Good man. Hope he remains around the program. A true legend. Very sad when they move on.

Perfect, SU lax is a unique institution, and it’s being handed over to one of its own.

In before Powellfan...

One of the Giants of the Game is leaving. It was odd not to see Coach Simmons on the SU sideline and took a while to get used to it and it will be just as odd not to see Coach Desko there and will also take a while to get used to it.

Johns statement makes it obvious that this was all going to take place later this week but the leaks hastened things.

Regardless of how this was done (or how the PR side might've been mishandled)...

There was no doubt John Desko would handle this situation with supreme class and dignity.

To me that says almost as much about his dedication to the institution as his 40+ years of success.

Nice words from Jackson Birtwistle's mom. Good to see from the family of a young guy who we redshirted.
