JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — East Tennessee State fired football coach George Quarles after finishing the season with a 3-8 record. Athletic director Richard Sander made the announcement Sunday, a day after the Buccaneers beat The Citadel 35-23 for a 2-6 mark in the Southern Conference. Sander said he informed Quarles that the program needs to go in a different direction. Quarles was hired as head coach in December 2021 after five seasons at Furman. The Bucs won six games in his two seasons.
