STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern Director of Athletics Tom Kleinlein announced Sunday that Dell McGee has been tabbed as the Eagles' interim head coach for the upcoming GoDaddy Bowl against Bowling Green. McGee takes over for Willie Fritz, who accepted the head coaching position at Tulane last week.
"Coach Fritz and I had a conversation when he came back from New York and we talked about the future and leadership of our program," Kleinlein said. "Coach felt there may be some distractions associated with him being the head coach and didn't want to detract from the experience of going to a bowl for our players.
