Eddie George, who led Tennessee State to a share of the Big South/OVC championship in 2024, is reportedly a target for an FBS head coach position.

In his fourth season leading TSU, George guided the team to a 9-4 overall record and a share of their first OVC conference championship since 1999. TSU also made the FCS playoffs for the first time since 2013, giving 2023 FCS runner-up Montana a scare before falling 41-27.

In January, George was one of 17 head coach candidates interviewed by the Chicago Bears before the team ultimately hired Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

In 2021, George signed a five-year contract with TSU for an annual salary of $400,000, which included up to $100,000 per year in incentives.
