Former Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George is heading back to Ohio after agreeing to a five-year contract to become the head coach at Bowling Green, ESPN reported on Sunday.
George, 51, has posted a 24-22 record over the past four seasons as the head coach at FCS Tennessee State. He led the Tigers to a share of the OVC-Big South title in the 2024 season following a 9-4 record, marking the school's first league title in football since 1999.
George was named Big South/OVC coach of the year and was the runner-up for the Eddie Robinson national coach of the year.
George replaces Scot Loeffler, who resigned from Bowling Green to become quarterbacks coach of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 28. The Falcons were 7-6 in 2024 and 27-41 with three bowl game appearances during Loeffler's six seasons with the team.
George will return to the Buckeye State, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1995 with Ohio State.
George continued his success in the NFL, becoming the Tennessee Titans' franchise leading rusher with 10,009 yards.
A four-time Pro Bowl selection, George rushed for 10,441 yards and 68 touchdowns in 141 career games (136 starts) with the Houston Oilers/Titans (1996-2003) and Dallas Cowboys (2004).
