[Roaming Buff]

Seeing that Gardner-Webb is exptected to hire Coach McCullough. https://footballscoop.com/2025/12/23...ing-profession

This can't come as a surprise.

We feel your pain

I am totally sure I've never heard of Gardner-Webb before today. After looking them up, I wonder if he's doing the right thing. This is a tiny religious school that evolved from Boiling Springs High School and has an enrollment of "over 3000".

Interestingly, the student body is 2/3 female.

Good luck to Coach McCullough. He did a fantastic job at UTPB.

I wonder if Gibson will follow his coach.

Some of that could help recruiting…

Wow!

They have made the NCAA tournament in basketball several times so that is how I have heard of them.

I immediately thought of Gibson and how many other players will enter the portal.

Looks like game on and pick a LSC winner out of a hat in 2026 from the top 5 teams.

Haha I would like that ratio if I was a football athlete

[Purple Mav Man]

Congrats to him for the promotion (money-wise). I suspect he could take his entire UTPB roster and have similar results at GW, but it is a D1 job.

Also, what’s the over/under on years there? He’s in the transfer portal as much as anyone. Haha

[OldBison]

If you want to move up to a FCS job GW is as good a place as any to get started. They went to the FCS playoffs in 2023.

This sucks. But I understand. Thank you Coach Mccollough for a great 3 years. I hope UTPB doesn't fall back to the 5-6 team they were before. Excited that Kannon Gibson is back though.

GW is the North Carolina equivalent of UMHB. Southern Baptist, expensive, good school.

Looks like either WOU & WT should win it all, huh?

If the OC for UTPB and Gibson stay, I think it swings back UTPB's direction.

[ASUPops]

So then you think WT will be 2nd?

Mccollough calls the plays, sounds like he's taking OC and DC with him. WT OC left today as well. LSC is WIDE OPEN
