Eddie George aims to 'enhance' football program at Bowling Green

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- Eddie George was pondering the next steps in his burgeoning career as a college football coach while driving back from the NFL scouting combine.

He got a sign in the most unlikely of places.

George was driving through Bowling Green, Kentucky, on his way back to Nashville when he received a text from Urban Meyer asking if George would be interested in returning to Ohio and being the coach at Bowling Green.

After a couple weeks of discussions, George was formally introduced on Monday as the 21st head coach in school history.
