Kennesaw State Fires Football Coach Bohannon

Kennesaw State's football program is in turmoil following the departure of head coach Brian Bohannon, who refuted the university's claim that he stepped down. Athletic Director Milton Overton stated that Bohannon was offered the opportunity to resign, which he assumed was accepted, but Bohannon clarified on social media that he was informed by Overton of a leadership change, indicating he was fired. Bohannon built the program from scratch since 2015, achieving a 72-38 record, yet the team struggled in its first season in the FBS, currently sitting at 1-8. His notable achievement this season included an upset victory over Liberty, but the Owls have faced significant losses, including a recent double-overtime defeat to UTEP. Co-offensive coordinator Chandler Burks has been named interim head coach as the university seeks a permanent replacement. The situation reflects the challenges faced by Kennesaw State as they transition to a higher level of competition.
