COACHING STAFF

HEAD COACH
HC s t e ve PATTON Steve Patton has averaged nearly seven wins per season in his 13 years with the Gardner-Webb program, and has the Bulldogs in strong shape heading into his 14th campaign. The Oneonta, Ala., native became the first coach in Big South history to record 100 career wins in 2007, and now has 113 victories in his 17 seasons of coaching on the collegiate level. Patton has recorded a 83-59 record during his 13 seasons at Gardner-Webb, giving him more wins than any coach to lead the program before him. Patton led Gardner-Webb to its 10th winning season under his guidance last season, as the 'Dogs posted a 6-5 mark overall – with two of those losses coming to Football Bowl Subdivision opponents on the road. In 2008, The Runnin' Bulldogs sent receiver Dobson Collins to the NFL (San Francisco), marking the second season in a row that a GWU player had either signed a free agent deal or been drafted by the league. Collins and linebacker Jeffery Williams earned All-America honors and Williams was named Big South Defensive Player of the Year – following up strongly on his Freshman of the Year Award from the previous season. In 2007, Brian Johnston earned consensus All-America honors and was drafted in the seventh round by Kansas City. Linebacker Mario Brown and cornerback Cedric McGowan were named honorable mention All-America by The Sports Network, Williams earned Big South Freshman of the Year honors after setting a new pace with 120 total hits in 2007. Patton, a two-time Big South Coach of the Year, directed the 'Dogs to a 6-5 record in 2006, the ninth winning season in his 11-year tenure in Boiling Springs. All five of those losses came at the hands of teams ranked at some point during the season as members of the Division I FCS top-25 – including national champion Appalachian State. The success of 2006 came with one of the youngest rosters in Division I, with 74 percent of the Bulldogs' team holding membership in either the freshman or sophomore class. Five of the team's six wins came against Division I competition, and Johnston was named Big South Defensive Player of the Year and a Division I FCS All-American by the Associated Press and Football Gazette. Linebacker Brown and center Kris King also earned All-America honors, with King accepting a roster spot for the U.S. National Team at the 2007 World Cup of Football in Japan. Kicker Hunter Smith was named to the Division I FCS Athletic Director's

Academic All-Star Team, and was highly decorated on and off the field – becoming the first student-athlete in Big South football history to earn All-Conference honors in four consecutive seasons. GWU has played one of the toughest collections of teams in the Big South over the past six seasons. Of Gardner-Webb's five wins in 2004, two came against teams that were ranked in the NCAA Division I FCS top-25 at some point during the season, and four of the losses came against teams who capped top-25 seasons in November. The same can be said for 2005, as GWU fell in overtime to a top-15 squad, and dropped two more games to top-10 teams Furman and Hampton. Patton has forged a solid program, winning 62 games at the Division I level. Since joining the Big South Conference in 2002, Gardner-Webb has gone 20-13 during eight seasons of competition – with league titles won in 2002 and 2003 with undefeated ledgers. During that span, GWU has forged the league's second-best overall winning percentage. Notable in terms of the strength of Gardner-Webb's non-conference schedule since 2004 is that 15 of the Bulldogs' last 20 non-league losses have come at the hands of either top-25 FCS teams or teams from the Bowl Championship Subdivision – including a 10-7 loss at eventual top-25 member Georgia Tech in 2008. During Patton's tenure, 31 GWU players have earned All-America honors. Johnston and Brown's selections in 2007 made the pair two-time All-Americans, and Cedric McGowan became the Bulldogs' first corner to earn that distinction since 2004. King continued that tradition in 2006, and Duvaughn Flagler was tabbed in 2005. In 2004, Patton saw two players earn I-AA All-America honors, with Harold Wells earning I-AA National Defensive Lineman of the Year honors from the Football Gazette. The Bulldogs' 26-20 overtime win over Western Carolina surprised many – and sparked interest in the Gardner-Webb program locally that helped smash previous single game and season attendance records at Ernest W. Spangler Stadium. Another 19 Bulldogs earned All-Big South honors as well, which led the league for the third-straight season. GWU has seen 101 players earn All-Big South honors since 2002. Under Patton's guidance, the Bulldogs followed up a surprising run into the national spotlight in 2002 with another big season in 2003. The ‘Dogs posted an 8-4 record, won all four of their Big South games and appeared in the national top-25 for three weeks during the ‘03 campaign. Three of the Bulldogs’ four losses came on the road to teams ranked in the national top-20, and GWU pushed its active home winning streak to 15 games with an overtime win over current FBS program Florida
