VanGorder knows what's expected. His predecessor Mike Sewak won 72 percent of his games. In Sewak's four years as head coach, the Eagles advanced to the Division I-AA playoffs three times and won two Southern Conference championships.
In 2004, Sewak was the conference's Coach of the Year. In 2005, without a national championship in his head coaching resume, he was fired.
VanGorder, a father of five, doesn't appear to be fazed. He says he has a plan for the Eagles and he's worked tirelessly to make up for lost time.
Last week, he took a short break for an interview with Savannah Morning News sports writer Donald Heath.
Q: Are you still living out of your suitcase?
A: A little bit. We're OK though. The family is all here. We moved into a four-bedroom apartment. (The kids) have already started school. Leaving Athens was really hard, then making another move a year later was hard. Hopefully, we've landed in a place that we can make home.
Q: How do you like living in rural Georgia so far? Is this you?
A: We like Georgia a lot. We lived in McComb, Ill., and that was probably more rural than this. There are a lot of advantages to (living in the country). The main thing to us is we're in a community where the kids are safe, they can get a good education and they're around good people.
