Gardner-Webb University fires head football coach Kris McCullough after just one game with the program. Multiple outlets report the school suspends him first while an “off the field” investigation is underway, then terminates his contract within about two days.
The reports describe the move as occurring early in his first season at Gardner-Webb, where he is in place only briefly. The Oregonian and Yahoo Sports frame the decision around his tenure and the investigation, while noting the rapid sequence from suspension to dismissal. The Post similarly highlights that it is “one and done” for McCullough. The Winnipeg Free Press also characterizes the firing as taking place after he coaches only a single game.
Across the coverage, the central shared details are that McCullough is suspended pending investigation, does not remain long enough to lead multiple games, and his contract is ended soon after the investigation begins. Specific allegations are not detailed in the provided summaries, but all outlets connect the dismissal to the ongoing inquiry.
