Eddie George To Retain 4 Coaches

Eddie George To Retain 4 Coaches


    4 BG Coaches Reported to be Retained

    According to Football Scoop, Eddie George is retaining Greg Nosal, Derrick Jackson, Brian White, and Alex Bayer from Coach Loeffler's staff. 


    Alex Bayer in my opinion was a must keep for the new staff. A former player who won the 2013 MAC Championship with BG and had a cup of coffee in the NFL, he was coaching special teams and tight ends. The special teams was fantastic over the past 4 years under Loeffler and this staff and Harold Fannin just had BG's first All-American season under Bayer and so this move made all the sense in the world. Derrick Jackson coached this secondary that had the most takeaways in all of FBS, Greg Nosal has done a great job with the O line and co coordinating the offense. Nosal has been here for the rebuild, joining the Falcons in 2020. Brian White joined in 2022 and was a long time Loeffler guy at Florida and BC and he seems to be beloved by the locker room. I think these 4 coaches made a ton of sense to keep. 

    Final Thoughts?


    This was very smart by Eddie George. As he has said, this is a tweak not a rebuild. This team just went 6-2 in MAC play. There is ZERO reason to gut this staff and I would have been upset if at least 2 coaches were not retained. In the transfer portal era things are more fluid but a lot of players are staying and also George has only been coaching since 2021. The biggest mistake a young coach can make (looking at you Mike Jinks) is not surrounding yourself with veteran coaches who can use their 20 years in the business to at least keep this team from cratering like it did under Jinks.

Transfer Portal 2025

                                  Transfer Portal 2025     The transfer portal in my opinion is fun, good for players, and actually helps a school like Bowling Green.      The portal also has so many opportunities for different players. You have studs from the G5 move up to the SEC, P5 backups dropping down to start at G5 schools. You have FCS starters jumping up to FBS, also FCS backups who would rather be a backup at a FBS school. Many casual fans do not realize how valuable depth guys are and scout team players truly make big differences in practice. Even G5 guys would rather be a backup at an SEC school. So in my mind, the portal is a plus value.      This list may not be 100% accurate but is updated to the best of my knowledge. I am going to give my opinions on each player, not meaning any disrespect but just an honest assessment of each player...

Coach Loeffler Leaves Bowling Green

Coach Loeffler Leaves Bowling Green Personal Thoughts      I am so thankful for Coach Loeffler. On a personal note, he was always super kind to me, a lowly alumni trying to cover my team with my tiny little blog. When Coach Loeffler started following me on twitter and retweeting some of my tweets he gave me a lot of credit to other coaches, players, and media types. After my next training with the Army and Ranger school I will finally set up my own website and my growth is due in part to Coach Loeffler's kindness to me and his interview. Scot was super dedicated to the kids, the coaches, and put his 100% effort into rebuilding this football program for all of BG nation.  Football Thoughts      This stinks for BG Football. BG has gotten better every year and is now firmly a top tier school in the MAC. We beat bad teams and battle the good teams. Coach Loeffler also just posted our school's best conference record since 2015 and had Texas AM and Penn Stat...
