1. New Coach
Starting next season, Bill Curry will no longer be the head coach for Georgia State. With the help of the company Parker Executive Search, Georgia State Athletics has already started the search for a new coach. According to athletic director Cheryl Levick, the school’s plan is to hire the new coach no later than the beginning of next year so that he can start recruiting as early as possible.
As of last week, Georgia State announced the football team’s schedule for the 2013 season, which is the Panthers’ first time in the Sun Belt Conference, a tougher conference than the CAA. Georgia State scheduled 12 games for next season, one more game than this one. Also, the team will hit the road to face SEC powerhouses Alabama and West Virginia.
