coach Tomey has passed away. He was a really good guy. I emailed him when he was working at South Florida to congratulate him on a great career and he sent me the nicest response. I'll never forget the 2006 New Mexico Bowl. It was the first bowl game I went to and Coach Tomey and crew got the win over the Lobos. 

Rest in peace Coach. God bless your family and friends. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Tomey

It only fitting that Arizona and Hawaii play in the season opener on the rock this year. RIP coach Tomey!
