The Eddie George era at Tennessee State University has come to an end after a four-year run by the former NFL running back. Multiple published reports have George leaving the HBCU coaching ranks to take over as the head coach of Bowling Green University.

If George accepts the Bowling Green job, he would become the latest former NFL player to leverage his success at an HBCU into an opportunity at the FBS level. His departure would be a significant loss for Tennessee State, but his tenure has left the program in a much stronger position than when he arrived.
