Sun Devil Athletics mourns the death of former Assistant Football Coach and Athletic Director Dick Tamburo, who passed away on Monday.
Tamburo served as ASU's Athletic Director from 1980 until 1985. He laid the groundwork for Sun Devil Athletics programs by bringing on influential administrators like Joe McDonald, who passed in November 2019. Under his leadership, the Sun Devils brought home the 1981 NCAA Baseball Championship and seventeen National Championships overall.
For his significant contribution to the game, Tamburo was a recipient of the Frank Kush Lifetime Achievement Coaching Award from the Valley of the Sun Chapter of the National Football Foundation.
