Coach Profile: Ron Dugans

Wide receiver coach Ron Dugans looks to take a young group of receivers to the next level at Miami.

Ron Dugans knows what it's like to face adversity, and persevere.

Dugans received devastating news in 2008, when he heard that his 8-year-old daughter, Ronshay Dugans, tragically passed away in an accident. A cement truck driver fell asleep at the wheel, which resulted in a collision with the school bus Ronshay was riding on.

"She would always say, ‘You better be good daddy because God is going to get ya.’ She always told that to everybody, ‘God is going to get you if you’re not acting right,’" Dugans told USF senior writer Tom Zebold.
