Eddie George, who led Tennessee State to a share of the Big South/OVC championship in 2024, has been hired to be the next head coach at Bowling Green.

ESPN senior college football writer Pete Thamel reported George — one of three finalists for the job — has signed a 5-year contract to be the school’s new coach.

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.