Harbison was also an assistant coach under Patton with the Rage. Harbison is entering his second season as co-defensive coordinator at Clemson University after a year in the same role at Mississippi State. Another former Gardner-Webb standout, Jim Washburn, also coached with Patton in the professional ranks. Washburn, who was later an assistant coach at South Carolina and Arkansas, is currently the defensive line coach with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. In 1996, Patton returned to the college ranks, taking the head coaching position at North Greenville (S.C.) College and directing the Mounties’ transition from a junior college to a four-year program. To no one’s surprise, he was successful, leading his teams to a 12-9 record in two seasons. In his final campaign (1996), Patton led the Mounties to a 7-3 record, a national top-10 ranking and an outstanding offensive season. North Greenville led the Mid-South Conference in total offense (440 yards per game) and scoring (31.0 points per game) in 1996. Running back Coco Henderson and offensive lineman Scott Buchanan were among several Mounties to earn AllConference accolades following the season. Players competing for Patton can expect honors and superlatives to come their way. In addition to the previously mentioned All-America honors, 166 players have earned All-Conference selections. With experience as a scout for the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes and as a former professional head coach, Patton has enjoyed success preparing his players for pro football. Canadian League, Arena League and NFL scouts are very familiar with Boiling Springs, and can be seen milling through the GWU Football Center, evaluating talent, each year. Patton began his college career at the University of Alabama before transferring to Furman. During his time at Furman, Patton competed successfully on the gridiron and as a collegiate tennis player – while graduating Magna Cum Laude with an undergraduate degree in History. As a graduate assistant coach with the Paladins, Patton earned a Master’s Degree in Education in 1979. During his high school playing days at Oneonta (Ala.) High, Patton earned All-State honors while competing in football and track before heading to Tuscaloosa. Patton is married to the former Debbie Talbert of Charlotte, N.C. The couple has two daughters, Stetson Kay and Shelby Anne.

International in November. Mario Williams, Graham Whitlock and Harold Wells each earned some form of All-America honors at the I-AA level, with Williams earning first-team All-America honors from The Sports Network. Five GWU players earned All-East Region honors from The Football Gazette, and the program tied its school record from a year earlier by having 20 student-athletes named to the All-Conference team. Williams was named Conference Defensive Player of the Year for the second time, and graduate student Jim Maxwell earned Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year honors from the league. Following the 2003 season, Maxwell turned his attention to the NFL, signing a free agent contract with the New York Giants after receiving offers from no fewer than 10 teams – and played in 13 games with the Big Blue. William Andrews, Jr., who became the school’s career leader in receptions, inked a free agent contract with the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes. In 2002, Patton directed his Bulldogs to what some consider the most successful season in school history, winning 90 percent of a 10-game schedule that was made up exclusively of Division I-AA opponents (9-1) and bringing home the school’s first conference team championship in any sport since Gardner-Webb’s move to the NCAA Division I level in 2000. Patton saw the Bulldogs capture the league’s inaugural title in dominant fashion, winning two games on the road and outscoring league competition by a combined 126-63. The Bulldogs finished the season ranked in the top-25 of all three major Division I-AA polls (now FCS), and were among the nation’s most surprising teams – finishing with the second-longest active win streak in the nation (8 games). A total of 20 student-athletes earned All-Conference honors in 2002, including Big South Offensive Player of the Year Jeremy Martin, Big South Defensive Player of the Year Mario Williams and Big South Freshman of the Year Keppy Baucom. Williams (Sports Network, 3rd Team), Martin (FB Gazette, Honorable Mention), Maxwell (FB Gazette, Honorable Mention) and Jason Bright (FB Gazette, Honorable Mention) also earned All-America honors after standout seasons, with Williams finishing among the top-10 nationally in tackles per game (12.0). Williams was the first Bulldog sophomore to earn a spot on a major All-American Team since former GWU wide receiver and NFL draftee Terry Guess in 1994. In 2001, Patton directed his ‘Dogs to their fifth straight winning season with a 6-4 mark, the first time in school history that the program had seen five straight campaigns above .500 in football. Senior Tory Atkins became the first GardnerWebb player to earn Associated Press I-AA All-America honors, landing on the organization’s second team at linebacker. The Bulldogs also won the National Christian College Athletic Association’s Victory Bowl, defeating Trinity International (Ill.), 54-14, in Boiling Springs. Against I-AA foes, the ‘Dogs were 5-3 – the second straight winning record against I-AA foes since the move up from Division II in 2000. Since inheriting a team that finished 2-9 prior to his arrival in February 1997, Patton has posted a 83-59-0 mark. In the Bulldogs’ first season at the I-AA level in 2000, Patton saw his team post a 7-4 record (4-3 vs. I-AA foes), including a thrilling, last-second win over No. 23 New Hampshire on the road. Atkins and Sam Durst each earned third-team I-AA All-American honors (FB Gazette). In addition to the 27 All-America players Patton has coached at the Division I level, former standouts Bo Shannon (1998) and Chris Mintz (1999) were each named Division II All-Americans following their senior seasons. Patton is no stranger to success. Evidence is his 137-94-1 career coaching record. That total includes a 113-82-1 record in 17 seasons at the collegiate level, which includes stops as the head coach at Mars Hill College, North Greenville College and Gardner-Webb. Patton, 56, made his head coaching debut at Mars Hill in 1985, directing the NAIA Lions to an 8-3 record and the school’s only outright SAC-8 conference crown. The smashing entrance into the head coaching ranks earned Patton National Coach of the Year honors and SAC-8 Coach of the Year honors from his peers. While at Mars Hill, 23 players were awarded All-Conference honors and current Gardner-Webb offensive coordinator Joe Pizzo was selected the 1985 SAC-8 Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Pizzo went on to play professionally with the Cleveland Browns and the World Football League’s Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks. Patton’s experience in pro football includes coaching the Charlotte Rage of the Arena Football League and the Alabama Magic and the Carolina Storm of the American Football Association. After guiding the Storm to an 11-0 record and an American Bowl National Championship, Patton added an AFA Coach of the Year award to his trophy case. He coached former Gardner-Webb All-Americans James Harbison and Rodney Robinson during his stint as head coach of the Rage. Former Gardner-Webb all-star Charlie
ASSISTANT COACHES
OC j o e PIZZO Joe Pizzo enters his 14th season with the Gardner-Webb football coaching staff and is in his 10th season as the team’s offensive coordinator. One of the brightest minds nationally on the offensive side of the football, Pizzo has shown a consistent ability to field offenses that move the football. Pizzo's offenses have a history of accomplishing success with balance between the run and pass, and with the return of All-Big South running back Patrick Hall and a host of talented receivers, the new quarterback who takes control of the offense in 2010 should have a chance to continue a strong tradition. Pizzo tutored Stan Doolittle to a first-team All-Big South Conference season in 2009, as the senior led the league in passing yardage and total offense, leading GWU to 375.7 yards per game as a team and 27.7 points per game – despite games against two FBS squads. Sophomore receiver James Perry led the league in receptions and Hall paced the circuit with 12 rushing scores. GWU averaged a solid 393.0 yards per game in 2008, and saw a pair of receiver haul in 50-plus passes – as NFL signee Dobson Collins caught 76 and redshirt freshman James Perry III caught 55 – ranking the pair one-two in the Big South statistics. A balanced unit in 2005 ranked No. 10 nationally by averaging 441.0 yards of total offense per game – and carved up opposing defenses regularly. Gardner-Webb's offense has produced effectively and consistently under Pizzo, finishing near the top of the conference statistics in each of his 13 seasons with the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs' 414.9 yards per game average in 2002 finished No. 11 nationally in total