PAULSON STADIUM


PAULSON STADIUM

Allen E. Paulson Stadium was dedicated on Sept. 29, 1984 with a 48-11 rout of Liberty Baptist. The game was a fitting end to four years of planning and hard work – four years of dream-ing of one of the finest football facilities in America. The phrase “The Prettiest Little Stadium in America” was coined by former head coach Erk Russell. Constructed at a cost of $4.7 million, Paulson Stadium currently seats 18,000 spectators while permanent light fixtures were added prior to the 1994 season. The stadium features a prescription athletic turf playing field, special climate controlled VIP boxes with spacious interiors, private restrooms and food service areas. Prior to the start of the 2005 season, a brick façade was built along the walls of Paulson Stadium while the video scoreboard was also surrounded with a brick garden/façade. Paulson Stadium reflects and enhances the growing importance of Georgia Southern University and Southeast Georgia, an importance symbolized by the area’s economic and educational impact on the state and nation. The stadium is named for the late Allen E. Paulson, who donated more than $1 million toward construction of the facility. In 2007 Georgia Southern University renamed the area surrounding Paulson Stadium as ‘Erk Russell Athletic Park.’

GENE BISHOP FIELD HOUSE

Thanks to the generous contribution from the late Gene Bishop, Georgia Southern University finished construction on the Bishop Field House at Paulson Stadium prior to the start of the 2006 football season. Bishop passed away in March of 2011 but left behind a legacy at Georgia Southern. The former Athletic Foundation Chairman of the

Dr. Gene Bishop addressed the Eagle fans gath-ered for the dedication of the Gene Bishop Field House in September 2006.

Board was a part of Eagle Nation for more than 20 years and his loyalty to the University and athletics department provided for two showcase landmarks on campus - the Gene Bishop Field House and the Eugene M. Bishop Alumni Center. Construction of the Gene Bishop Field House took place in the west endzone of Paulson Stadium. The Field House measures 13,600 total square feet and includes: locker rooms, meeting and hospitality space. The home locker room can accommodate 90 players while the visitor locker room has space for 75 players. Around 400 members socialize in the Field House prior to home football games. The Field House can hold any type of meetings, socials or luncheons – including recent Georgia Southern Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. On December 7, 2009, members of the media and fans filled the Bishop Field House as Director of Athletics Sam Baker introduced Jeff Monken as Georgia Southern’s football coach. The building also houses the Athletics Hall of Fame display. With his generous contribution, Bishop now holds the distinction as the single largest contributor to the Georgia Southern Athletics Department and is one of the largest contributors to the University. The Eugene M. Bishop Alumni Center opened summer of 2009 on Akins Boulevard,

just a short distance from Erk Russell Athletic Park and the epicenter of gameday Saturdays. In 2003 the Southern Conference began the Distinguished Service Award program to recognize individuals who have made a great impact on their respective conference institution. Dr. Bishop was the first from Georgia Southern to receive the award. “Gene Bishop made great contributions to the success of Georgia Southern University and the Department of Athletics, both financially and through his leadership as the Athletic Foundation’s Chairman of the Board. He truly loved Georgia Southern,” said Sam Baker, Director of Athletics. “This Field House will stand as a great tribute to Gene Bishop, symbolizing his much appreciated friendship with the University and Athletics Department. The Field House certainly enhances Paulson Stadium.” Those interested in being part of the game-day festivities inside Bishop Field House can contact the Athletic Foundation at (912) 478-5520 for more information.

The Dan J. Parrish, Sr. Football Center, completed in November 2000, was among the first new facilities on a list of impressive additions for Georgia Southern Athletics.

Rendering of new Biological Sciences Building to open spring 2013




As the largest and most comprehensive research institution in southeast Georgia, Georgia Southern University continues to set the bar for academic excellence. During the past decade, Georgia Southern has shown growth in size and scope that has led to recognition by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top 10 most popular universities in the nation.

Georgia Southern continues to be one of the top choices in the state for new freshmen and HOPE scholars, with a record enroll-ment of more than 20,000 students, celebrating a diverse popula-tion from 49 U.S. states and more than 100 nations from around the world. The University offers more than 120 degree programs at the baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral levels through eight colleges, as well as a variety of online classes in business, education, liberal arts, science, information technology and healthcare, including an array of advanced degree programs.

Without a doubt, Georgia Southern boasts one of the most picturesque and iconic college campuses in the country. Among the magnolias and classic Southern red brick buildings, you will find relaxing parks, lakes and the Pedestrium, a walkway that stretches through the heart of the more than 900-acre campus. During the past decade, almost $300 million in construction and renovation projects have been completed, including state-of-the-art classroom and recreation facilities and a number of modern apartment-style residence halls like the upscale housing at Centennial Place, which includes Cold Stone Creamery, Einstein Bros. Bagel restaurant and more. The University recently celebrated the groundbreaking of a new $41millionBiologicalSciences Building that will open in spring 2013.

As a Carnegie Doctoral-Research University, Georgia South-ern’s hallmarks focus on teaching, an increasing emphasis on research and a student-centered approach that give the Univer-sity the feel of a much smaller private college. Students are at the center of everything Georgia Southern does, and the University has created an environment where students can thrive, learn, and

prepare for their future. From the moment students step on campus, they are imme-

diately challenged by the academic curriculum, while also having the opportunity to take part in an incredible amount of activities that rival larger universities. The University Honors Program attracts high-achieving students and the Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement encourages students to make leadership a part of their college resumes. Students are engaged in community volunteerism, campus theatre productions, academic organizations and recreational athletics, just to name a few of the opportunities offered in this well-rounded collegiate atmosphere.

The University has received recent national recognition from Forbes Magazine and The Princeton Review, setting Georgia Southern apart from its peers. Georgia Southern has once again been recognized as one of America’s Best Colleges and one of the

“Best 301 Business Schools” in the nation. The University’s busi-ness and nursing programs have also been recognized among 2012’s Best Graduate Schools by U.S. News and World Report. Additionally, Georgia Southern has been recognized as one of Forbes’ top universities in the nation for minority science, tech-nology, engineering and math (STEM).

