Bowling Green is set to bring Eddie George back to the state of Ohio.
The former Ohio State Heisman winner, who has done an impressive job rebuilding the Tennessee State (FCS) program, has reached an agreement to become the new head coach of the Falcons, sources tell FootballScoop.
We shared yesterday in our update on Bowling Green's search that George had emerged as a serious contender for the lone remaining opening in FBS football.
At Tennessee State, George has rebuilt the program quickly, notching back-to-back winning seasons. His 15 wins the past two seasons are the most for the program dating back to the 2012-13 seasons.
The success at the FCS level led to an opportunity to interview for the open Chicago Bears job this off season.
At Bowling Green, he replaces Scot Loeffler, who left for the Eagles quarterbacks job after a 7-6 campaign and bowl trip.
Pete Thamel adds that George's deal is for five-years.
