INDIA PARK – On Thursday, the Indianapolis Colts’ first-ever head coach passed away.
At the age of 88, Frank Kush, the Colts’ 1982–84 coach, passed away.
Jim Irsay, the owner and CEO of the Colts, said in a team statement, “Frank was as old-school as they get, a true ‘General Patton’ of the gridiron.” “Although his legendary collegiate success did not transfer to pro ball and his time with the Colts was brief, Frank Kush was one of our game’s most colorful personalities and he will be missed.”
On December 21, 1981, Kush was hired by the Colts, taking Mike McCormack’s place.
In 1982, Kush’s first season as head coach was limited to nine games due to a players’ strike.
During his three seasons leading the Colts, Kush’s record was 11-28-1.
Kush holds a membership in the Hall of Fame for College Football. During his tenure as head coach at Arizona State from 1958 to 1979, Kush compiled a record of 176-51-1 while in college.
Peace be with you, Frank Kush.
