re: Coach Robichaux has passed away

My guess would be that Bab would be the interim for a year but I don't know.

Everybody always assumed we would call Coach Deggs when Coach Robe stepped down but these are obviously different circumstances. It's harder to move forward in this situation.

No matter who they hire, I'd personally hate to be the person who has to follow Robe. I'd compare it to Smoke Laval replacing Bertman at LSU. Only in the sense that you are replacing a beloved legend. And given that this situation in particular is made even more difficult, because of Robe's sudden death. I hope the next guy is successful, but I wouldn't want to be him. The expectations are going to be an gigantic weight on his shoulders. Because you know, once the season starts, and gets going, the armchair coaches are going to come out saying, well Robe would have done this, that, xyz,etc., better than Deggs or whoever ends up there. And that will be completely unfair.
