When you lose your first coach, it hits you very deeply. Bob was a wonderful man and great teacher. He certainly gave his love of football to a lot of young men. I took what he gave me a shared it with many young men playing high school football. Nobody really likes to practice, but we did with Coach Bob. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Baucom family. This man will not be forgotten.