Georgia Southern continues to focus on its future as a national comprehensive institution and is adding new degree programs that are attracting interest from around the world. Last fall, the

TRADITIONS

bEAUTIFUL EAgLE crEEk Former head coach Erk Russell convinced players and fans that this old drainage ditch was “Beautiful Eagle Creek,” a creek of water with magical powers. Water from the creek is bottled up and taken on road games when deemed appropriate.

ALM A MATEr A tradition started in 2010, the Georgia Southern Football team gathers by the band at the end of the game and sings the alma mater with the fans.

YELLOW bUSES The Georgia Southern Eagles arrive at Paulson Stadium each home game in the traditional yellow school buses. This tradition originated in 1981 when the team used the buses as a means of affordable transportation.

bLAck FLAg Added in 2011, the black flag puts the opponent on alert “When you see the black flag coming, you’re going to have a fight to finish,” said Monken after unveiling the flag for the Western Carolina game on September 24, 2011.


TRADITIONS

FIghT SONg

Georgia Southern’s fight song was an honorable mention by bleacherreport.com as one of the nation’s best college fight songs. Renowned band director Richard Bowles composed the fight song for the new football program in 1981 when the marching band was formed.

TrADITIONAL UNIFOrMS

The traditional plain football uniforms are a tribute to the resurrection of the football program when fiscal issues were of concern. Sports Illustrated ranked Georgia Southern uniforms as one of the ‘Top 10’ college football uniforms in the country.

bUMPINg hEADS WITh A LEgEND Legendary coach Erk Russell was known to head butt players as a way of getting them fired up on the field. To honor Coach Russell, players touch or butt the forehead of the bronze bust located near the West Endzone.

ONE MOrE TIME “One More Time” became a tribute to Coach Erk Russell, who often used the phrase as a motivational tactic. Fans shout the phrase “Gooooo Blue, One More Time,” after every kickoff.

FrEEDOM Freedom, Georgia Southern University’s live American bald eagle mascot, soars from the top of the press box to the field before each home football game at Paulson Stadium.



IRON WORKS

Away from the playing fields, the cameras and the game day excitement is Iron Works, the heart of GSU’s strength and conditioning for all 15 intercollegiate teams. Here, athletes enhance their physical capabilities through the training leadership of certified coaches, and the end results are usually displayed in the win column. A renovation to Iron Works included the addition of offices and a new entrance and interior. Nearly $50,000worthofnewweightequipmentincludingmulti-squatracks,twoOlympicplatformscompletewith bumpers plates and bars, free weights, hammer machines and body weight scale were added. Georgia Southern Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Tom Melton, who has the dual title of assistant athletics director/athletic performance, provides a direct strength training leadership role to the Eagle football program while coordinating and supervising off-season and in-season applications for the other 14 GSU teams. Thanks to donations received from former Georgia Southern football athletes, Iron Works is also home to two Vertimax Jump Trainers.

Building a strong future for the Georgia Southern sports programs in his 17 years as Di-rector of Athletics, Sam Baker has positioned the Eagles for success with new or renovated facilities, a foundation of finan-cial stability and decisions to

ensure the best for the student-athlete. An integral component of this ideology is the commitment to “Rings and Diplomas,” as the Athletics Department provides the opportunity for every Georgia Southern student-athlete to win a championship ring and earn a diploma. Baker announced on July 27th that he would be stepping aside from his duties as Athletics Director. He will serve in the interim until a new director is named. The emphasis on the “student” in student-athlete is one trade-mark of the Georgia Southern athletics program as Baker pro-motes the initiative and continued support for excellence in the classroom. Continuing to add to the lengthy list of accomplishments for the program, two Southern Conference championships were add-ed last year in football and softball which upped Georgia South-ern’s total to 32. Those championships gave the Eagles 29 appear-ances in postseason play. The most acclaimed is the Eagle Football program, accounting for nine SoCon titles, 10 NCAA playoff ap-pearances (Division I FCS) and back-to-back NCAA FCS titles in 1999 and 2000, two of the nation’s-best six FCS national champion-ships, during the Baker tenure. A primary focus of Baker’s efforts has been facility improve-ments for fans and student-athletes. Planning and fundraising has begun for a new operations building for the Eagle Football pro-gram to be located at Paulson Stadium. The Gene Bishop Field House opened in the fall 2006, anchored the west end of the sta-dium with aesthetic changes to the concourses at Paulson Stadium made in 2007 and 2008. Softball stadium enchancements were completed in 2008 with the construction of stadium seating, team locker rooms and public rest rooms. In the same time period, the Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center was completed, providing Eagle Golf with one of the top all-around practice facilities the nation. Building and renovations were completed for several projects in-cluding the renovation of J.I. Clements Baseball Stadium, the con-struction of a Track/Soccer Stadium, renovation and expansion of Iron Works (Georgia Southern’s athletic performance center) and Men’s Basketball Locker Room (donated by Michael and Katrina Curry). In addition, other team locker rooms, sports medicine treatment center, equipment room, and coaches’ offices in Hanner Fieldhouse have undergone renovation and upgrades. Baker also served as the driving force behind the Dan J. Parrish, Sr., Football Building, the Herring Pavilion, football practice field renovation and the Troy Cowart Building (home to the Athletic Foundation and Athletics Ticket Office). As a leader in his profession, Baker has been active in his ser-vice to the Southern Conference and the NCAA. From May 2000

to May 2002, he served as chair of the SoCon Athletics Directors Association. As Georgia Southern Athletics Director, he served as a member of the NCAA Special Events, Olympic Liaison and Divi-sion I Football Issues Committees. In June 2009, he was honored with recognition as the NACDA Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year for the Football Championship Subdivision’s Southeast Region. Baker, a native of Front Royal, Va., joined the Georgia Southern management team after five years as Director of the College Foot-ball Marketing Corporation, a subsidiary of the College Football Association (CFA). Baker’s responsibilities with the CFA included securing title sponsorship for and administration of its “Promise of Tomorrow” scholarship program. A four-year agreement with Hitachi award-ed $1.3 million in scholarships to aid individuals involved in inter-collegiate football with the means to pursue careers in the field of education. From 1986-90, he was associate athletic director for financial development at Vanderbilt, where he oversaw the National Com-modore Club. In the two years before moving to Nashville, Baker was associate athletic director for external affairs at the University of Oregon, the institution where he served as director of athletic marketing from January 1983 to May 1984. Baker entered the field of intercollegiate athletics at the College of William & Mary, where he spent seven years (1976-82) as director of athletic promotions. Baker holds a 1976 master’s degree in Sports Administration from Ohio University and a 1974 B. A. in Communication Arts from James Madison University. He and his wife of 36 years, Ann, are the parents of three chil-dren: Zeb, Elizabeth Ann, and Josie.