offense, and led the Big South in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense. The Bulldogs’ offense also helped the team’s turnover margin rise to No. 3 in the nation by that season’s end, committing only 13 turnovers (four interceptions, nine fumbles) in 10 games. In 2004, despite a slew of injuries and inexperience at receiver, the GWU offense produced 379.4 yards per game – with 236.6 yards coming through the air. The season finale against power Southeastern Louisiana may have been the team's finest moment of the year, as a relatively healthy bunch topped the Lions with 52 points and 433 total offensive yards en route to a big win. In 2003, quarterback Nick Roberts earned first-team All-Big South and third-team All-East honors after becoming the first signal caller in school history to complete 60 percent or more of his passes – and threw 20 touchdown passes in his first season as a starter. Roberts finished among the national top-20 in points accounted for in 2003, and led the Big South in total offense individually. Roberts set a new career-high with his 2,410 passing yards, moving into fifth on the GWU career passing chart. Big South Offensive Player of the Year and honorable mention All-America quarterback Jeremy Martin finished his career as the second-leading passer in GardnerWebb history in 2002, registering 8,025 yards and 60 scores in just three full seasons as a starter – all with Pizzo as offensive coordinator. With Campbell, Doolittle, Martin and Roberts Pizzo has tutored five of the top-10 passers in school history, along with former GWU signal caller Clint Conner – who ranks fourth all-time in passing yardage and passing touchdowns. Another of Pizzo’s pupils, wide receiver William Andrews, became the most prolific pass catcher in school history with a solid year in 2003 – finishing his career at No. 15 on the FCS (formerly I-AA) all-time receptions list with 233. Tight end Jason Bright also earned All-America honors in 2002 and became the first tight end in school history to leap into the career top-10 in receptions at GWU. In 2005, receiver Duvaughn Flagler became the fifth offensive All-America selection for Pizzo at the Division I level, after catching 55 passes and tying Andrews' Big South record with 13 touchdown receptions. Flagler finished his career tied for second in GWU history in receptions. Pizzo's success over the past several seasons has proven his balanced philosophy to be sound. In 2006, the 'Dogs averaged 264.9 yards via the pass and 176.1 on the
12 12
ground. In 2002, Gardner-Webb averaged 222 yards through the air and 193 on the ground. In 2001, when GWU posted a 10-game average of 440.7 yards per game, the Bulldogs averaged 250 passing yards per game and 190 on the ground. In his first season at GWU, Pizzo directed a 1997 offense that averaged 360 yards of total offense per game and registered over 2,000 yards rushing. Quarterback Clint Conner passed for 20 touchdowns and 1,874 yards that season while completing 54.9 percent of his pass attempts. Since Pizzo’s arrival on campus, no starting quarterback has completed less than 50.3 percent of his pass attempts – an impressive statistic. In 2002, Martin completed an amazing 59.2 percent of his passes, while throwing for 2,166 yards and 17 touchdowns with only four interceptions. In 2003, Roberts was an efficient 203-for-338 (60.1 percent) for 2,201 yards and 20 touchdowns with only 12 interceptions. Roberts on 57.1 percent of his passes in 2004. Current starter Doolittle ranks as the Bulldogs' career leader in completion percentage. Prior to joining the Bulldogs’ staff, Pizzo had spent time as the offensive coordinator under current GWU coach Steve Patton with the Arena Football League’s Charlotte Rage in 1992 and 1993. He was an offensive assistant at Mars Hill College in 1988 and 1989, handling duties with the Lions’ quarterbacks and receivers. Pizzo played for Patton at Mars Hill, earning South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year and AllAmerica honors in 1985. He was inducted into the Mars Hill Athletics Hall of Fame in November, 2007. Pizzo led the Lions to the 1985 SAC-8 championship and graduated from the school in 1987 with school records for passing attempts in a single game (49), touchdown passes in a single season (16) and most total offense in a single season (2,080 yards). He signed a free-agent contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers and joined the Cleveland Browns in 1987 – and signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts in 1991. Pizzo also spent time with the Detroit Lions, and started for the Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks of the World League of American Football. Pizzo and his wife, Dana, have one daughter, Stetson.
