Fritz introduced as GSU football coach
011014 GSU FRITZ 01
Newly named Georgia Southern University head football coach Willie Fritz gives a "Go Eagles!" shout out at the podium after his introduction by athletics director Tom Kleinlein during a press conference at Bishop Field House Friday.
When Willie Fritz was introduced as the next head coach of Georgia Southern's football program, he took former Eagles quarterback and College Football Hall of Famer Tracy Ham's advice. Fritz told a packed Bishop Field House crowd on Friday: "Tracy Ham told me during the interview process, ‘Coach, for your press conference, we need you to say two words. Triple option.'" Fritz, who spent the last four seasons at Sam Houston State, plans to install the same offense he ran there.