Since taking over the Georgia Southern Football team prior to the start of the 2010 season, Head Coach Jeff Monken has put the Eagles back on the national scene with back-to-back FCS Semi-final Appearances and a Southern Conference Championship in just his two years at the helm. Monken holds a 21-8 career record after two seasons in charge of the program. Since taking over the Eagles, he has led them to the second most wins in the FCS and they are the only team to play in the last two FCS semifinals. Georgia Southern spent seven weeks at #1 in both FCS polls in 2011, received the school’s first Associated Press (AP) poll vote and defeated Wofford 31-10 for the ninth Southern Conference Championship in school history during Monken’s second season. Five players were named All-Americans after the 11-3 season. The Eagles cleaned up the major SoCon awards with Brent Russell selected as the SoCon Defensive Player of the Year, Dominique Swope picked as the Freshman of the Year and Monken named the Coach of the Year after the regular season. Monken and GSU were not done, however, and won a pair of home playoff games against Old Dominion and Maine before finishing the season in the semifinals at North Dakota State. The Eagles defeated five ranked teams in Monken’s inaugu-ral campaign in 2010, posting a 10-5 record which included an overtime victory over top-ranked and previously undefeated Ap-palachian State. Georgia Southern snapped the Mountaineers’ 26-game conference winning streak at Paulson Stadium and the win opened the door for the program’s first NCAA appearance since 2005. Reeling off three-straight victories to end the regular sea-son, the Eagles earned a spot in the postseason, and added three more marks to the win column to advance to their first FCS semi-final playoff game since 2002. The 10-win campaign was the first double-digit win season in eight years as the Eagles reclaimed po-sitions in the national and conference statistical rankings for of-fense, defense and special teams. While the facts and figures leave little to dispute regarding the Eagles’ success, Monken waves off any accolades and instead focuses on plans for the upcoming season. Not only is he charged with preparing his team for roles on the football field, he takes very seriously the responsibility of helping young men reach their goals as future graduates and citizens. The results have been positive in those aspects as well. The Georgia Southern Football program has set a new high in team GPA in both of Monken’s first two years. The Eagles’ broke their 2010-11 record with a 2.64 GPA in the 2011-12 academic year. They also set a new standard for single-semester mark with a 2.70 GPA in the 2012 spring semester. Both the Eagle head coach and football players are frequent participants at local events, serving in the community and volun-teering countless hours working with people of all ages on various projects and initiatives. Their presence brightens the demeanor of those they visit and that observation alone shows another dimen-sion of Monken’s role as a coach and mentor. Accepting the head coaching position at Georgia Southern in November 2009 with the goal of returning the program to a

position of national prominence, Monken has already helped the Eagles make forward progress. He approaches the tasks at hand every day with a sense of urgency combined with a reverence for the Eagle coaches and players who built the foundation and cre-ated the dynasty. Monken’s plan for Georgia Southern’s success is just as straight forward as his coaching philosophy: work hard, be tough and play with unrelenting effort. With a dozen family members, including his father, Mike, who coach at the high school, collegiate or pro level, there are more than just a few who have influenced his thinking and coaching style. When he was hired as the eighth head coach in the modern history of the program, Monken had 20 years of coaching experi-ence, including 13 serving as an assistant coach for his mentor Paul Johnson. Monken was the Eagles’ slotbacks coach from 1997-2001, joining Johnson’s staff at Navy and Georgia Tech before returning to the familiar sidelines at Georgia Southern with the “triple option” offense. The option, so tied to the identity of Georgia Southern, de-livered six national championship flags to Paulson Stadium and countless exciting moments to Eagle fans. Monken stands by the option as not just an offensive scheme, but “the” offense for the Eagles. The numbers: yards gained, wins and championship rings alone are enough to make the point in its favor. Behind the option and some talented players in the program, Monken’s five years on Coach Johnson’s staff at Georgia Southern were among the most successful of any program. The five-year pe-riod produced an overall record of 62-10, two NCAA FCS Nation-al Championships (1999 and 2000), five consecutive NCAA FCS playoff appearances, five Southern Conference championships, and the school’s second undefeated regular season (1998) en route to a national championship appearance. During that 1998 season, Corey Joyner was under the tutelage of Monken and Joyner would earn All-SoCon and All-America honors. The proficiency of the offense was evident as Georgia South-ern ranked among the top-five teams in rushing offense all five years, leading the nation in 1999 (419 ypg) and 2001 (323.6 ypg). The Eagles finished among the top-15 national scoring leaders in four of those five seasons - including posting the nation’s best av-erage of 50.0 points per game in 1999. Monken also oversaw the Eagles’ special teams units, with his punt team ranking fourth nationally in 2001, averaging a net of 38.7 yards. Monken joined Georgia Southern after playing a key role in the resurgence of Georgia Tech football, serving as slotbacks coach and special teams coordinator in 2008 and 2009. Monken helped

the Yellow Jackets win the Atlantic Coast Conference champion-ship (vacated) and post double-digit wins in 2009. Prior to Georgia Tech, Monken spent six seasons with John-son at Navy, coaching the Midshipmen’s slotbacks and, starting in 2005, adding duties as special teams coordinator. Part of a staff that led Navy to success unseen in Annapolis in decades, Monken contributed to a prolific offensive system that led the Midshipmen to five-straight bowl appearances and five consecutive Command-er-in-Chief trophies between 2003 and 2007. Navy recorded 10 wins in 2004, tying the Academy’s previous best mark for wins last achieved in 1905, and finished the season with a number-24 rank-ing. Handling a wide variety of duties throughout his coaching career, Monken started in the profession in 1989 as a graduate as-sistant at Hawaii. After a one-year stint as a graduate assistant at Arizona State in 1991, he moved on to Buffalo, where he served as a wide receivers and tight ends coach and handled recruiting coordinator responsibilities. He also served on the staffs at Mor-ton (Ill.) High School (head coach) and Concordia (Ill.) University (offensive line). The Joliet, Ill., native earned a bachelor’s degree from Mil-likin in 1989, where he played wide receiver for four years and was also a two-time letterwinner in track. In 1991, Monken earned his master’s degree from Hawaii. Monken and his wife, Beth, make their home in Statesboro. The couple has three daughters, Isabelle, Amelia and Evangeline.