RB chri sFOSTER Former Bulldog Chris Foster enters his seventh season with the GWU coaching staff, and will hit the field for the sixth year as a full-time assistant coach in charge of the Gardner-Webb running backs. Foster is also in charge of monitoring the team's academic progress throughout the season, and is considered one of the program's top recruiters on an annual basis. Foster has been a key factor in the development of All-Big South runner Patrick Hall, which led to Hall leading the league with 12 touchdowns last season One of the toughest backs to play for Gardner-Webb, Foster saw Jermaine Boston earn first-team All-Big South honors in 2005, the first GWU rusher to do so since Foster in 2002. Boston and classmate George Pressley each finished among the top-12 rushers in GWU history, with Boston edging Foster for sixth on that chart. Two of his 2009 graduates – Peoples and Montgomery – are career 1,000-yard rushers, as is Hall. One of only two multiple CoSIDA Academic All-District selections in GWU football history, Foster spent the 2004 season as a volunteer assistant coach with the team's running backs. A native of Chesnee, S.C., Foster was a two-time All-Big South Conference choice, earning second-team honors in 2003 after rushing for a career-high 923 yards. A firstteam All-Conference choice in 2002, Foster finished his career as the No. 6 rusher in GWU history with 1,883 career yards and 13 career rushing touchdowns – and now stands seventh on that list. Foster graduated in December, 2004, with a degree in Physical Education with a teaching certificate. Foster and his wife, Tiffany, have one daughter, Journei.
WR i anCOOPER Ian Cooper is in his seventh overall season as an assistant with the GardnerWebb University football program, including his fourth in a row after spending a year with the Arena League's Columbus Destroyers. Cooper will also serve as the team's special teams coordinator for the first time in 2010, a crucial role he is well suited to handle.

ASSISTANT COACHES
Cooper, 35, is in his second stint with the GWU program, having served as the team’s wide receivers coach in 2005 and as outside linebackers coach from 2003-2004. He has helped develop some of the top receivers in recent memory at Gardner-Webb. Since returning in 2007, Cooper has continued a fine tradition of producing standout wide receivers – including NFL free agent signee Dobson Collins, who also earned All-America honors in 2008, and rising junior James Perry III, who led the Big South with 61 catches in 2009, and hauled in 55 balls in 2008. A native of Calgary, Alberta, Cooper served under Coach Doug Kay in Columbus, assisting with the Destroyers’ defense during the 2006 season. Cooper helped oversee a drastic improvement on that side of the football, as the Destroyers improved from near the bottom of the league’s defensive rankings in 2005 to finish second in the league in pass defense efficiency, second in scoring defense and fourth in rushing defense. One former Gardner-Webb player, fullback Harold Wells, finished as the franchise's career leading rusher. Prior to joining Columbus’ staff, Cooper helped Gardner-Webb rank No. 11 nationally in total offense in 2005, with receiver Duvaughn Flagler earning All-America honors under Cooper’s guidance. Flagler finished his career No. 2 on the Bulldogs career receiving list and teamed with Collins to become just the second tandem in GWU history to catch 50 passes each in a season. Cooper coached current NFL linebacker Jim Maxwell in 2003 at Gardner-Webb, as GWU’s defense ranked among the Big South Conference’s best en route to a league championship. Maxwell, currently playing with the Cincinnati Bengals, recorded 116 total hits, 15 tackles for loss and 16 quarterback pressures that season. In 2004, Cooper got his first taste of AFL football, serving as defensive coordinator with the Tulsa Talons of AFL2. Cooper also coordinated the defense for the Billings (Mont.) Outlaws in 2001 and 2002. Billings advanced to the league championship game in 2001. Cooper’s first stint at Gardner-Webb came after five seasons on staff at his alma mater, Rocky Mountain (Mont.) College. Cooper earned a degree in Exercise Science from Rocky Mountain, where he was a four-year letterwinner at outside linebacker from 1994-1998. He was an All-Frontier Conference choice and team MVP in 1997 and 1998. A graduate of Crescent Heights High in Calgary, Cooper is married to the former Allison Royster. The couple resides in Fallston, N.C.

