Georgia State athletic director Charlie Cobb wants to extend the contracts of football coach Trent Miles and his staff, but will have those discussions after the season.
Miles has two football seasons left on a contract that he signed when he was hired in 2012. He led the Panthers to a 6-6 record this season and a berth in the Cure Bowl, the program’s first postseason experience.
“We have had a fantastic season,” Cobb said. “What I think has made this season a success is the coaches, players and everyone involved in the program have stayed in the moment. After the bowl game we will have big-picture conversations about how we make the program better.”
Miles went 1-23 in his first two years as he tried to take a program that didn’t have much success on the FCS level under previous coach Bill Curry and turn it into a FBS program.
The Panthers started 1-4 this season before winning four consecutive games, including a 34-7 win over rival Georgia Southern in the regular-season finale, to reach six wins and become bowl eligible.
The team is expected to return all but six starters next season, which could make them one of the favorites to win the Sun Belt Conference next year.
