According to reporting from Pete Thamel of ESPN, Tennessee State head coach Eddie George is being targeted by Bowling Green to fill their head coach vacancy after the departure of head coach Scott Loeffler. Loeffler abruptly left the program on February 28 after six seasons, compiling a 27-41 record and leading the Falcons to bowl games the past three seasons to become quarterbacks coach with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Coach George has helmed the Tennessee State program for the past four seasons. This past season he guided the Tigers to a 9-4 record, the most for the program since 2013, a share of the OVC crown, the first since 1999, and a berth in the FCS Playoffs. Coach George was also named Big South-OVC Coach of the Year.
Earlier in the offseason, George had been linked to Kennesaw State, who reportedly had interest in the Tigers head coach. He also interviewed with the Chicago Bears for their head coach opening.