All-America honors, with Johnston a consensus choice. Windham spent the previous 11 seasons as head coach at Sewanee, University of the South. He was named the SCAC Coach of the Year in 2005 after leading his Tigers to a 5-5 record and thirdplace finish. Windham’s 2000 team tied for the Division III league’s championship, which was Sewanee’s first title in eight seasons. Windham saw his Sewanee teams record a combined 22 interceptions over his final two seasons in 20 games. A native of Gallatin, Tenn., Windham was a four-year starter at defensive end for Vanderbilt (1982-85), and graduated in 1986 with a degree in exercise science. Windham signed a one-year contract with the NFL’s New England Patriots as an outside linebacker in 1986. An 18-year coaching veteran on the college level, Windham started his career at Division II Livingston (West Alabama) in 1987 as the team’s defensive ends coach. Livingston led the strong Gulf South Conference in total defense that season. Windham moved up to the SEC ranks as a graduate assistant from 1988-89, working with the offensive line at Mississippi State, then landed his first coordinator position at Colorado College – where he served in that role from 1990-1995. He was named head coach at Sewanee prior to the 1996 season, and led the Tigers to a third-place finish in the SCAC in his first year. He and his wife, Heather, have three children, Maizy, Woods and Judd.
OL k r is KING Kris King is in his first season as a full-time assistant with the Gardner-Webb University football program, but is very familiar with the Runnin' Bulldogs. He will coach the team's offensive line in 2010. King returns to his alma mater as offensive line coach after spending the 2009 season as a video assistant at UAB. King spent the 2007 and 2008 seasons working as a graduate assistant at Gardner-Webb, assisting with the offensive line and coaching the team’s tight ends during that time. He helped current GWU starter Josh Miller earn All-Big South Conference honors at tight end in 2008 before heading to UAB, and spent two seasons as a graduate assistant coach with Gardner-Webb. The Elberton, Ga., native was a four-year starter for the Runnin’ Bulldogs at tackle and center, earning All-Big South Conference and All-America honors in 2006 at center. King earned second-team All-Big South honors in 2005, despite missing the final four games of the season with an injury. Following his playing career with the Runnin’ Bulldogs, King was honored with a roster spot on Team USA for the American Football World Cup in Kawasaki, Japan – helping the U.S. squad to a 23-20 double overtime victory in the title game. He starred at Elbert County (Ga.) High before signing with Gardner-Webb, earning first-team All-State honors as an offensive lineman following his senior season.
