This season under Summers, Georgia Southern has yet to win a game (0-6). The Eagles lost Saturday 55-20 to UMASS, which was previously 0-6.

Fans on Twitter were quick to show their excitement for change in Statesboro.

So is today a national holiday now for Georgia Southern? Oh happy day. #ByeBye Tyson Summers!!!!!
