Kennesaw State coach Brian Bohannon, coming off his fourth FCS playoff appearance, agreed to a three-year contract extension through 2026.

Bohannon, the Owls’ first coach, is 63-18 in seven seasons. The Owls were 11-2 in 2021 with their third Big South Conference championship, their final season before moving to the ASUN.

“Coach Bohannon has done an outstanding job starting building, and sustaining a championship-caliber football program,” Kennesaw State athletic director Milton Overton said in a news release.

Bohannon was hired as Kennesaw State’s first coach in 2013. The Owls have had a winning record every year, including a 6-5 mark in their inaugural 2015 season.

The Owls lost in the second round of the playoffs last season.
