The man is an Aggie and college basketball legend and we have been lucky to have him represent us here for all these years.

I'd expect Kelly Bond-White to be our head coach next year and I'd be very excited about that. She has been patiently waiting for this opportunity, is prepared, and will do a fantastic job leading us.

We need to pack Reed every home game! Coach Blair deserves it! Let's make this a season to remember!

It makes me wonder if we had made final 4 last year would he have hung them up then? He truly won me over at GIS introductory press conference years ago.

Gary is a great leader and coach for A&M, as well as a great ambassador for Texas A&M.

Hope he has a great final season.

Thank you Coach Blair for all you have done for Texas A&M University!

Better off the court than on the court....and he's a Hall of Fame Coach. The search for his replacement starts and ends with Vic Schaefer. Time to come home Vic. Momma's calling.

If Texas can get Beard then we should try and get Vic back here. This is a no brainer. Please Ross don't mess this up.
NATTY OR BUST. BUST IT IS.

GIVE ME NATTY, OR GIVE ME BAS!!!

This is what I will remember most about him

He always had time for the kids, no matter where he was

This dude was just absolutely awesome! He was the most interactive coach I think you could ever hope for. Always out and about just talking to random people. Good dude. Really good dude.

I hope he did ruin getting Vic Schaefer back here after he retires. Vic ran the program when he was here. The Ags have not been the same since he left

You would think that the search begins and ends with Vic.

Any interest can't be made public. If Vic says no it would hinder Blair's successor in recruiting.

Who runs the program now? Who ran it last year when we were 25-3 and SEC champs and #2 in the nation in March?

Some of you all are sad. Today and this entire season we're gonna celebrate the legend Gary Blair... take your complaints about him and go cry elsewhere!

Kelly is the future of the program. We can't let her get away. Plus, she has integrity.

My post was meant as a compliment of Vic and not a criticism of Coach Blair. The program has done great in the 10 years since Vic left, but it has not reached the same highs as when he was here, and that's just a fact.

GB is one of my all time favorite Aggie coaches. Represented A&M with class and integrity. Kelly will do the same, and she is the future

He's going to be a hard coach to replace. Not just a great coach, but a great man too.

He is the absolute model for an A&M coach: great man, loves the school and conducts himself with integrity. He also is a great coach. Hats off for Coach Blair!