Named Assistant Head Coach in March 2012, Mitch Ware contin-ues his work with the Eagle quarterbacks in his seventh year overall at Georgia Southern and third year on Coach Monken’s staff. Ware previously served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2002-2005 under former Head Coach Mike Sewak. He helped lead Georgia Southern’s rushing game to the top spot in the FCS in each of those four seasons. The option offense returned in 2010 and behind the steady signal calling of Georgia Tech transfer Jaybo Shaw and since then the Eagles have posted the second most wins in the FCS and are the only team to play in the last two FCS semifinals. Shaw finished his career ranked fifth all-time in career passing yards, sixth in passing touchdowns and totaled 30 rushing scores. Shaw earned All-Conference Second Team honors after the 2011 season and was named the Team’s MVP. In his first year on the Eagles coaching staff in 2002, Ware devel-oped first-year starter Chaz Williams into one of the best quarter-backs in the FCS. Williams, who earned All-America honors from the Associated Press and was a finalist for the prestigious Walter Payton Award, was chosen as the Southern Conference’s Offen-sive Player of the Year after rushing for 1,422 yards and scoring a position-record 27 touchdowns as a sophomore. He also guided fullback Jermaine Austin through an incredible rookie season which produced a 1,416-yard rushing total and the SoCon’s Freshman of the Year award. In 2003, Georgia Southern averaged 335.6 yards per game, best in the nation, thanks to Austin’s efforts. Austin earned the SoCon’s Offensive Player of the Year award and All-America honors for the second time. Austin’s 1,461 ground yards, an average of 132.8 per contest, placed him ninth in the final national rankings. The next season, the Eagles commanded the top spot in rushing again, with 369.9 yards per game, leading all of NCAA Division I. Overall, the offense was ranked third nationally in yards per game. Ware came to GSU the first time in 2002 after four seasons at

the United States Naval Academy, where he spent three years as the Midshipman’s quarterbacks coach. While at Navy, Ware tutored a pair of standout quarterbacks in Brian Broadwater and Brian Mad-den, who led the nation in rushing yards by a quarterback in 1999 with 897. In 2001, he helped guide Madden to a near-1,000-yard campaigns in both rushing (905) and passing (902). Prior to his stint at Navy, Ware served as assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Southwest Mis-souri State (now Missouri State) during a 16-year tenure. Ware began at MS in 1976 as the starting quarterback for the Bears during his freshman season. After graduating in 1980, he spent two years as a graduate assistant before being quickly elevated to a full time posi-tion beginning in 1982. Southwest Missouri State ranked as one of top rushing offenses in the FCS from 1989 through 1992. Ware was primarily responsible for the outstanding career of Bears’ quarterback DeAndre Smith, who was named the Gateway Football Conference’s Offensive Player-of-the-Decade for the period of 1985 through 1994. A co-captain and four-year starter, Ware guided the Bears and directed Southwest Missouri State to its last Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championship in 1978 and captured the league’s most valuable player award as a senior in 1979. He also established seven career school records during his playing days. An Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America selection as a senior in 1979, Ware received the prestigious NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship at the conclusion of his playing career. Ware’s stay at MS saw the Bears move from NCAA Division II and the MIAA to NCAA Division 1 FCS and the Mid-Continent and Gateway Football Conferences. He earned both his bachelor’s (1980) and master’s degrees (1982) from Southwest Missouri State and in 1996, he was inducted into the athletics program’s hall of fame. Ware and his wife Judy, have three sons, Jacob, a former Eagle student-athlete, Joshua and Jackson.

ASSiSTANT COACHES


Returning to Georgia Southern for his second tenure alongside Head Coach Jeff Monken, Brent Davis has quickly engineered one of the top rushing offenses in the FCS. The veteran triple option coordinator has led the Eagles to two top-5 finishes in the national rankings for rushing offense. Davis, who served as an offensive line coach for Georgia Southern from 2002 to 2005, begins his third year as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach under Monken. Davis joined the Eagles after four seasons as the offensive co-ordinator at VMI, where he was the architect of the Keydet op-tion attack that ranked as the nation’s leader in rushing offense in 2008 and 2009. Named interim head coach of VMI in January of 2008, he signed the largest class in Keydet history with 28 players, including five from Georgia. For his efforts on the coaching staff following the 2007 season, Davis was presented the Institute’s Dis-tinguished Coaching Award by the Superintendent. The Keydets led the Big South in rushing all four years during Davis’ tenure as offensive coordinator, led the nation in 2009, and all NCAA divisions in 2008. VMI recorded a conference-record 357.5 yards per game in 2008, and in 2009, averaged 276.7 rush-ing yards per game, 100 yards more, on average per game, than the next team in the league. The offensive line allowed only five sacks in 2009, fewest in the FCS. Fifteenth in the nation in scoring (34.7 points per game) in 2008, the Keydets finished 10th in total offense at 435 yards per game. VMI led the Big South in scoring, rushing and passing efficiency while the VMI record books were rewritten to reflect school re-cords set in total offense, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, to-tal touchdowns and scoring. In 2007, the Keydet offense produced four 500-plus yard games and was ranked fourth in the nation in rushing offense (283.2 yards per game) and 34th in the nation in total offense (402.2 ypg). Davis installed the option offense at VMI in 2006, helping the program make the transition from the pro-style offense. The first year, Davis developed Sean Mizzer, who would lead the Big South with more than 1,000 yards rushing and earn First Team All-Big

