Pennington was named head coach in the Spring of 2017 and promptly proceeded to lead the program to its first winning season in a decade.
In his first season as head coach, the Yellow Jackets hit statistical milestones that were unheard of prior to his arrival.

Additionally, his team ranked first in the Mountain East Conference (MEC) in completion percentage, third down conversions, and passing yards per game. They placed second in the MEC in total offense, first downs, and scoring per game.
