Top 10 College Football Head Coaches who are Rising Stars
Sep 13, 2014; Atlanta, GA, USA; Georgia Southern Eagles head coach Willie Fritz reacts to a turnover call against the Georgia Southern Eagles during the second half at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Georgia Tech defeated Georgia Southern 42-38. Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports
Willie Fritz stepped on the campus at Georgia Southern just as the Eagles were entering FBS play. At a higher level of competition, all he did was take a team that was 7-4 the previous year and make it to 9-3.
Fritz runs the pistol triple-option, and if his success in the Sun Belt can continue over the next few years, he will become heavily noticed across the country, even if he is in the second half of his 50s.
This is a fashionable system that will breed lots of excitement at the college level, so you can bet that another team is going to want to sweep Fritz up at some point if he keeps on winning. And with seven starters back on defense this year, things could continually be looking up.
Could Georgia Southern get to 10, 11, or maybe even 12 wins this year? Then Fritz will have a plethora of teams looking for him.