South Conference honors. The Keydets would finish 13th nation-ally in rushing yards per game. From 2002-2005, Davis coached the offensive line at Georgia Southern and his unit helped the Eagles to two SoCon champion-ships and three FCS playoff appearances. GSU ran its way to four consecutive FCS rushing titles (386.2 ypg in 2002, 335.6 ypg in 2003, 369.9 ypg in 2004 and 386.7 ypg in 2005) and the 2004 scor-ing title (47.0 points per game). During those years, eight Georgia Southern offensive linemen earned All-Southern Conference acco-lades while three (Charles Clarke, Chad Motte and Albert Turner) reached All-American status. In 2002, Clark was honored as the Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner, given to the best offensive lineman in the Southern Conference. Credited for recruiting top players to Georgia Southern, Davis was instrumental in Jayson Foster, while Chris Covington becom-ing Eagles. Foster’s ability was recognized when he won the 2007 Walter Payton Award, while the talented and versatile Chris Cov-ington was named the 2008 Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year after leading Georgia Southern in rushing in 2006. Changing positions from running backs to the offensive line, Davis spent the 2000 and 2001 seasons as assistant offensive line coach. Davis coached Georgia Southern’s running backs from 1997-1999, working with 1999 Walter Payton Award winner, 1998 SoCon Offensive Player of the Year and All-American Adrian Pe-terson. Peterson amassed over 2,600 yards in 15 games in 1998. Peterson was later drafted in the sixth round by the Chicago Bears in the 2002 and played eight seasons in the NFL. Davis, an Athens, Ga. native, played two seasons and won two letters at The Citadel as a tight end for Charlie Taafe in 1992 and 1993. Davis transferred to Georgia his junior year, where he let-tered and also earned a spot on the Academic All-SEC Honor Roll as a senior. Davis graduated from Georgia in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in business management. His wife, Jen, a Georgia Southern graduate, is a special educa-tion teacher.

In just his first season as defensive coordinator, Jack Curtis helped the Eagles to their ninth Southern Conference championship. Curtis, who joined the coaching staff after the 2010 season, brings with him more than 20 years of college coaching experience to Georgia South-ern. In 2011 four defensive starters were named All-Southern Confer-ence and three players (Brent Russell, Laron Scott, Roderick Tinsley) were selected as All-Americans. Russell also won the SoCon’s Defensive Player of the Year Award. Scott drew interest from a number of scouts and signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints. Curtis came to Statesboro after one season as the defensive coordi-nator at Central Missouri. Central Missouri posted a program-best 11 wins and finished the 2010 season with a No. 5 ranking, the highest in Mules’ history. Curtis joined UCM after a year on the staff at Memphis, where he coached the safeties and had responsibilities for the kickoff, punt and field goal block aspects of the Tigers’ special teams units. After eight years on the defensive staff at Northwestern State Univer-sity, including the last three as defensive coordinator, Curtis was offered the position of co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Arkansas State. Curtis took over a defense that had ranked 61st nationally in pass defense the year before and he helped the Red Wolves improve to 16th nationally in pass defense and 39th in total defense. In those eight sea-sons, the NSU defense produced 18 All-Sun Belt honorees and two Sun Belt Defensive Players of the Year in Tyrell Johnson (2007) and Alex Carrington (2008). Johnson, a four-time All-Sun Belt selection, was the top tackler for the Red Wolves and broke the league’s all-time tackles record. He was selected in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Carrington was a third-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2010. Joining Johnson in the Red Wolves secondary as a member of the All-Sun Belt first team was Khayyam Burns, who signed a rookie free agent contract with the Kan-sas City Chiefs. Curtis coached six first-team All-Americans and nine players who were selected in the NFL draft. More than a dozen of his former players signed with NFL teams, including several who are on current rosters. The list includes 2005 Pro Bowl cornerback Terrence McGee and Mi-chael Green. Fourth-round draft pick Kenny Wright, Keith Thibodeaux and David Pittman, a third-round draft pick, were also coached by Cur-tis. Several of Curtis’ other former players continued their football ca-reers in the Canadian, NFL Europe and other professional leagues. During Curtis’ tenure at Arkansas State, the Red Wolves ranked in the top 30 in the country in pass defense four times and in the top 50 in total defense five times. In 2007 and 2009, ASU was the leading defen-sive unit in the Sun Belt Conference. ASU was ranked 30th nationally in rush defense and in the top 50 in both scoring and total defense in Curtis’ final season with the program. Curtis’ 4-3 defensive play calling was instrumental in Arkansas State’s 18-14 win over Texas A&M in 2008 as the Red Wolves shutout the Aggies in the final three quarters. His switch to a 4-3 defensive scheme was also key to the Red Wolves’ 2005 Sun Belt championship season and their first-ever appearance in a bowl game. Northwestern State’s players thrived under Curtis’ direction, most notably All-American defensive backs Jermaine Jones and Tony Joe Maranto. Jones, a cornerback, was named the Southland Conference Player of the Year in 1998. He was selected as the 1997 Southland Con-ference Defensive Player of the Year.

A first-team all-state defensive back at Silver City High School in New Mexico, Curtis played three years at Evangel University before in-juries cut his collegiate football career short. He began his coaching career in what would have been his senior year as a student coach for the Crusaders. After graduation Curtis accepted a position as a graduate assistant coach at Henderson State University and earned his master’s degree in physical education in 1990. He moved to Starkville, Miss., where a graduate assistant coaching position at Mississippi State allowed him to begin his specialist’s degree in educational leadership and work with the Bulldogs’ coaching staff. Curtis remained as a volunteer coach from 1991 through August of 1992 and worked with the Bulldogs’ defensive backs. Western New Mexico hired Curtis as its secondary coach in 1993. He returned to Silver City, N.M., and helped lead the Mustangs to a 7-3 record, the NAIA playoffs and a No. 3 NAIA final national rank-ing. Curtis’ defense led the nation with 29 interceptions and free safety Chris Edmond snatched 13 to lead the nation in that category. Born in Birmingham, Ala., Curtis grew up in the South before his family moved to New Mexico where he attended high school. He is married to the former Michelle Weser of Dumas, Ark., and they have two daughters, Carolina and Georganna.

