Eddie George Named Bowling Green Head Coach

Eddie George, former NFL star and Heisman Trophy winner, has been appointed as the new head coach of Bowling Green State University. Previously the head coach at Tennessee State, George led the Tigers to their first FCS playoff appearance since 2013 and a share of the OVC-Big South title in 2024. He replaces Scot Loeffler, who left to join the Philadelphia Eagles as a quarterbacks coach. George's move to Bowling Green marks a return to Ohio, where he achieved collegiate success at Ohio State. The decision followed discussions initiated by Urban Meyer and extensive candidate evaluations by Bowling Green's athletic director. George aims to replicate his success at Tennessee State, acknowledging the challenges ahead as he assembles his coaching staff.
