BOWLING GREEN — The Bowling Green State University football program announced Sunday that associate head coach and defensive coordinator Perry Eliano will not return next season.

“I appreciate the work that Perry and his family did for the University,” BG coach Mike Jinks said in a statement. “At this time, I feel that we need to move in a different direction. We wish Perry success in his future endeavors.”

The statement also said that the search for Eliano’s replacement would begin immediately.

Statistically the Falcons had one of the worst defenses in the country last season.