Kevin Corless joined the Georgia Southern Football program in January following the completion of the 2011 season. He brings with him an impressive resume including turning three programs into nationally-ranked defenses. Most recently, the Kansas City native worked nine years as an assistant coach at Arkansas State (2002-10), the first seven as co-defensive coordinator along with Jack Curtis and the final two with sole responsibility as coordinator. Corless also was in charge of the linebackers and the punt return unit. He was named the league’s 2009 ‘Defensive Coordinator of the Year’ by rivals.com. Coming off a Sun Belt title in 2005 and par-ticipation in the New Orleans Bowl, Corless’ unit finished second twice (2006, 2008) and led the conference twice (2007, 2009) in total defense. During the 2010 season, the Red Wolves led the SBC in red-zone defense (17th nationally), ranked second in turnovers gained (25th) and third in sacks (40th). When ASU led the conference in total defense during the 2009 campaign, the unit also boasted the top-ranking in redzone defense and scoring defense while finish-ing second in rushing defense and third in passing defense. In 2008, ASU led the Sun Belt in redzone defense and rushing defense while ranking second in scoring and pass defense. Cor-less and the defense stood 11th nationally in stopping opponents in the redzone and 20th in tackles for loss. That year the program knocked off Texas A&M 18-14.

nation’s best in rushing defense and turnovers gained. His inaugu-ral season of 2002 saw ASU finish second among the SBC in five different categories, including total defense and turnovers gained. In all of Corless’ years, the Red Wolves defense finished among the ‘Top 40’ FBS programs in at least one defensive category. Cor-less also coached three Freshman All-Americans during his time with the Red Wolves. Six of his defensive players since 1998 would hear their name called in the NFL Draft, led by second round pick Tyrell Johnson - the 2007 SBC Defensive Player of the Year. In the following year, Corless coached Alex Carrington to the league’s top Defensive Award and saw him get drafted in the third round by Buffalo. The ASU linebackers unit earned 10 All-SBC awards during Corless’ Red Wolves tenure. From 1995-2001, he was an assistant coach at Northwestern State, starting as the defensive line coach (1995-98) then being promoted to co-defensive coordinator and the final three seasons was in charge of the linebackers (1999-2001). Northwestern State captured two Southland Conference titles and made three NCAA FCS Playoff appearances (1997, 1998, 2001). It was during the 1998 season that the Demons led the country in punt returns, thanks to NFL Draft pick Terrance McGee by the Buffalo Bills. Corless coached linebackers and was the special teams coordi-nator at Montana Tech from 1986-95. Prior to his arrival, Montana Tech had not won a game in three seasons, and the rebuilding pro-cess began. The team turned in winning seasons, won conference titles and the process was highlighted when the program made its first NAIA playoff appearance in 1992. He also worked from 1984-86 as the graduate assistant coach with linebackers at Northwest Missouri State. Corless was on a coaching staff that captured a MIAA conference title, 10-2 record and trip to the national playoffs. Corless is an alumnus of Northwest Missouri State University. He and his wife Stacey have three children: Anne, Caitlin and Joe.

Orlando Mitjans, Jr., returns for his third year as the Georgia Southern cornerbacks coach and brings with him a calm demeanor and penchant for teaching to the program. Since arriving in Statesboro, he has already make an impact on the Eagles’ cornerbacks by helping mold Laron Scott, a free agent signee of the New Orleans Saints in 2012, into a two-time All-American and Southern Conference selection. Scott finished his career with nine career interceptions and set a single-season record in 2010 with six picks. Scott’s 2010 record combined with the rest of the secondary helped formed the best Georgia Southern pass defense since 2001, when they ranked second in the FCS in 2010. The Eagles finished that season 11th in the nation under the tutelage of Mitjans. The coaching veteran came to Georgia Southern from Tennes-see State where he served as secondary coach. In 2009, the Tigers ranked as the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) leader in pass de-fense and finished second in the OVC in total defense. Mitjans returned to Tennessee State after four years with other programs, including a year at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nash-ville, Tenn., where he was the co-defensive coordinator and sec-ondary coach. The opportunity at Montgomery Bell Academy cut short his stay at Florida A&M where he was the defensive coor-dinator and secondary coach durin g spring ball. Secondary coach at Eastern Kentucky from March of 2006 through February 2008, Mitjans helped mold a defense that produced an All-American and five All-Conference players. His secondary corps had 24 intercep-tions in 2007, and was the top-ranked pass defense in the OVC in 2007. The Colonels went on to win the OVC championship that year and three of his four starters were named to the OVC All-Conference team, including Derrick Huff. Huff was selected as the league’s defensive player of the year and earned first-team All-America honors. In his first stop at Tennessee State, Mitjans was assistant head coach and defensive coordinator with the Tigers in 2005. He coached the secondary where Tennessee State led the OVC in pass defense and total defense that season. At Towson University Mit-jans started as the Tigers running backs coach in 1999. He took over the secondary in 2001, and was promoted to defensive co-ordinator in 2004. Mitjans coached two All-Conference tailbacks, Noah Read, who led the Patriot League in rushing, and Jason Cor-le, the Tigers all-time leading rusher, then helped produce two All-Conference secondary players. In 2002, five of his defensive players earned all-league honors. With a league-leading 21 interceptions in 2003, the Towson sec-ondary set a school record with four returned for touchdowns. The season before, one of Mitjan’s senior safeties finished the 2002 sea-son ranked ninth nationally in interceptions. Mitjans served as secondary coach at Kent State University (1994) and at C.W. Post College (1996) before accepting a similar position at Morgan State in January of 1997. As secondary coach, Mitjans helped his players record 28 takeaways and with five earn-

