The Panthers were led by third year head coach Bill Curry and played their home games at the Georgia Dome. Georgia State was a full member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), but announced on April 9, 2012 that it would return to the Sun Belt Conference, which it had left in 1981, in July 2013. In advance of this move, the Panthers began a transition to Division I FBS in 2012. As a result of these moves, the 2012 season was the first and only year that they competed in the CAA for football. Although not qualifying, they were ineligible for the FCS playoffs as a transitional FBS team. The Panthers finished the season 1–10, 1–7 in CAA play. Season summary The 2012 season was the first and only season that Georgia State participated as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association. Beginning 2013, the Panthers will compete as an FBS transitional team as a part of the Sun Belt Conference. During the August 30 season opener against South Carolina State University, sophomore punter Matt Hubbard made the equivalent of an FCS and FBS single game punting distance average record of 62.2 yards. However, due to GSU's reclassifying status, it is neither considered FBS nor FCS, and therefore the record does not count in either of those categories.Hubbard's Remarkable Night http://www.georgiastatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=205672270&DB_OEM_ID=12700 Georgia State Athletics September 1, 2012 This season marked Bill Curry's final year as a college football head coach.Roberson Doug Retiring Bill Curry: "I want to finish this contract and finish it well" http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-state-sports/2012/08/14/legendary-curry-to-retire-after-2012-gsu-season/ Atlanta Journal-Constitution 18 November 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121124065828/http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-state-sports/2012/08/14/legendary-curry-to-retire-after-2012-gsu-season/ 2012-11-24 dead He was replaced by Trent Miles, former Indiana State head coach.Roberson Doug Answering your questions about new Georgia State coach Trent Miles http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-state-sports/2012/12/03/answering-your-questions-about-new-georgia-state-coach-trent-miles/ Atlanta Journal-Constitution 6 December 2012 https://archive.today/20130116143200/http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-state-sports/2012/12/03/answering-your-questions-about-new-georgia-state-coach-trent-miles/ 16 January 2013 dead dmy-all Schedule 2012 NCAA Division I FCS The Sports Network Eastern August 30 7:30 p.m. l y South Carolina State Georgia Dome Atlanta, GA CSS 6–33 18,921 September 8 4:00 p.m. l y y Tennessee 23 (FBS) Neyland Stadium Knoxville, TN Tennessee PPV, ESPN3 13–51 87,821 September 15 6:00 p.m. l y UTSA Georgia Dome Atlanta, GA 14–38 11,496 September 22 3:30 p.m. l Richmond Georgia Dome Atlanta, GA 14–35 9,476 September 29 7:00 p.m. l y William & Mary Zable Stadium Williamsburg, VA CSS 3–35 11,125 October 6 3:30 p.m. l New Hampshire 14 Georgia Dome Atlanta, GA 21–44 9,531 October 13 1:00 p.m. w y Rhode Island Meade Stadium Kingston, RI 41–7 6,013 October 20 3:30 p.m. l y Villanova 24 Georgia Dome Atlanta, GA 24–49 12,136 October 27 3:30 p.m. l y James Madison 9 Bridgeforth Stadium Harrisonburg, VA 21–28 22,813 November 3 3:30 p.m. l Old Dominion 5 Georgia Dome Atlanta, GA 27–53 12,293 November 10 2:00 p.m. l y Maine Alfond Stadium Orono, ME 7–51 2,979 Football - 2012 Schedule http://www.georgiastatesports.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=12700&SPID=5671&SPSID=53628 georgiastatesports.com March 5, 2012 Coaching staff Name Position Seasons atGeorgia St Alma mater Bill Curry Head coach 2 Georgia Tech (1964) George Pugh Associate head coach, Wide receivers, Recruiting Coordinator 2 Alabama (1975) Anthony Midget Defensive coordinator, Safeties 2 Virginia Tech (1999) John Bond Offensive coordinator, Quarterbacks 2 Arkansas (1985) Jason French Cornerbacks, Outside linebackers 2 Murray State (2001) Joe Hamilton Running Backs 2 Georgia Tech (2008) Craig Harmon Tight Ends 2 Quincy (2002) Mike Riddle Offensive line 2 Kentucky (1999) Chris Ward Defensive tackles 2 Kentucky (1996) Ryan Zimmerman Defensive Ends 2 Piedmont College (2009)Reference:http://www.georgiastatesports.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=12700&SPID=5671&SPSID=53626 Football – Coaching Staff georgiastatesports.com February 5, 2012 Defensive coordinator John Thompson was hired by Arkansas State in February 2012.Thompson Named DC at Arkansas State http://www.georgiastatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=53624&SPID=5671&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=205386732&DB_OEM_ID=12700 georgiastatesports.com March 5, 2012 He was replaced by Anthony Midget, the former special teams coach.Midget Elevated to Defensive coordinator http://www.georgiastatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=53624&SPID=5671&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=205394848&DB_OEM_ID=12700 georgiastatesports.com March 5, 2012 References Georgia State Category:Georgia State Panthers football seasons Georgia State Panthers football
