NFL legend Eddie George agrees to become Bowling Green's next head coach job: report
Eddie George, a Heisman Trophy winner, spent the past four years as the Tennessee State coach. But he is leaving to take the head coaching job at Bowling Green, per reports.
Bowling Green conducted an interview with George on Friday, per ESPN.
Tennessee State experienced success under George. The Tigers punched their ticket to the FCS playoffs this past season, which marked the program's first playoff berth since 2013.
George spent the majority of his professional football career with the Titans, before closing out his time in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys. He has 10,441 career rushing yards and remains the Titans' all-time rushing leader.
George's tenure at TSU is in line with a trend of NFL greats taking on head coaching jobs at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), before making the leap to a school that competes at the FBS level.
Meanwhile, former Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick was recently named the next head coach at Norfolk State and DeSean Jackson will coach the Delaware State football team this upcoming season.
