BOB JOHNSON FOR CONGRESS issued the following announcement on May 27.

Bob DeBesse has made several trips to Texas to be with his family the past few months. From his mother passing away to seeing his 9-month-old grandson, the offensive coordinator is grateful for this bonding time with his family that otherwise would have been spent on the recruiting trail.

Through this pandemic and uncertainty, DeBesse and the rest of the Georgia Southern football staff spend their days talking with recruits, holding team meetings on Zoom and finding time to unwind with family.

“There will be a lot to look back on,” DeBesse said during a videoconference call with media on Tuesday, May 26. “During this particular time, we all will have our cherished stories.”

Cabral compared these last few months to “Groundhog Day,” saying that most every day is about the same and a lot of the coaches said similar things.

And as excited as they are to get back on the practice fields at Eagle Creek, the coaches understand that safety is the utmost priority.

“If there’s ever been a time that we rely on the expertise of medical people ... I’m glad that if it happens, it’s good to get back to activities,” DeBesse said. “If the medical people say we can (return to football) safely and create a safe environment, I’m anxious to get going.”
