ATLANTA – Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliott has completed the Panthers’ staff with the hiring of former South Alabama running backs coach Tim Bowens to the same position at GSU and former Western Carolina defensive backs coach Blake Gideon as cornerbacks coach.
With these two hires, the Panthers have replaced cornerbacks coach Sam Shade, who moved to the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, and filled the new 10th full-time position created by the NCAA for 2018.
“We’re excited to move forward in 2018 with the addition of two very good coaches who are even better as people and will be great teachers and role models for our young men,” Elliott said as the Panther look to build on their first bowl game victory.
