BOWLING GREEN — The Falcons' football team has fallen on hard times since winning the Mid-American Conference in 2015, having gone 12-36 in the past four years. The downfall started at the administrative level, and the current administration and new coaching staff has spent the past 18 months trying to undo the damage and repair the program to a championship level once again.
Though Bowling Green's roster construction slacked even before former director of athletics Chris Kingston hired Texas Tech assistant Mike Jinks in late 2015, the Falcons were not short on NFL talent during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
