"I think Furman has made a excellent choice in selecting Bobby Lamb as its new head coach. I'm sure the decision wasn't easy because there were several outstanding candidates, all of whom have the qualities a school looks for in a head coach, so Bobby's selection is a true reflection of the high regard people hold for him. He is an extremely bright coach who can rally the support of the Furman people and command the respect of the players."

"I always thought Bobby had what it takes to be a head coach and that his time would come. Furman has made a great choice. He's worked hard and has done an outstanding job over the years. I couldn't be more excited for him. I'm also happy that Furman is promoting from within. That has been a big key to the program's success, and I'm confident it will continue under Bobby's guidance."

"I'm so proud of Bobby and happy for him. In my opinion, he has the knowledge, character, and leadership qualities to be an outstanding head coach. I think his father, Ray Lamb, one of the the best high school coaches in Georgia, has been a wonderful influence on him. As a head coach Bobby will commit himself to the same principles that he represented so well as a player and as an assistant, and he is a winner."
