After legendary former Arizona State University football coach Frank Kush died on Thursday, many ASU alumni, staff and more took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Kush is the namesake of Sun Devil Stadium’s Frank Kush Field after the coach posted a record of 176-54-1 from 1958 to 1979. He also briefly coached the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995.

His influence on the Sun Devils program and his legacy on college football in the Valley were impactful to many, leading to a big reaction when the news broke Thursday that he had passed away:
