  • Tempe Oral History Project
    Tempe Oral History Project Narrator: FRANK KUSH Interviewer: MARK PRY Date of Interview: July 11, 1995 Interview Number: OH - 153 Frank Kush was born in Pennsylvania. He was an All-American football player at Michigan State. In 1955, he came to Arizona State College to be an assistant football coach under head coach Dan Devine. In 1958 he became the head football coach. He quickly developed a winning football team, and built Arizona State's reputation as a major national contender in collegiate football. He was involved in the creation of the Western Athletic Conference in 1962, and was primarily responsible for bringing ASU into the PAC-10 Conference in 1978. He was fired in 1979 due to controversies over student athletes' receiving unearned class credits, and an incident in which he allegedly hit the helmet of an ASU team member. In this interview he talks about the ASU-UA rivalry, the Sun Angels Foundation, gaining national recognition for the ASU football team and individual athletes, ASU's entry into PAC-10 Conference, his personal coaching philosophy and reputation as a disciplinarian, events surrounding his dismissal as head coach in 1979, and his career since leaving ASU. This is the second of two interviews. See also the transcript for the first interview, OH-151.
