Places and people often have a funny way of finding paths back to each other over the course of time.
Former Ohio State running back Eddie George experienced this exact phenomenon just last weekend.
Roughly 15 years after his retirement from the NFL with a few media credits along the way ranging from Big Ten Network to Broadway, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner finally got his football coaching career started in 2021 at Tennessee State. George earned the Big South-OVC Coach of the Year Award for his team's 9-4 effort during his fourth season. A few months later, he would make the jump to the FBS ranks after accepting a job once held by Urban Meyer in the form of the head coaching position at Bowling Green State University.
