Multiple sources have confirmed to ESI that Bryan Cook is set to take over the Georgia Southern offensive attack in 2017.

Bryan Cook has served as Georgia Tech quarterbacks and B-backs coach the last four years and before his stint at GS he was the co-offensive coordinator at Cal Poly from 2009-2012.

Under Cook's watch, Georgia Tech led the nation in rushing offense in 2014 with 4,789 rushing yards, averaging 342.1 yards per game. Both marks shattered the previous school records. B-Backs Laskey (851) and Days (924) accounted for 1,775 of Tech's 4,789 total rushing yards as well as 18 total rushing touchdowns (nine each).

The Jackets also led the nation in third-down conversion percentage and passing yards per completion. Georgia Tech led the ACC in 11 offensive categories in 2014. In 2013, Cook saw the Georgia Tech offense put up huge numbers en route to a 17th consecutive bowl game appearance. The Yellow Jackets ranked sixth nationally in rushing, tied for fourth in third-down percentage and led the nation in yards per pass completion. Tech produced 48 rushing touchdowns, tying Oregon for the most nationally. The Jackets had 41 rushing plays of 20 yards or more, second only to Oregon (43).

Cook tutored a pair of young quarterbacks -- sophomore Vad Lee and redshirt freshman Thomas -- who combined for 747 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns. Senior B-back David Sims, who finished his career ranked 11th in Georgia Tech history for rushing yards, earned honorable mention All-ACC honors. Junior Zach Laskey eclipsed 1,000 career rushing yards in 2013.

Cook is an ideal fit for the Eagles coaching staff after working with a similar style offense at Georgia Tech/Cal Poly. Georgia Southern wants to get back to rushing the football more efficiently and Cook has the ideal pedigree to get them back on track.

Cal Poly finished 9-3 in 2012 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA FCS playoffs. The Mustangs, who were 7-1 in their first year in the Big Sky Conference, compiled a record of 26-19 in Cook's four seasons.

Under Cook's guidance, who also coached the Cal Poly quarterbacks and fullbacks, the Mustangs ranked third nationally in 2012 in FCS rushing offense (324.2 yards per game), seventh in scoring offense (36.7 ppg) and first in pass efficiency (175.7).

At Ithaca, Cook lettered in both football and lacrosse, earning all-conference honors in lacrosse as a defenseman. Cook was a starting strong safety on the gridiron when Ithaca captured ECAC championships in 1996 and 1998.
