Former Georgia AD, Evans Surfaces at Savannah St.
Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 10:02PM Damon Evans has been hired as a consultant for the Savannah State athletic department, according to a report in the Savannah Morning News. Evans, a former Georgia athletic director, will assess the department following the firing of Marilynn Suggs on Wednesday. This means Evans has to be thought of as the leading candidate to replace Suggs at the struggling D-1 school.
Evans resigned from his UGA position amid scandal last July, days after he was arrested for driving under the influence. Evans pleaded guilty to the DUI charge, was fined $750 and served a one-year probation. At one time, Evans was regarded as one of the best young AD's in the country.
Evans and his family moved to Boston after he left Georgia.
Savannah State men’s basketball coach Horace Broadnax was named interim athletic director this week following the firing of Suggs.
Officials said there is no timetable for hiring a new AD.