ing All-Conference honors. The following season Mitjans took the defensive coordinator’s role and improved Morgan State’s perfor-mance to a number-15 ranking in the Football Championship Sub-division. Three players he recruited went on to play professional football. Following his playing career, Mitjans spent two seasons as a stu-dent assistant coach at Northeastern University. He landed his first full-time coaching job at Cheyney University when he coached the secondary and coordinated special teams. Mitjans was selected to participate in the NFL’s minority intern-ship program and had the opportunity to work with secondary coaches and players from NFL teams in Kansas City (2001), St. Louis (1999, 2000) and New York Jets (1994). In 2006, he was cho-sen as one of 20 coaches nationwide to attend the NCAA Expert Coaching Academy to prepare individuals for head coaching roles. Through his career, Mitjans has been responsible for the re-cruitment of several players who have gone to the NFL, includ-ing Jermon Bushrod of the New Orleans Saints (Towson), Antwan Molden of the Houston Texans (Eastern Kentucky), the Arizona Cardinals’ Dominique Rodgers Cromartie (Tennessee State), Vis-hante Shiancoe of the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings (Morgan State), and Jim O’Neil (Towson) who is currently the de-fensive quality control coach for the New York Jets. Former Ten-nessee State free safety Anthony Levine signed with the Green Bay Packers this past spring. A safety on Lou Holtz’s Razorback teams from 1978-80, Mitjans transferred to Northeastern and played for the Huskies for his final two years. He graduated from Northeastern in 1982 with a degree in leadership. Mitjans and his wife, Claire, reside in Statesboro.

Leading the Eagles’ special teams units and working with Victor Cabral to mold one of the best defensive lines in the nation, John Scott, Jr., begins his third year as an assistant coach for Georgia Southern. Along with Cabral, Scott coached two All-Americans in 2011, including Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year Brent Russell. Russell anchored a defensive line, which also featured All-Amer-ican Roderick Tinsley and All-SoCon selection John Douglas, that combined for 158 tackles, 35 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks. In 2010 Russell, who was a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award for the nation’s top defensive player at the Championship Subdivi-sion level, earned All-America accolades from numerous entities as well as first-team All-SoCon defensive honors. Scott was named defensive line coach on the Eagles staff in Janu-ary 2010 after four seasons coaching outside linebackers at Mis-souri State and three years on the football staff at Western Carolina. A 2000 graduate of Western Carolina and four-year Catamount let-terman, Scott returned to coach at his alma mater in 2006. Scott was the defensive ends and outside linebackers coach for two sea-sons (2006-07) and defensive line coach for one (2008). The second-team All-Southern Conference pick at defensive end in 1998, Scott registered 17 tackles for loss and in 1997, he had 59 tackles, tops among defensive linemen, in addition to 11 tackles for loss. His total of 31 tackles for loss ranks 10th all time in West-ern Carolina history. After earning his bachelor’s degree in communications from Western Carolina, Scott played three years of professional foot-ball, including two years with the Greensboro (N.C.) Prowlers of the Arena Football League 2. He was selected the team’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2000.

Taking over the running backs in the 2012 season, Lamont Seward enters his third season as an assistant coach at Georgia Southern. Seward spent his first two seasons in Statesboro coach-ing the wide receivers before taking over the running back duties prior to the start of spring practice. During his first two season on the coaching staff, he helped de-velop, along with quaterbacks coach Mitch Ware, one of the na-tions’ most efficent passing offensive. The Eagles ranked second in the nation in 2011 in passing effeciency, while freshman receiver Kentrellis Showers led the team with 15 catches for 258 yards and three touchdowns. Seward joined Jeff Monken’s staff in March 2010 after two sea-sons as the wide receivers coach at West Georgia. Seward helped install the option offense in his first season and refined the role of the wide receivers. The corps posted efficient numbers in 2010 and were critical to the execution of the developing offense. With the West Georgia football program as an assistant coach beginning in winter 2008 and through the 2009 fall campaign, Seward worked with the wide receivers and also assisted with the kickoff and punt return teams. Following two years as an assistant coach/offensive coordinator at Warren County High School in his hometown of Warrenton, N.C., Seward joined the WCU staff in 2006 as wide receivers coach. Seward also assisted with the Cata-mounts’ weekly offensive game plans and helped coach the kickoff and punt return teams. As the Catamounts wide receivers coach, Seward increased the reception totals of then-juniors Michael Hines and Eddie Cohen, with Cohen going on to claim WCU’s single-season record for re-ception yardage with 1,208. Cohen’s 2007 total of nine receiving touchdowns placed him fourth on the single-season chart, and he finished sixth on the WCU career list. Cohen was a two-time selec-tion to the All-Southern Conference in 2006 and 2007. Selected to the SoCon All-Decade Team (1997-2006), Seward

The Georgia Southern defense held top-ranked and previously undefeated Appalachian State scoreless in the second half, then recovered a Mountaineer fumble in overtime to hold onto a 21-14 victory at Paulson Stadium in 2010. The November 6th win ended ASU’s 26-game Southern Conference win streak dating back to 2007 and helped position the Eagles for a playoff berth.

Georgia Southern’s All-Americans represent more than the 75 men who have earned national recognition for their talents. These Eagles, with more than 158 All-America hon-ors shared among them, are the first to give credit to their teammates – the others on the field who pushed them to excel, challenged them to rise above their competitors, and who helped Georgia Southern to victory. At least one individual has appeared at least one All-America list in 26 of the 29 years of the modern era of Georgia Southern Football. With honorees at every position, our All-Americans have added to the tradition of the Georgia Southern. Their efforts and dedication have built a solid foundation on which the next era of Eagle Football may be built.

Sophomore cornerback Nay Young recorded two of those pickoffs and three pass breakups. His 43-yard return to the JSU 26-yard line on the first theft set up fullback Gerald Harris’ one-yard plunge to make the score 17-0.

That’s what made the difference for us today.”

