STATEMENT FROM GEORGIA STATE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS CHARLIE COBB
On the resignation of head football coach Shawn Elliott
"We want to thank for his hard work and dedication the last seven years to build this football program. I know this was a difficult decision for him, but I understand his personal reasons, and we wish the best for Shawn and his family.
"We are proud of what this football program has accomplished in such a short time. Six bowl games and four bowl victories in our first 10 years at the FBS level - I don't know of another start-up program that has had that kind of success so quickly.
