Coach Fired After One Game | Huntsville News

Gardner-Webb University stunned the college football world by firing head coach Kris McCullough after just one game — a 35-17 loss to Austin Peay.

Special teams coordinator Pete Bennett has stepped in as interim head coach, with the team set to play Wofford this Saturday. The school hasn’t disclosed specifics behind the move, but it’s clear they felt it was necessary — and fans are left wondering how this young program will recover so fast.