(december 15, 1990)

stAtesbOrO, ga. - Quarterback Raymond Gross rushed for a game-high 145 yards and the Georgia Southern defense rose to the occasion with a crucial goal line stand early in the third quarter as the Eagles captured their fourth national cham-pionship in six years. Trailing 14-6 to open the second half, Nevada drove 74 yards in 14 plays to the Eagle 1-yard line. The Wolfpack was stuffed on four consecutive plays before Kevin McKelvie missed a 24-yard field goal. GSU answered with a pair of Darryl Hopkins touchdown runs to take a comfortable 27-6 lead midway through the final period. After Hopkins’ contributions, the Eagles added a 41-yard Mike Dowis field goal and closed the contest when true freshman defensive end Alex Mash returned a Chris Vargas pass 15 yards for a touchdown.

MISSION ACCOMpLISHEDeagles capture unprecedented fifth National title

(december 18, 1999)

cHAttANOOgA, tenn. - Georgia Southern waited a year to redeem itself in the Division I-AA championship. Once the game started, the Eagles ended the suspense by halftime. Adrian Peterson rushed for a championship game-record 247 yards on 25 carries and scored three touchdowns as Georgia Southern scored 28 unanswered points in the second quarter and routed Youngstown State 59-24 becoming the first team to win five I-AA titles. The Walter Payton Award winner scored on runs of 3, 22 and 1 yards. Youngstown State, which came in with a defense that had been giving up just 166 yards rushing per game, couldn’t contain I-AA’s best rushing offense. The Eagles got 210 of their record-638 yards rushing in the second quarter and finished with 655 yards of offense compared to 338 for Youngstown State. The Penguins kept pace with Georgia Southern by scoring on their first two drives. Then Peterson got Georgia Southern going - putting the Eagles ahead to stay at 14-10 with 10:25 left in the second quarter on his first TD of the game. It was a showdown between I-AA’s two best teams. Youngstown State had won more games (100) than any other I-AA program this decade and Georgia Southern came in with more playoff victories than any other I-AA program. The two pro-grams also came in with four I-AA championships each.

Ryan Hadden ended one Montana drive in the fourth quarter with an interception while two other drives ended in loss of downs. In addition to Peterson’s rushing ef-forts, quarterback J.R.

erkruSSellHead Coach 1981-1989

ERK RUSSELL


On September 8, 2006, legendary coach Erk Russell passed away. Coach Russell’s death touched not only the Georgia Southern University and Statesboro communi-ties, but the entire college football nation. Arguably one of the best known people (even long past his retirement from coaching) in the state of Georgia, coach Russell was loved and respected by all. The day before he passed away coach Russell spoke for nearly an hour to the Eagles, passing along stories and advice on not only football but life. That was typi-cal of the ‘Father of Georgia Southern Football’. He touched the lives of many, not only his players but fellow coaches and mem-bers of the community who were on hand during the ceremony celebrating his life at, where else, but Paulson Stadium. Erk Russell’s spirit lives on, across the Georgia Southern campus. His vision of what could be continues to inspire the university today, as do the morals and ethics he instilled in his players and his positive impact on the community. His motto of ‘Do Right’ are words that will be ever linked to his legacy. Since leading the Eagle football team to its third NCAA Division I-AA national championship and retiring from coaching in December, 1989, Russell gave all he could to Georgia Southern. Whether assuming chairmanship of the university’s capital campaign or dousing the baseball team bus with Eagle Creek Water before its departure for the College World Series, Russell was an active and visible booster of GSU and its programs. As a coach, Russell saved the best for last. He entered the 1989 season as Ameri-ca’s winningest coach, orchestrator of two national championships, 68 wins and 14 All-America selections - during a seven-year period. In the ensuing 105 days, Southern ascended to the top spot in the NCAA I-AA football poll and Russell smoked 15 victory cigars. Erk’s Eagles extended Division I’s longest home win streak from 26 to 37 games. Strong safety Randell Boone, free safety Taz Dixon and offensive guard Sean Gainey raised Russell’s All-America count to 17. Georgia Southern gained distinction as the first 15-0 college team of that century. Russell’s final record at Georgia Southern is a remarkable 83-22-1 (.788). After the Eagles moved to Division I-AA in 1984, he fashioned a 70-14 (.825) mark. Russell averaged 10.4 wins per season. When Georgia Southern brought football back in 1981 it looked to Russell, long-time defensive coordinator at Georgia. Russell’s first Eagle team, comprised entirely of walk-on players, fashioned a 7-3-1 record in 1982. The next year South-ern went 6-5, with four of the losses by five points or less. In 1984 the Eagles en-tered Division I-AA and went 8-3, narrowly missing a national playoff berth. Then came consecutive 13-2 seasons and back-to-back national championships, a I-AA first. With true freshman Raymond Gross at quarterback, the Eagles advanced to the national quarterfinals in 1987 before finishing 9-4. In 1988, Southern made its third championship game appearance in four seasons, falling to Furman 17-12 in Pocatello, Idaho. Russell, who developed a reputation as one of college football’s great defensive coordinators at Georgia, put together an extraordinary offense for the Eagles. His 1986 squad led the nation in scoring (41.3 points per game), total offense (501.8 yards per game), and rushing offense (327.1). Georgia Southern was unstoppable in the playoffs during the 1986 season, averaging 50.7 points. His last Eagle team won the national rushing championship (329.2 yards per game). Southern was among the top five teams nationally in both scoring (12.1 points) and total defense (255.9 yards) while allowing only 133 points, a school-record, and holding two op-ponents scoreless. During his 17 years at Georgia, Russell molded some of the country’s finest de-fensive teams and his Junkyard Dogs became synonymous with Bulldog football. In 1967 Georgia led the Southeastern Conference in total defense and scoring de-fense. The next year Georgia topped the SEC in total defense and led the nation in scoring defense, yielding just 9.8 points per contest. In 1971, Russell’s group paced the country in shutouts and finished among the nation’s Top 10 in rushing defense, total defense and scoring defense. The ’78 Bulldogs finished a point be-hind national champion Alabama in scoring defense. UGA’s ’79 defense forced 49 takeaways, the national high. A native of Birmingham, Ala., Russell held a bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Auburn. He played football, basketball, baseball and tennis for the Tigers, earning 10 varsity letters. Russell was the last four-sport letterman in Auburn his-tory. Married to Erk for 57 years, Jean Russell passed away in September 2008. The couple is survived by their two sons, Rusty and Jay.