DC j oh n WINDHAM John Windham is in his fourth season with the Gardner-Webb football program as Defensive Coordinator, building the Runnin' Bulldogs into an annual contender for top honors in total defense in the Big South Conference. For the past three seasons, Gardner-Webb has finished first or second in the Big South Conference defensively, and his units the past two seasons have been particularly tough against the run. In 2008, Windham's defense was one of the nation's toughest units in stopping rushing attacks. The group held a league-record six consecutive opponents to less than 100 yards rushing to start the season, including limiting eventual bowl participant Georgia Tech to a scant 79 yards and no scores on the ground on October 11. Linebacker Jeffery Williams earned FCS All-America honors, and was named the Big South's Defensive Player of the Year. In 2007 GWU led the Big South Conference in total defense and ranked No. 34 nationally in fewest yards allowed. Defensive end Brian Johnston, linebacker Mario Brown and cornerback Ced McGowan each earned

LB tra vi sCUNNINGHAM Former Bulldog linebacker Travis Cunningham is in his 10th season on the Gardner-Webb coaching staff, and remains in charge of the Bulldogs' linebackers, traditionally one of the team's best position groups. Cunningham has helped mold that group into one of the nation's best, with Marty Patterson earning preseason All-America honors in 2010, and Jeffery Williams and Mario Brown earning spots on several All-America teams as the Gardner-Webb defense has improved over the past three seasons. Williams, Brown and Patterson, have earned All-Big South Conference honors under Cunningham's watch – and all three have been preseason Big South Defensive Player of the Year once. A young, organized coach with a sound understanding of the game, Cunningham also coordinates the Bulldogs' recruiting efforts. In 2005, he coached the GWU safeties, mentoring All-Big South Conference selection Daniel Cooke, who led the Bulldogs with 99 tackles and four interceptions. Cunningham also coached the team's linebackers in 2003 and 2004, and spent the 2001-2002 seasons as a student assistant linebackers' coach when GWU utilized a four-linebacker scheme. During his time with the Bulldog inside linebackers, Cunningham saw Keppy Baucom earn All-Big South honors three times in as many seasons, with Baucom leading the 2004 Bulldogs with 90 total tackles. His 2003 unit, spearheaded by Baucom, Jonathan Little, Adam Wagner and J.P. Weaver, developed into one of the region's most consistent and effective groups. Under Cunningham’s guidance in 2002, Baucom earned first-team All-Big South honors and was named Big South Freshman of the Year after leading the league’s rookies with 75 total tackles. Cunningham, a native of Knoxville, Tenn., played two seasons at Gardner-Webb, making his mark as a long snapper and as a hard-nosed special teams coverage man. Prior to enrolling at Gardner-Webb, Cunningham was a standout in football and baseball at Powell (Tenn.) High in Knoxville. Cunningham graduated from Gardner-Webb in August, 2003, with an undergraduate degree in Physical Education. He and his wife, the former Kelly King, reside in Boiling Springs.

Complete with individual showers, easy access to the GWU equipment room and a wealth of space, the locker room is a tremendous addition to the Gardner-Webb football program.

A crowning jewel of the new GWU Football Center was the state-of-the-art Athletic Training Facility, located adjacent to the football locker room on the first floor. A base of operations for one of the University's fastest growing academic majors, the 1,500-square foot facility also houses top flight equipment for treatment, rehabilitation and other areas of need for GardnerWebb student-athletes.

The primary addition to Spangler Stadium – the GWU Football Center – houses the new weight room, athletic training facility, coaches' offices, a 2,600-square foot room for team meetings, a future Hall of Fame and several areas utilized for position meetings and film review. The main team room, located on the first floor, divides into two separate areas that allow different groups to meet at the same time without limiting privacy.
66
67
The second floor of the Football Center houses modern offices for the coaching staff, in addition to a large conference room and two video breakdown rooms – one for offense and one for defense. The Letterman's room, also located on the second floor, is a gathering place for former players on game days.

