Eddie George hired as Bowling Green's football coach

Bowling Green's new football head coach, Eddie George, was hired just before spring practice begins. Athletic Director Derek van der Merwe believes this timing allows George to build relationships with players while they are still enrolled in school. The Falcons will start spring practice next week, slightly later than planned. George aims to establish a strong foundation and communication with the team during the limited practice sessions before the transfer portal opens on April 16. George expressed optimism about the upcoming practices, emphasizing the importance of focus and teamwork. He aims to create a committed coaching staff and retain players during this transition period.
