KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — Brian Bohannon is out as Kennesaw State football coach with the Owls mired at 1-8 in their first season as an FBS program. Bohannon guided the program at the university in the Atlanta suburbs since it was launched in 2015. He posted a record of 72-38 that included three Big South Conference championships and four FCS playoff appearances. But the Owls have struggled since beginning the move to college football’s top division. They lost their first six games this season before an upset of Liberty. Co-offensive coordinator Chandler Burks will take over as interim head coach. Bohannon said he was informed the university was making a change but said he did not step down.