ABOUT GWU
DR. A. FRANK BONNER
Dr. A. Frank Bonner, in his sixth year as the president of GardnerWebb University, took office on May 2, 2005, and was inaugurated on April 6, 2006. Bonner is no stranger to Gardner-Webb, having been a part of the University family since 1987. A native of Greenville, S.C., Bonner graduated from Furman University in 1969, has a M.A. degree from the University of Georgia and earned a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was a faculty member and Associate Dean at Anderson College in Anderson, S.C., prior to beginning his career in Boiling Springs as Vice President for Academic Affairs. In 1992, Bonner was promoted to provost and senior vice president at Gardner-Webb, a post he held until assuming his current role in 2005. After a comprehensive, national search for the university’s new president, chairman of the presidential search committee and the board of trustees, Frank Beam, said, “We came to the conclusion that we had the most qualified candidate right here at the university.” Bonner succeeded Dr. Frank Campbell, who served Gardner-Webb University as president from October, 2002 until June, 2005. Active in civic life and in the community, Bonner has served on the boards of the United Way, the YMCA, and Communities in Schools, and he serves on the Cleveland County Sports Commission. He is a past chairman of the Cleveland County Chamber, a past president of the Shelby Rotary Club, and a Sunday School teacher and deacon at First Baptist Church in Shelby. Bonner is also a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. During Bonner’s time as provost, Gardner-Webb emerged
118
as a vibrant institution for higher learning, officially moving from college to university in 1993. The institution’s academic reputation has steadily improved during Bonner’s time in Boiling Springs, with a tremendous faculty and consistently evolving curriculum. Bonner is married to the former Florence “Flossie” Black of Chester, S.C., also a graduate of Furman University. They are parents of two adult daughters and four grandchildren.
CHUCK BURCH
Gardner-Webb alumnus Chuck Burch is in his 14th year as Vice President for Athletics and his 29th year in athletics administration. The Charlotte, N.C., native spearheaded the Bulldogs move into Division I athletics, which resulted in Gardner-Webb’s addition to the Big South Conference as an associate member for football in 2001, and GWU's move to the Big South as a full member – which became official on July 1, 2008. Burch oversees all athletic operations at Gardner-Webb, including management and supervision of athletic programs, facilities and budgets. During his career at GWU, Burch has overseen across-the-board improvements in athletics facilities and the addition of five new sports since arriving in 1997. A sixth sport, men's swimming, was added in 2007-08. Burch is also responsible for continued improvements in the quality and quantity of Gardner-Webb’s athletics staff – with a number of full-time positions created to assist and enhance the entire department. GWU athletics has seen a steady increase in academic performance since Burch's arrival, and the department has posted a combined GPA above 3.0 in each of the last three academic years. Gardner-Webb's final year in the Atlantic Sun Conference was fruitful, with several notable wins and the usual high number of strong academic performances by the Bulldogs' student-athletes. GWU enjoyed its most successful athletics year as a Division I member in 2006-07. Gardner-Webb won its first Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Championship, unseating Belmont University for the title. The Bulldogs also finished third in the men's and women's combined sports standings – a very impressive effort in the race for the inaugural Bill Bibb Trophy. Gardner-Webb's men's soccer team captured the imagination of fans across Cleveland County during its run to the 2006 A-Sun
Championship and NCAA Tournament second round. National qualifiers in Track & Field, swimming and wrestling highlighted competitive success for the Bulldogs in 2006-2007. Burch, a graduate of Independence (N.C.) High in Charlotte, and former member of Gardner-Webb’s football and tennis teams, spent 1991-1997 as Director of Athletics at Liberty (Va.) University, and was instrumental in a successful and well run department in Lynchburg as well. He also served Liberty as Associate Director of Athletics (1988-1990), Assistant Director of Athletics (1984-1988), Sports Information Director (1986-1988) and Assistant Director of Sports Information (1982-1984). After graduating from Gardner-Webb in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in Social Science, Burch, 53, earned his master's degree from Eastern Kentucky University in 1982. His wife, Franki, holds a Ph.D. in Health Education from the University of Virginia, and is a member of the faculty at Gardner-Webb. The couple has three children, Travis, a 2009 graduate of Furman University; Danielle, a junior soccer player at Brevard (N.C.) College and Amy (16).
