George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner, has been the head coach at Tennessee State since 2021. He’s gone 24-22 in four years as the Tigers’ head coach, having his most successful season so far this past year, leading TSU to a 9-4 record, a Big South co-championship and a berth in the FCS playoffs.
Bowling Green is looking for a new head coach to replace Scot Loeffler, who left Bowling Green last week to become the Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterbacks coach. According to Football Scoop, other candidates for the job include UMass offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian, Oklahoma State quarterbacks coach Kevin Johns and Minnesota co-defensive coordinator Nick Monroe.
