Remembering legendary football coach Dick Tomey

Legendary college football coach Dick Tomey died Friday night after a battle with lung cancer. He was 80.

Tomey coached the Arizona Wildcats from 1987 to 2000, leading them to a 95-64-4 record including a 60-49-4 mark in Pac-10 play. Both his overall and conference victories are tops in program history.

But that is dwarfed by the impact he had on the lives of others. Below are some of the best quotes and stories about Tomey from social media. I also suggest you check out this column in the Arizona Daily Star.
