TWTW: Hatcher Out At Georgia Southern

((HT: Thecoastalsource.com/WJCL-TV))

After three seasons at Georgia Southern University, Chris Hatcher is out as head coach- much to the hand-waving Big Phil's delight and lack of surprise.

The glory days of Erk Russell long since passed at Southern, AD Sam Baker thought that the "Hatch Attack" would bring playoff berths and post-season success back to Statesboro, Georgia.

All it brought, instead, was frustration at both Hatch and Baker for a hiccuping offense and an inconsistent defense.

Southern finished their season with a win Saturday, but it simply wasn't enough and the past few seasons have proven to be unacceptable for boosters and fans.

Here's FOSG Frank Sulkowski with the news...


Those of us at OSG HQ have covered Hatch since his time as a quarterback at Valdosta State University, back when we all had a lot more hair. He is a great man and should land on his feet very soon.

D2 was his bag, and he had the routine down cold. It'll be interesting to see what happens to Hatch and the guys on his staff...
