Scot Loeffler joins Eagles after six seasons at Bowling Green
Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler has stepped down to take on a new role as the quarterbacks coach for the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. The announcement came Friday, marking a significant career move for the 50-year-old coach.
Loeffler, who spent six seasons at Bowling Green, will be replacing Doug Nussmeier, who has joined former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore in New Orleans as part of the Saints' coaching staff.
Under Loeffler’s leadership, the Falcons posted a 7-6 record in 2024 and made three bowl game appearances during his tenure, finishing with an overall record of 27-41. His departure signals a new chapter for Bowling Green, as the university now begins the search for its next head coach.

A former Michigan quarterback, Loeffler brings extensive coaching experience at both the college and professional levels. His NFL coaching résumé includes a stint with the Detroit Lions in 2008, while his college background features working under legendary coach Urban Meyer at Florida.
Bowling Green athletic director Derek van der Merwe acknowledged Loeffler’s impact, praising his leadership and commitment to the program’s values.
“BGSU is a special university and community that truly embraces relationships, people and the student experience,” Derek van der Merwe mentioned.
“In these last six seasons, Scot built a very successful program in a challenging climate in collegiate sports. More importantly, he built this program while ensuring his team and coaches were truly committed to the values and mission that make this university great. Like other great coaches in the history of BGSU football, he has demonstrated that when you build around the strengths of this University and its mission, anything is possible. I am looking forward to this process of finding the next great leader for our program who embraces what it means to be a Falcon.” (via: Field Level Media)
