Interim Athletic Director named at JSU

Greg Seitz

Jacksonville State University Senior Associate Athletic Director Greg Seitz was named Thursday afternoon as  interim athletic director at Jacksonville State University.

JSU President Dr. William A. Meehan says Seitz will serve in the position until the university's new president hires someone to replace Warren Koegel, who announced his resignation and retirement plans Oct. 22 after spending the last three-plus years as the Gamecocks' athletic director.

Seitz previously has served as interim athletic director twice over the last four years.

In not naming a permanent replacement for Koegel, Meehan noted the new president would make the decision when he or she is selected and takes over in the summer.

Seitz became JSU's sports information director in 1999, and was promoted to associate athletic director in 2002, before stepping into the senior associate AD position in 2011.

Seitz also handles game day operations for football, basketball and baseball.
