An Ohio State legend could be returning to the Buckeye State as a FBS head coach.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Saturday that former Ohio State running back Eddie George has emerged as a top target for Bowling Green’s head coaching vacancy. A final decision is expected in the near future, per Thamel, who reported that George was one of three finalists interviewed Friday.
George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner, has been the head coach at Tennessee State since 2021. He’s gone 24-22 in four years as the Tigers’ head coach, having his most successful season so far this past year, leading TSU to a 9-4 record, a Big South co-championship and a berth in the FCS playoffs.
