Dan Wolken reported earlier this week that several G5 teams had started looking into Houston.
From the outside looking in, you guys may have your next HC with the team now. Is their any rub the fans have with him?
He’s a great recruiter, high intensity coach, good man, and he’s been here for a long time and worked under some of our best coaches. Everyone from players to recruits to boosters love him and #WeWantLunsford is trending in Statesboro. The only drawback is even though we beat two teams with Lunsford, they were two teams with sub .500 records. It would be a huge gamble for TK to make this hire that his job depends on even if it’s what the players want.
To be fair, ULL is staring at less than a .500 result BECAUSE of us. Same with USA.
Check your math. USA was 4 -6 before your game.
4-6 with 2 to play.
They had also beaten Troy and stAte. There was still a shot at 6-6 and a bowl.
So yea, it was an outside shot, but they weren't a guaranteed below .500 team heading into our game.

Quote:STATESBORO, Ga. —
WJCL News is learning more about the search for Georgia Southern University’s next Head Football Coach.
Interim Head Coach Chad Lunsford has an interview with university administrators on Sunday night once the team returns from Louisiana. Lunsford is on a list that includes three or four coaching candidates.
Lunsford took over from Tyson Summers, who was fired in October after the Eagles lost their first six games of the year. Summers was 5-13 in a season and a half at Georgia Southern University.
We’re told Lunsford has a ground swell of support from athletes, alumni and boosters. His candidacy recently picked up steam after he led the Eagles to two decisive wins in a row. In fact, there are some Twitter hashtags being used right now supporting the move, including “#HireChadLunsford” and “#WeWantLunsford.”
In addition, sources tell WJCL News that Brian Bohannon is expected to be interviewed. Bohannon is the Head Football coach at Kennesaw State University and has previously coached at Georgia Southern University under Paul Johnson.
James Madison University Head Coach Mike Houston has withdrawn from consideration. We also know Penn State University Defensive Coordinator Brent Pry has also pulled out of the running to be the Eagles’ next head coach.
No final decision has been made yet, but we expect all of the candidate interviews to be finished in the next two days.
