Few fans of the Georgia Southern Eagles saw this turnaround coming, but supported their team from beginning to end.

Fresh off the 9-4 season in 2015, where GS won the GoDaddy Bowl for their first bowl victory in program history, Tyson Summers, the then Colorado State defensive coordinator, was tasked the job of replacing Willie Fritz who left to take the Tulane job. But this isn't about the aforementioned Summers, who would go 5-13 and lose his job after just 18 games, but about his successor and current GS head coach, Chad Lunsford.
